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.

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

We just had someone on a meeting ask if it was procedure to send out email notifications to people affected by an internet outage. She got really thorough explanations from two people.

Heh. You posting that prompted me to check my work e-mail on my phone and sure enough, there's my notification of connectivity failure.

Because books.

My terrifying all day meeting has been changed to two two hour meetings, and a new confusing hour meeting has been added to my schedule today. I'm a little hand-wavey and at a loss.

Still better than an all-day meeting, I hope?

What's important is what you decided to wear, you know.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yup, we had snow this morning. SO went fishing anyway because it's his day off.

So the dumplings I got were cheap and tasty, but now I have a headache, so I'm guessing they were tasty because of all the MSG they put in them.

We are having one of the first nice, mild sunny days here. And by mild I mean 10C. It's been a cold spring.

The snow that postponed the baseball game on Monday was pretty much gone by noon yesterday. (The postponed game was supposed to start at 1pm on Tuesday but it was delayed 2 hours so they could finish all the snow removal in the stadium - only 150 people showed up to watch that game).

It is now snowing again. I think we have an inch or two of accumulation so far. We are expecting more through tonight.

I just turned on the local news, and they're saying there are images of a possible suspect carrying a black bag.
