Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

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.

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

I did sign up for a course on Coursera, called The Modern and the Postmodern. We'll see if I get through the initial reading, which is Rousseau, Kant, and Marx.

Challenging coursework! I had a hard enough time with those guys when I was 20. Actually, Marx is fairly straighforward and interesting. Rousseau is all rhetorical and hopped up on his own jazz. Kant is some dense reading, though.

Jesse, how about a trip here: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Of course that's what I sent back to my coworker when she sent me the first one!

So your coworkers think know you're a cowgirl, too?

Because books.

Two key people (one of them my immediate supervisor) are handing in their resignations tomorrow. I don't see this ending well for anyone.

Challenging coursework!

After that comes Madame Bovary, though, so I don't know what to think.

Exactly! Why are they sending you cowgirl links??

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I realize this says terrible things about me, but is the Maury Povich Show now (yes, still on TV) just paternity tests and lie detector tests?

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

After that comes Madame Bovary, though, so I don't know what to think.

When do they get to the 20th century? They must be covering a huge sweep of literature.

Oh crud, I ate breakfast about an hour ago and now I'm nauseous again. WTF is up, body?
