I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

OK. Lecture cancelled, which was predictable. The police at the VA wouldn't let the lecturer leave the building to come down here.

Two dead, including the gunman, and seven injured. The injured are all being triaged through our ER. God, that was way too close for comfort.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Relief for Vonnie. Stay calm! Maybe pamper yourself a little tonight.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

brenda, you've used it before, right? I either learned about TR here or on Twitter.

Nope. But I'm giving it a shot! I want both my couches hauled out so that I can rearrange and replace them with things more suited for the space I have. It's been a royal pain figuring out how to do that.

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

Jesus, Vonnie, that's a drama and a half for a workday. Nobody needs that. Glad you're on the other end of it safely.

I'm trying to work out how to handle management. How to give the CIO more information than she asked for, because she asked the wrong question, and I wanted to forestall the next one? How to get the manager to get the boss to pull the trigger on some stuff, so I can go ahead on it without seeming like I'm nagging? It's a delicate balance. I don't know if I'm doing it right.

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

Oh Vonnie, how scary! So glad you were safe.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Defend Rush Limbaugh.

Also defend Vonnie! Holy crap!
