Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

Ah. I was confused about that but I get it. So sorry for them.

OK, all packed and swum. Need to eat something sometime today, I guess.... I've got my free drink coupons!

So far, my flights are on schedule, but it's a direct, probably coming from the NE, not midwest.

Need to make a stop on the way, so shutting down here. See y'all later.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

flea, I don't know your SiL, or your in-laws, but it sounds like someone laid a guilt trip on them. That was my SiL's technique every year. She used to brag about it. Now that the kids are grown-up and everyone meets at my daughter's for Christmas, I don't feel the need to slap the SiL across the face every time I see her.

Man, you know the snowstorm is getting bad when only two out of the four weather cameras on campus are working. All four were working earlier today.

edited for clarity. Proper pronouns help.

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

Just got back from lunch. It's already almost too windy to use an umbrella.

Still just rain so far.

Art Crawl!!!

I just back from knitting and it's starting to hail here. Quite a bit windier and that wind is chilly.

BTW, I recommend today's Brothers Grimm related Google doodle. Particularly for the knitters amongst us.

Looks like we're not going to see blizzard action until well after rush hour.

ION, this had me LOLing:

George Takei Congratulates You For Coming Out as Gay to Your Family

For a low fee, Conan show’s Andy Richter and his friends will come to your holiday dinner and out you as gay to your family. For just $1.95 more, George Takei will come congratulate you on being gay and welcome you to the “wonderful world of gay.”

If it's possible, I love Takei even more.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Gotta pack for Florida tonight.(Annual trip to see the folks rather than them coming to us.)

Huh. People are weird.

I got a call a couple weeks ago from a guy who was looking for historic information about one of our sites; turns out one of his ancestors had worked there. I looked it up and realized that we had demolished our facilities there several decades ago, and we have nothing in our current files about it.

When he called me back, I told him we didn't have anything, pointed him to a well-researched amateur webpage with a lot of useful information, and gave him the telephone number of our organizational historian, who might have advice for him. (His best bet is really the National Archives, since that's where our old files go to die.)

What does he do next? He sends another email to the Big Boss, asking all the same questions I'd already told him we didn't have any information on. Of course, the Big Boss forwards the email to me, and we're back where we started.

Why do people do this?
