Ugh, Jessica.
Thanks, Hil and Typo. Anything to make my face stop hurting.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Realize he's talking about HIGH SCHOOL and you're talking about commuting from the same job you still have today.
OK, but your coworker is legit a baby, though, right? I mean the transit strike was, what, five years ago? six? or..... seven.
I had to yell at a coworker on Tuesday that he wasn't old enough to remember Hurricane Gloria, which must be literally true.

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

Yeah, absolutely. I'd just never had the math thrown so directly in my face before!

Hurricane Gloria
That was the September I went to college! God, I hated that song after just one day.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Hurricane Gloria
That's one of my earliest memories. I was about 3 or 4, I think. I remember being stuck inside for a while, and then my dad took us on a walk around the neighborhood, and there were trees down everywhere, and I wanted to climb them (because I wanted to climb pretty much everything, ever) but he said no.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Also, have you all seen the Harris-Burtka family costume????
Hard to say which is cuter, this or the baby red pandas.
There was a big shooting on campus last night, literally ON campus. 4 people shot. 2 people arrested but I don't know if one of them was the shooter.

On Monday, I was especially grateful for cable, remembering being stuck in the house all day (in no danger at all) with only STORM COVERAGE on TV.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Last night Jon Stewart said something about 'watching all your childhood memories be washed away.' I nearly choked up.
"Did you ever have one of those days where everything you loved as a child was under water?"
No one makes me laugh and cry like Jon Stewart. I think it's his super power.

Holy crap, Burrell.
I don't know if any of the victims or perps were students, but it's scary regardless. A lot of people walking around that campus both from the neighborhood and associated with the school, and they all feel quite safe. Less safe than we thought.
