The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

On this past Scandal, I adored that "You must be

That was a good moment, I also liked that in the scene where they were bluffing the company officers/board members over the morality clause, they made a point of having at least one board member saying "Fine by me, bring it on."

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

Jesse, and I'm sure she has some fascinating stories to tell about that very subject.

Lee--that was good too. So much seems to hinge on everyone having something sordid in their past or current lives that it's nice to see...normal? I hope that is normal, anyway. But I've never seen an example of one of those docs myself.

the 2 mile route is terrible

Terrible in terms of scenery? It was weird to think that one of my jobs could have a PCH commute, that I could spend that much mandatory time with the ocean in view Right There, but I didn't end up taking that route unless something was wrong with my normal one. Depending on a highway with so few lanes didn't feel like an everyday gamble.

You know what's embarrassing? Assuming someone's (non-Anglo) name is a synonym for penis, and using that in calls and email, and then noticing their coworkers don't call him that, and it's not the name in his email signature.

But it is the name in his email address, so I had to ask. And he does tend to go for the Anglicised (Bowdlerised) version, but shit--not a relaxing convo to have with almost a complete stranger.

Art Crawl!!!

ita - that is so exactly the reason that work related emails should use email addresses that have some sort of relationshiop to a sender's actual name.

Our wings are not tired.

DH regularly takes the coastal route which is 45 minutes instead of 30, but so much more relaxing. I-95 vs A1A. Of course, it could be the abundance of bikini clad scenery that holds his interest in the slow road.

Because books.

Aw, I remember A1A! Although now I'm remembering that when we lived in Boca Raton (1979, 1980), there was still a Sambo's there.

I would like to be in Florida right now. Or anywhere that isn't here.

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

I would also like to be in Florida right now, as I assume it is not snowing there.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

It's snowing in Tennessee.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Terrible in terms of scenery?

Yep, the works -- scenery, crappy sidewalks, exhaust, etc.

A1A just makes me think of Vanilla Ice.

Come visit! It is 78F at the moment, although they claim it will only be 68F tomorrow.
