I am also off topic in that I am crying at the end of Sondheim: The Birthday Concert.
Off Topic Amy's!
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Because books.
Off Topic Amys would be an excellent band name.

Joel Shumacher passed a group of friends outside a sushi place in Manhattan. He looked even more California Sunshine in person. My friends couldn't figure out why I was tickled and then thought there was something wrong with me for being able to identify a director of Brat Pack movies.
My Lost Boys love is legion.

"We're The Off Topic Amys and our next song is 'Watch Me Tangent!' 1-2-3...Did I tell you about the time the gerbil ate his way through the middle of my Georgette Heyer collection?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So I thought I got an invitation to a casual alumni cocktail party, but I read the email more closely, and it turns out to be a CAUSAL cocktail party. Awesome! Nerds.

Aims! The Giants rookie Brandon Belt is a tall gangly dude such that the local announcer compared him (quite aptly) to a baby giraffe. He got to meet a baby giraffe.

Are you sure it's not a correlation cocktail party?

Also completely off topic, but, the male editor in my [former] editorial group, who was the only one who had been promoted (twice), just quit because "it wasn't a good fit" because the job had changed so much recently (true, they basically added a whole other job to it) and he was working ridiculous hours as a result. He had been there for almost ten years.
So, in just over a year, they have lost 3 of 5 editors (and hopefully, as of next week, maybe 4). Even my crazy boss is talking of leaving. They are royally screwed. And it's their own damn fault.

They're not your editorial group anymore.
