Now tagless for your comfort.

Cashmere, I lucked into a sneak-preview screening of Frankenweenie, and it is ADORABLE. It's the best movie from Tim Burton in years, probably since Big Fish. And it touches on similar issuers, in a way.

Glad you got to see it early! We are very excited about it. Although, now that I think back, when Owen started talking about it, he asked me where I buried their first fish after he started watching the trailers. I think he was getting ideas.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Breaking Calvin

I've only seen snippets of Breaking Bad because I have no time for Netflix right now, but still, pretty awesomely hilarious.

Good morning. I am on an airplane (boarding) after 4 hours of sleep. Nmy return flight tonight doesn't get in until midnight. Wtf was I thinking when I booked this??

Also, I went to hot yoga class take 2 last night, and swear it was worse than the first one. Ew.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh good lord. I just bought a groupon for speed dating, where all of the events top out at my age.

Younger men, woohoo!

I definitely have nothing against younger men. I guess it's just because it's a smaller market, all of the events are general -- like 25-39. In NYC, there were always a million slices by age and race and religion. Sometimes grossly -- women 21-25, men 30-39, say.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Man, I *hate* having to explain what our department does TO MY BOSS. Who's been here 12 years.

Everyone knows he's just marking time until he retires, and he so totally doesn't give a crap about what goes on...until he's called on by higher-ups to explain a problem, and then he can't. Because he's never bothered to actually learn what magical mystical things happen to files when we FTP them to our web host.

Wow, that sounds awk, Jesse. But who knows, maybe there's a hot boytoy (which autocorrect turned into "bottom"!) there. IIRC, Burrell's husband is a few years younger than her...

Teppy, eek. That sort of thing would make me nuts.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm looking at the Scale of the Universe online website thingie and just discovered there's a cosmic object called "Gomez's Hamburger." Not as impressive as "The Pillars of Creation," but charming in its own right.
