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.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just corrected an article proof that refers to the "Department of Psychological and BRIAN Sciences."

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Is that across the street from the Art Institute?
That sounds about right.

Oh, a question for people who are better at the whole "unwritten social rules" stuff than I am. Each year, around the holidays, my landlord leaves a present for me. The first few years it was a gift box of cheese from the university creamery, but she's figured out that I'm vegan, and gave me a box of candy this year. When she gave me the cheese, I would bring it to my parents, and my mom said that, if she gave me something, then we should give her something, so we'd send something (my mom generally picked it out) from some website and sign the card from the family. This year, since I'm the one eating the candy, I figure I should be the one sending the present in return. What am I supposed to give her? Would baking cookies and wrapping them up nice with ribbon and stuff be OK, or should I buy something? If so, what should I buy?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I think homemade cookies are always a good idea, Hil.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I agree with Kate. I also have been known to get people a bottle of wine if I know they like it.
