Oh, neat.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

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.
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...

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We often call my cousin Brian "brain."
I have said all of my good-byes, and would leave early, except I am going to a party at my coworker's house (planned before I gave notice) and am getting a ride straight there at 5:30.

This list of 917 people who are hotter than Benedict Cumberbatch is mean, inaccurate, and funny as hell. I lost my shit at #917.

The (not-an-actual) problem with this job is that I just came across a reference to our work on The Toast, and still don't want to send it to my coworker.

The bot that sends out bug fix notifications from our educational portal site is abbreviated "Ed Portal" and it makes me laugh every. single. time.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
It wasn't terrible, just...salty. I can see it being a useful ingredient for umami, like anchovy paste or soy sauce, but I think in order to enjoy it on toast you probably had to grow up with it.
Yeah, it works great as an ingredient in veggie patties or stuff like that. But just by itself, on toast? I don't like it at all.
