Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Oh I love having a crush on someone.

Me too. He looks just like Hardison on Leverage, but is apparently the guy on lab all the girlies go "awwww, so fine" over. And I feel like, NO! HE IS MY TERRIBLE CRUSH, BITCHES!

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

So I'm still thinking of a Night Circus birthday party with Fred Steak, zebra pasta, caramel corn, chocolate mice and a big giant black and white cake with raspberry filling.

If you do this, please take photos so I can live vicariously through them.

Because books.

What's Fred Steak?

My biggest crush right now is Cat Deeley, but that probably doesn't count.

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

I haven't had a good proper crush in forever--like, since I stopped hanging out with comedians.

Probably for the best.

You can have a crush on my Hardison delivery guy, too. I'd post a pic, but then he could tell I was stalking through referrer logs, and then that would be humiliating.

He has his picture up on his website?

This is a really creepy support queue meeting. People are not volunteering for development tasks, so there are more big gaps of silence, but this time our manager is on the call.

They're still not talking though, and I got asked to volunteer someone for stuff.

Uh, I have no idea and I don't manage anyone?

This week is totally Bizarro World at ita !'s work.

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

I finally got through to my brother, so that was good. And he said he would give me miles to fly to Colorado for a weekend, which was hella nice of him (although also the sort of thing he tends to forget he offered).

The Atlantic has a really interesting article about professional women and careers and the work-life balance, which basically says that there's no way to have it all unless American society gets restructured to work better. Which, yeah, didn't we know that already? [link]

He tends bar on the weekends, so there are pics of him on the bartending website.

I wonder if he can make a proper gimlet. Apparently we can hire him to do so.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And I've seen some great commentary about the bullshit packaging -- I think Jessica Valenti called it Sad White Babies with Bad Feminist Moms or something.

I also wish I had a crush.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hire him for the F2F!
