My sister is unfazed by the delay to Community, because she'll need to rewatch the whole thing once she finishes it the first time (she's on S3 now).

Good lord. Her privilege is disgusting.

Alright, back to prepping for the CIO meeting.

Goddamn $8 fusible link that of course is not stocked on site. Goddamnit.

Anyone have magic solutions to make me stop clenching my jaw in the night?

One thing recommended by my TMJ therapist that seems to help is sleeping with some kind pillow roll under your neck. He just put rubber bands around a soft pillow, but a roll pillow or an ergonomic neck support pillow works. Apparently having your head tilted back helps cut down on clenching.

So I guess Kimberly-Clark is right to try to maintain Kleenex(tm)(c)(R).

The Crescent® wrench people fought a valiant but futile battle.

ita,

yes that is correct: I always have my phone in my voicemails. I don't use the computerized system voice at all.

Too descriptive! This is why every new product is called CorMaxAble.

That means you have to sleep on your back? You know, now I wonder if I started clenching when I stopped sleeping on my back. Also, does the fact that I've been remembering a lot of dreams recently mean that I haven't been sleeping well? I have a lot of questions about sleep.

Sexy Halloween costumes have gone too far.

Sexy Bert and Ernie Halloween Costumes

MAN those are stupid. Neither Bert nor Ernie wears suspenders or overalls. Duh.

I don't use the computerized system voice at all.

That's the degree of anonymity that leaves me feeling lost. If I've never spoken to you at this number I very rarely leave a message.

I know our mandated (why did I get suckered into doing this when other people in my position don't?) practice of having the date in our message (therefore changing every morning) is a bit OTT, at least you have an idea of the pulse at the other end of the line.

The friend of mine who actually successfully guilts me into playing a move every week in Scrabble says the computer pulled him a hand of IAM ITA and he's been weirded out ever since, and wants to know if I'm dead and in the tubes.

I did not know "crescent wrench" was a brand. I believe the thought in synthesizing cocaine was similar, Scola. Also a huge lie.

Anyone follow EveryBlock?

Apparently there was a bad fire on my block that started a few hours ago.

I don't think it was my apartment building....

Yikes.
