FTR, IT is on the floor above me.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Yeah, currently my IT dept is five floors above me, but there's definitely a reason why I find the dilapidated basement set of IT Crowd so hilarious.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Our IT department is in a one story building on the opposite side of the corporate campus, but it's basement like in that it has perpetual issues with mold and jillifonts.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Every time I have a spinach salad (like I did today for lunch) I think of sarameg.
Unrelated to anything y'all are talking about, seeing ads for the new Lincoln movie and the DVD release of the Lincoln Vampire Hunter movie in the same day hurts my brain a little.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Me too!
I have no idea where IT is at my job! That's a little weird. But they are either on the phone or in my office when I see them.

I'm making quince paste. Which is fun. Except time consuming. Also, luckily, quince consuming.

ION, there's an assisted suicide question on our ballot next week, and one of the anti ads is a true testament to the power of tone of voice. I pretty much agree with everything the guy is saying, if you change the tone of voice from "skeptical of this bullshit" to reasonable.

Oh, man, my oldest niece is supposed to fly to Chile to meet her parents on Thursday (her sister is in Valparaiso on exchange this fall, so it's an excuse for a fun family vacation). And this afternoon she broke her wrist playing soccer. And she lives in DC, and since they shut down the metro none of her friends can come sit with her, and her cellphone is dying. Surgery tomorrow, and she doesn't even have a book to read in the hospital.
Poor kid! She thinks she can still go to Chile, since she's meeting a friend in Miami and she'll be with family all the rest of the trip, but yikes, how inconvenient!
(GO Giants!)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
This was a topic here a while back, right? Connie Britton and Sarah Aubrey on Romney's use of "Clear Eyes, Full Hearts". [link]
