Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Because books.

Do you have anything with sugar? Orange juice, maybe? Or any kind of juice? At this point, whatever else is going on, your blood sugar is probably pretty low, which is going to make you shaky and dizzy.

(My immersion blender died last night while I was making soup. Bear with me.)

It would not be right to buy this solely because it is called Ninja Warrior: [link]

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

Yeah, I don't think I'm chewing anything right now. I'll keep going on the Gatorade for a while and then upgrade to juice, less diluted than I usually drink it.

This has got to be a publicity stunt. NSFW in that it mentions porn, but it only mentions the word, not any actual porn.

"Hotels around the world have it, so why wouldn't we?" is what Michael O'Leary, boss of budget European airline Ryanair, says about in-flight porn.

OH GOD SO MANY REASONS.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, ita.

My coworker was just saying she was embarrassed by what she was watching on her laptop on the plane, and it was not actual porn

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Isn't Ryanair the airline that recently flew with a window "fixed" with duct tape? (Leading to an emergency landing since apparently duct tape isn't the best way to "fix" a window ON AN AIRPLANE.)

That's a well-run airline.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I spotted several reporters on campus today. The sexual abuse story. [link] I'm not sure exactly what they're trying to find out on campus -- pretty much, they seem to just be interviewing students who don't know any more about what's going on than anybody else does. The reporters are also completely ignoring the Occupy protest, which is going on about ten feet from where the reporters are standing, which is at least somewhat amusing. (I'm sure the general feeling among out-of-town reporters is something like, "You're occupying a student lounge? With couches and heat and a coffee shop and a food court? Whatever.")

The first time I heard of Ryanair was several years ago, when either they first started or they were started some big new publicity campaign, where they offered free airfare to anyone named Ryan. Apparently they hadn't actually bothered to figure out how many people there are in Ireland named Ryan, and they ended up losing a bunch of money on it. I think they'd expected to get money from all the other people traveling with the Ryans.

Fay just told me on Facebook that she found Cold Kiss in Bangkok!
