And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Because books.

shrift, I will save your cookie for later.

I really want to curl up in a ball and go to sleep, but that's not a good. I mean, it's a GREAT idea, I just probably shouldn't.

... just realized I accidentally scheduled my doctor's appointment for when I'm going to be in NYC. I fail at calendars. Okay, calling back. UGH.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have pretty much cleaned out my office, and have just one email I would still send.

Not long now, Jesse! Have you said all your good-byes?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Brenda and shrift, I heard on the radio this morning that the S. African consulate (200 S. Michigan) has a condolence book that anyone can go in and sign through next week.

All right. Dentist, doctor, and optometrist all scheduled, and here's hoping they are on the days I think they are. I'll worry about getting a haircut later.

Are you leaving early, Jesse? I thought that was a prerogative of last days.

Is that across the street from the Art Institute?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Sometimes it's the little things that make my day. I just corrected an article proof that refers to the "Department of Psychological and BRIAN Sciences." Now, it *could* be the most specialized department on the planet, and only studies the psychology of dudes named Brian, but I'm thinking maybe some letters got transposed...

There are a few Brians it would be worth looking into, I bet.
