Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

did not get fired when summoned to bosses office this morning. sick feeling in stomach will not go away. continue to hate everything. protested by not wearing make-up, everyone concerned with how tired I look. may yet kill someone.

Hey, it's my life! Except I'm still wearing makeup -- although I have considered a similar protest.

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

Serious Eats makes muffaletta-flavored everything:

Hey look at that. The one thing that makes everything else Muffaletta-like is the OLIVE SALAD!

Because without it, it's not a muffaletta.

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

I came into work wondering about clusterfuck A, to discover I'm essentially to blame for clusterfuck B (I should have arranged more testing yesterday--I tested 3/5, and one of the other fifths is broken--thanks, life). I should just yank the bandaid off of A, shouldn't I?

They identified that skeleton found under the carpark in Leicester as Richard III. He's going to be buried with full honors in their cathedral next year. History is so cool.

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

They identified that skeleton found under the carpark in Leicester as Richard III.

I've been thinking about all the cultural stuff that accrues to Richard: the movie The Goodbye Girl and Richard Dreyfus' performance of Richard III; Al Pacino's movie Searching for Richard; Josephine Tey's The Daughter of Time; Blackadder; Robert Louis Stevenson's The Black Arrow; the horror movie The Tower of London, the punk single "Ghosts of Princes in Towers," how Richard informs certain characters in Game of Thrones, et al.

I hope they do a facial reconstruction. The skull looks like it's in good shape.

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

The skull looks like it's in good shape.

Except for the mortal blow and the seven other wounds to the head by vengeful Tudor soldiers that stabbed at his corpse.
