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

Hee. Everything is WebAssign's fault. (Or Webassing, as one student spelled it.)

I just completed the stupid health profile that the university is now requiring to avoid paying an extra $100 a month on health insurance. It asked me to "commit to" managing my weight, getting more cardiovascular exercise, and managing my blood pressure. It also informs me that I am at risk for respiratory disease and colon cancer.

Those are fun.

I am managing my blood pressure. My prescriptions, let me show you.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

(There's probably a clear line past which you can no longer elope, and some people pass that when they announce the engagement, but there sure must be points were it feels really enticing...)

Jesus H. Christ, last week I was ready to cancel it all and elope.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

It's a wedding, Teppy. There is a special form of Murphy's Law that applies.

You are under tremendous stress. Stress is a self-replicating organism that causes stupidity, which leads to more stress.

You are smart and literate, and you have vast experience in dealing with complicated projects, deadlines and idiot authors. You are a catch. Now, do not think about employment until you finish getting married. Sufficient onto the day is the crisis thereof.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel that this is important. Please make mental substitutions as necessary. [link]

Because books.

This is so true. I think I actually read about a study on that kind of thing, in fact.

IN PIE, WE CRUST. Somewhere Dean Winchester is feeling a surge of love.

This may be the best vine video ever. It's framed so well, and I cannot stop laughing (music may play automatically, so mute your computer if you don't want to hear it): [link]
