A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Congratulations, Vortex! Rock on with your bad self!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Good for you, Vortex! Congratulations! Now go smack that imposter syndrome down!

VORTEX!

And now I really go to bed, I'm exhausted.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Vortex, you're good enough, you're smart enough, and, gosh darn it, people like you!

Congratulations.

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

Vortex is the champion! She is the champion!

That's in Queen voice, BTW. You can pick the QOYP (Queen Of Your Preference).

I am dealing with not dealing by drawing. Does that work? Can I externalise and put reality in a piece of paper and then scan it and push it away from me? I think that's how that works.

Wow, Louis, CK. Your stuff that was not your recent stuff makes me wonder how you got to your recent stuff--maybe they just travelled back in time to 1996 after 2003 or so to get some History. But, shit, My kingdom for a set without "Uh, wife. No sex anymore. Can't porn. Wherefore jacking off?" I would be the best standups wife because I would PUSH HIM OR HER TO EXCEL. But the two episodes of Lucky Louis I saw were easily laugh out loud, camera count notwithstanding.

I bought new pens and they weren't the right pens. I wanted pens like my pens, but more excellent. Instead I have pens like my pens, but different. With these pens, depressing pictures take more work.

Anyone have a rec for a good (not expensive) pen in line with the Pilot Precise V5 but smaller nib? The tip of the Pentel Hybrid Technica is actually more ballpoint than rolling ball. I have either hit a ceiling or a conflation.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Vortex is the champion! She is the champion!

Vortex is the Boss with the Hot Sauce!

But the two episodes of Lucky Louis I saw were easily laugh out loud,

Emmett and I were listening to a bit from his 2010 standup special, Hilarious and it had us doubled over. The bit gives us the title where he complains bitterly about how people abuse language and have debased "amazing" and "hilarious." "You wasted 'amazing' on a basket of chicken wings. What will you do if something really amazing happens like Jesus comes down from heaven and makes love to you?"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Congrats, Vortex!

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

Congratulations Vortex!

Good job recognizing talent, Vortex's employers!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Brava, Vortex!!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yay, Vortex!

I'm working for a non-profit, which means that salaries aren't all that, but the bennies are good. When my parents were dying I saved up my vacation days in case I needed extended time off to care for them, and never really got back into the habit of mental health days. Too much unused leave gets turned into sick leave at the end of the year. And I'm lucky enough to be relatively healthy, so I haven't used much sick leave. So now I have about three months of sick leave and four weeks of vacation available. I hope I'm never unwell enough to need the former, but if I am it'll be good to have.
