I look more rad than Lutheranism
Why I like my co-workers: when someone brings in donuts, there is not a single whine of "Do you KNOW how many CALORIES are in that?!?" or "I don't eat ANYTHING with carbs!" or even "I want one, but I'm trying so hard to be GOOD."
No, instead there is a flat-out stampede to the kitchen and schemes hatching to get the last jelly-filled donut.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm going to call this a positive story, since we all know such people exist, but even in the most conservative state of Australia, their attitude is apparently no longer politically acceptable: [link]
Edit: actually, just one criticism: the paper described it as an anti-feminist rant. It was anti-women.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Morning, Buffistas. Yet another blah day.
I haven't run this week, because my sister has bronchitis and I can't get myself out of bed early enough without knowing she's meeting me. And I can totally tell it's affecting my state of mind. Bah.
In better news, I did some writing last night, for the first time since last fall, so go me.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Happy birthday, beth! And a belated one to Drew and anyone else I may have missed over the last two months. I'm trying to yank myself out of the morass and re-engage with the world, which includes birthdays and births and pregnancies to be celebrated.
I believe this is highly relevant to our interests.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Welcome back, Maria! Lovely to see your shiny pixels again!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh! Over the weekend, I saw that Danny Masterson has a new sitcom with Adam Busch, James Lesure, and another guy I didn't recognize. So that is probably relevant to certain people's interests. But I also wanted to comment on the fact that I feel like I haven't seen any commentary about how full beards are BACK. I think it's interesting.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy Birthday beth!
You know, I was thinking about the bitter thing on the drive in, and I think most days I'm too worn down/out to be truly bitter.

Oh, did I say happy birthday, beth? Happy birthday, beth!
