I was in meetings all afternoon, and then had to figure out all the ins and outs of bringing a new person on board. Including the HR person telling me I need to find someone outside of my department to be her "buddy." Dude, HR person -- you know how long I've been here! I don't know anyone outside my department! At least, not well enough to ask them a favor. Sheesh.
Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Somehow I managed to get more sleep both nights of the con than I did the night I got home. Sleepy....

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
My ankle is much better today than I expected it to be. However, my jeans were a casualty of the fall. So now I get to figure out if they still actually make the jeans I like.

And of course, my jeans no longer exist.

That is always the way.
You guys, I want to make buttermilk biscuits constantly until I get really good at it. That is reasonable, right?
I walked the reasonable-for-walking half of my commute tonight! The bus was all fucked up, and I had to get out of there. It was a good call. But maybe not again when I'm not really wearing walking shoes.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yes. The only fault in the logic it that you will then be good at making buttermilk biscuits and you'll want to make them all the time.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Except I would pretty much forget to buy buttermilk most of the time, so the risk isn't so huge. (I'm still working through the quart I bought at Christmas.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
On the way up the steps tonight Matilda asked, "Does Cowgirl Jesse know where we live?"
After I sussed that she was NOT talking about the character from Toy Story, I assured that she did, and had, in fact, been in our very apartment.
Matilda was curious about the sender of the parasol.
Just as Emmett had been curious about the person who sent him the monkey head for his scooter (that would be msbelle).
In short: you are known to my children.
