I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yeah, but it doesn't have Hitler.

Dana speaks for me.

Nilly, I'm so sorry. Much love & strength to you & your family.

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

I have done something horrible to my upper back and it's getting worse. There's a knot underneath my right shoulderblade and raising my right arm hurts like hell.

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

Now I'm picturing a Hitler Muppet.

Possibly a Hitler Muppet profile only ever shown in shadow...

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

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Nilly, I am so very sorry for your loss. Much peace, love, and strength to your family.

Shir, thanks for passing on the news.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That's pretty awesome.

I'm completely overdressed for the office today, since I have a two-hour interview this afternoon. Overdressed for the weather, as well: I'm in a navy suit. Got my heels in my bag to switch into when I get to the interview.

On Friday I have a lunch meeting with a senior manager at another firm, and I'm not sure what to wear. Not a suit, since it's not a formal interview. I'm thinking a skirt with a bright top and my multi-colored flats. (It's supposed to be really hot the rest of the week, up to 80 in SF.)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

My mother spoke to the surgeon this morning. They'll do surgery next week, but right now she's more stressed about the MRI she has to have tomorrow. She and I are both insanely claustrophobic, and my last MRI involved two doses of Ativan, going into the tube feet first, and my husband having to stay in the room with me.

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

Calm~ma for your mom, Dana.

Interview~ma, Consuela. I don't know what to advise for the not-formal interview - you are my business casual guru!

I think I may go buy a suit after work, more so I have one that fits than for my interview tomorrow (I've lost half the weight I intend to lose, and I told myself when I reached that milestone I should buy myself a suit, so there you go).

Today I feel all thematic, although possibly too literal? Butterfly print blouse and "sea green" skirt, both gauzey, and yellow sandals (open-toed shoes at work! I feel so scandalous, but it's totally allowed here)
