Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Matt,

either of the first two would be my vote.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I like the swoosh and the bubble. And the TARDIS.

I am hammockless.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

God, so many years on and I still get to have screaming fights with EM.

Divorce with kids: spend the next fifteen years of your life working weekly on intimate life affecting details with the person who betrayed you the worst and caused you the most hurt and damage.

It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Suzi! Why they gotta be such assholes?

Oh damn Hec.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Emmett's a senior in high school this year. So it's almost over, le nub.

Still. So stressful. And whenever we have a fight (which is maybe two or three times a year) there's no protective padding, no armor. It goes right back to old wounds, cutting to bone and sinew. It gets fierce and unforgiving like no other relationship. Because there's too much fucking history and too much fucking at stake.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh my god, these Charmin commercials with the bears. What has happened to our society?

I blame people. They're the worst.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Oh Burrell, you have been dealing with so much. If I thought I could help in any way that is sufficient, I would.

I spent last night at Huntington in a meeting. I need to stop doing that and I need to resign from volunteering.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am really disturbed by how upset I am that my University has switched to Pepsi products. Why is Pepsi everywhere! I hate carrying in soda.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That would annoy me, too, Sophia. I rarely actually drink soda anymore, but when I do want it I want it to be Diet Coke and not having that in the vending machines would be aggravating.

In fact, I was just thinking yesterday that I need to develop some kind of Diet Coke filled truffle for those days when all I want is chocolate and Diet Coke all day.

Work can just take a flying leap. I'm taking vacation for the first time since December. If you didn't get back to me last week when I sent out a request for info with the vacation caveat, too late now.
