I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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

I think some guy who answered a work tech support call (one for form--I needed to create a ticket through our third party help desk so the guy one row over could officially do something for me) just sent me a connect request on LinkedIn. There's no other reason some guy I've never met, but with that resume is looking in my direction.

How freaking creepy.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

All the other boys, they try to bathe me, but here's my number, so call me maybe...

Okay, is Mindy Kaling always annoying?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

New Libba Bray?! runs to Amazon, even if the ending of The Sweet Far thing was annoying.

Did you find it? Creepy shit. I'm intrigued.

Now tagless for your comfort.

The Cards/Nationals game is killing DH.

Disappointingly, I'm beginning to suspect so. I was all primed to be all supportive of increased diversity in TV comedy, but it turns out there are some places I don't value diversity--a variety of quality, for instance. I'm a snob that way.

Me too! But I was rooting for the Nats.

Because books.

Davey Johnson manages the Nationals, too. I wanted them to win for him.

Brutal loss giving up a two run lead in the 9th. Welcome to heartbreak baseball.

Motte was bringing serious heat in the bottom of the 9th, blowing it in at 100 mph.
