I am not sure how things fell apart so quickly after my sister left, but I'm rampantly not coping, and on PTO for at least the morning.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have never had scallion pancakes. Apparently I am missing out.
oh ita!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My one coworker had never had scallion pancakes, either! They are the mf bomb.
Oh dear, ita. I feel like a sudden loss of mobility, added to your normal shit, would really be Too Much.

scallion pancakes with poached eggs inside (along with cheese and pesto, the American parts...)
Note to self: go to Boston for lunch.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
May I pimp the Judge John Hodgman podcast? [link] Really smart, funny and usually not very long, so they are great for a commute. I LOVE this podcast,

I need more yoga or meditation podcasts. Things I can listen to while having to write.

You guys, can we talk about money? I want to go to Paris in the winter/spring, and need to hire movers, and probably get a bunch of new furniture (and I'm sick of cheap furniture), AND I need to replace a crown for $500. I do not have money for all of these things! But I think I should still do them all. Going back into debt for a little bit is OK, right?

Since I'm carrying a buttload of debt and STILL planning to use some windfall money to buy a new TV this weekend instead of paying off my credit cards...I vote yes! Hooray for debt!

Speak to me not of unexpected financial demands, said the woman who got a quote for $6000 for braces and has a $1500 maximum insurance benefit for orthodonture. (Her teeth look FINE. I do not understand orthodonture, honestly.)
I would prioritize crown, Paris, and try to figure out a way to self-move with cheap hired help (local students for $10 an hour?), and go longer-term on new furniture (or ask my sister the Craigslist Wonder to shop for you. That girl is an antiques cheapskate of magic proportions.)

Also, I am totes buying a new mattress this Monday. Our old one came to us in 1996 and was not new then, which now that I type it out, that is embarrassing. Man.
