Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I bet it's OK, as long as the fat contents are similar.

Speaking of lazy, I just made a potato's worth of chips in my oven, which was super easy thanks to my mandoline, and I might just make another one and call that dinner.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Amy!

Don't know my status yet for work. Those in charge will send out an e-mail on Friday.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

We'll be fine - it will get to be a pinch if it goes on for more than a couple of weeks, but if it's a day or two it's actually not a big deal, even a little break.

Yeah, what flea said. Heck it'll be less stressful than when I was out of work trying to get this contract lined up. At least now I have health insurance.

Also FTR, staying home from work today was a good call, since I got not one email I needed to respond to. And I did my laundry.

That's the NYT article on the shut down. Starts out clear and then ends all muddy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why has Chase sent me a "we've been hacked" email? I have a Chase account? *Now* I'm paranoid.

The board has a Chase account, if it could be that?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I wonder if that was part of the plan?

Probably.

My favorite non-dairy ice cream is So Delicious coconut milk-based ice cream. No cholesterol but I'm sure it's high fat. But real dairy ice cream tastes even better.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'll take gelato over ice cream every day. Less fat too. Of course, I cancel out that fact by insisting that my delivery method for said gelato be in a brioche, but damn it's tasty.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I took it. It wasn't an accurate depiction of me at all.

The result seemed like an asspull but taking the test was cool. I was deciding a lot of things based on physics and others based on inflammation and infections. I really spend too much time with documentaries... Now I want to rewatch the one on cuttlefish.

I've only had 11 cars? That seems low. Even given my propensity to fall in love and keep them for a very long time.

What else to do??

Trepannation.
