Lordy. There was a child bitten by a coyote near here yesterday. I don't mean to make light (he's going to be fine, ftr), and obviously I am highly sympathetic right now, but it happened while the boy was petting it. I just can't help laughing picturing it.
I've been reading back through the COMM thread (on which note, that whole discussion about the guy who claimed that cunnilingus and I think doing housework was emasculating is one of the funniest things I've ever read, and ten years later it's still hilarious), and by coincidence I'd just got to this one: jengod "Coffee On My Monitor" Mar 12, 2003 2:15:39 am PST.
(PS: My sincere apologies for noting that that cunnilingus conversation took place ten years ago. Because really.)
Belated Happy Birthday, ChiKat!
Happy Birthday, sumi!

On that note, Linda Holmes: [link] I'm not sure I totally agree, but it's interesting to think about....
Eh, I am continuously startled by the passing of time, it has nothing to do with pretending to be young. Time is just weird, man, no matter how long you spend living in it you don't quite get used to it. Or, I don't. Or I haven't yet, anyway.
Which is also odd, it's not like I used to live in stasis or in a differently moving time (that I know of, anyway), so you would think I would be as used to time as I am to having oxygen conveniently around for breathing, but no, it's constantly surprising to me that time is passing.
OTOH, don't listen to me about anything, I just set my toaster oven on fire. Making toast.
Did you know fire extinguisher have expiration dates?
It's out now, I'll worry about whether the toaster oven is ruined or salvageable later...

Yeah, that.
Also, at work I've found it useful to throw out references to things from a long time ago, so people realize what a "seasoned professional" I actually am.

This is exactly why I keep telling the people at work about dinosaur evolution.
NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE YOU ARE THAT OLD, BILLYTEA.
But seriously, when I tell people my first job in NYC didn't have email, they totally recast me in their heads.
one of my tasks as an intern was making real paper copies of the faxes.
good times. also, kids totally confused by what I mean.
I have been a responsible worker for 45 minutes this morning, I think it is time to stop this nonsense.
