In nice news, Anna Faris (and Chris Pratt) had the baby, and named him Jack! Babies.

I can't believe how hard I am screwing around today, as my big deadline draws ever closer.... But it's not for days yet! I have plenty of time! (Unless something turns out to be really fucked up, and then I'll be screwed and/or working over the weekend.)

Fable of ant and grasshopper. One is prepared for winter, one fiddles his life away and ends up hungry.

God, I am stuck at "work" babysitting a client's house while the cable guy works, and I am bored as shit and antsy and my back hurts. And I haven't had lunch yet.

smonster,

I thought I knew all the fables. I have fucked up!

Jack Pratt? And what will his diet look like, I wonder?

Ha! I didn't think of that.

And I'm trying to figure out wtf my options are regarding my vacation (less important than lives and property, I realize!!)-- I'm supposed to fly to New Orleans on the day the storm hits. Which, I'm sure they'll let me change, but I don't think it would be much of a vacation if, say, the power is out everywhere and I have nothing to eat and all the restaurants are closed. But I don't know if they'll let me cancel entirely (well, and get my money back, I could always just not get on a flight). So much for big 35th birthday plans.

I can't believe how hard I am screwing around today

I keep reading CaptainAwkward. com instead of editing this thrilling article about thrombocytosis.

I'll trade you an article on global bathymetry, Steph.

Ooh, good luck with that, meara.

Ain't no party like a hurricane party cuz a hurricane party don't stop...
