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

PJ's gone and picked up the kids when the tornado threat is bad,even sometimes discovering in hindsight, they moved to worse danger(actually, I think my brother did it once, and found himself caught in traffic heading into one, so he's all fuckit now . )

This is what I worry about!

Yeah, I'm a bit blasé about tornados having grown up where they are, but don't go on the road! Bad plan.

Well, Rose's daycare is just a mile from my office, so it's not like I'd be on the road long... but you're probably right. And now I'm remembering the time last year when I drove home at midday because the sirens were going, and realized that (a) everyone else in Nashville was on the road too, and (b) I would be driving basically right into the worst of it. Not my finest moment.

M just landed in Chicago, thank the FSM, so I think I'm headed to bed now. Wish us a whole lotta nothin' tomorrow!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

What is the (please forgive me) essence that makes pesto pesto?

I think it's just a paste, a tasty, delicious paste. It doesn't even have to be green.

My Italian food conundrum is why is pasta called pasta? Doesn't pasta also mean paste?

I know that Hec, but it's still like calling bread "dough."

Consuela, you definitely are playing the right cards for working your way into another job. I bow in your direction.

Thanks, ita ! I dunno; when I was younger, I would never have consciously have done the networking thing, I was wayyy too insecure. Now I'm like, "Dude: that place you worked gave you a bunch of people who know you're good, and who all left to go off to different places. Use the connections!" Because I'm totally happy to be someone else's connection, if I can think of anything.

It helps to have a diaspora: my last private-sector job was with a bunch of very competent, mostly very nice people, and then the place fell apart when the VP left to start his own firm. Shortly thereafter about a dozen of us left in quick succession. It's that diaspora that is the basis of my networking efforts. It's been wickedly helpful, I must admit.

Yeah, I wonder how that came about etymologically.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Jeez, it's 82F in my house right now. I still have flannel sheets on my bed and the cover on the swamp cooler! So unprepared.

Apparently when you date a 24 year old you go to karaoke until 1am on a Wednesday night. Since im more a night owl, I had a great time and am not that tired...but tomorrow morning is going to suck. Not as much as it will for her though--she works at Starbucks and has to be there at 430AM.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Sepinwall and Fienberg hated the Da Vinci show. The pilot they claimed was especially poor. So if you watch the show, skip the pilot at the very least. Their description of it makes the show sound like ass, so watchers beware.
