I totally have a type. Most of my friends can pick it out. But I wouldn't say my exes really looked alike, exactly.

My friend`s parents were brothers married to sisters, who then divorced and married the other sibling. So his uncle is his stepfather and his dad is his stepuncle. And they all get together at family gatherings and have, according to all sources, a nice time.

Holy crap! That's impressively cordial. Apparently my great-grandfather and his sister in law (I think?) had an affair, and when his brother found out, the brother moved himself and his wife back to Denmark (from Chicago, back in the early 1900s). Of course, my great-grandfather's wife was in an asylum, so I imagine he was having a rough time of things.

I guess I'm up next and need to read Jill Thompson's Scary Godmother to her.

How have you not read Scary Godmother to her before? HOW?

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

Rassenfrassen insomnia! Been awake since 3:45 am. Will now need start day regardless. And won't have time or opportunity to nap later either. Grrr.

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

Same here, Burrell. Except I'm also out of pain meds, which I'm going through entirely too fast these days. I'm in too much pain. Like, more than usual. I don't think I can make it to the office today, but I damned well better work.

Art Crawl!!!

A reason why things have been tense at my office.

And what our student newspaper thinks of it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

DH and I are going to a pub quiz tomorrow night with some of my co-workers. Team name suggestions? (Must be worksafe/tasteful - we'll be representing my company and the event is a charity fundraiser for Crohn's disease.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It should be a play on something about your work, no? Not that I have any ideas....

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, ugh, sumi; I'm pretty sure that every Buffista who works for a uni or looniversity just got a "No, no, profoundly stupid idea" gut-cramp.

ION, I wish I'd known about this awesome Mother's Day folk song from a biologist to his mom yesterday.

Hmmm....that's too difficult this early, Jessica. And I keep reverting to GI tract jokes.

I've only been involved with 2 guys less than 6 feet tall.

HA! I remember my ex, Malik, used to get irked when I pointed out that at 5'11" he was the shortest guy I had dated.
