We have a new teammate who is British and new to town and, at our fundraiser last night where we were raffling off baseball tickets, asked me what an "Orioles" was!
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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.

Okay, I had a conversation with my manager this morning and I think we're on the same page WRT what I should be working on, so I have been empowered to say no to people.
Not good was that I whiffed on a call I was supposed to join this morning, but it turns out it's totally not my fault and I get to blame technology.

Must be patient with the baby-tech on the phone. He's working for a company that's cheap and hasn't told him things, just get the system working.
He sounds so damned young! I think I scared him. I'm not used to people who think I sound intimidating.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yikes: The New York Daily News reports that L'Wren Scott, fashion designer and long-term partner of Mick Jagger, has been found dead in her Manhattan apartment. Sources say that her assistant discovered her hanging by a scarf from a doorknob. Scott left no note.

Because books.
I just saw a tweet from Tom and Lorenzo about that. And apparently she did tweet something right before her death, even if she didn't leave a note.

Oh my gosh, that's so sad.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Suicide is so, so sad.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
These people on Love it or List It, Too (because obviously they need more than one of these shows), and these people are such bitches, I can't even cope. Being on reality TV doesn't give you a license to be mean!
Yes, I know it kind of does.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I woke up around 1am this morning due to pins and needles pain in my hand. It took about an hour and a heating pad to get it to stop. Now it keeps just almost going back to that place so I felx my hand and bring it back from the edge.
What did I do to myself and how do I make it stop?

They seem to go out of their way to find pretty-yet-unagreeable people to feature on that show. (My roommate is addicted to it.) All kinds of different ways to be awful.
And, Hillary always goes over-budget. Every.single.time. Which has to be on purpose, so far as I can figure.
