Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Tried a chocolate chai latte from Starbucks. Kinda underwhelmed. (Not enough chai)

I made a Jane Eyre joke about the 300 sandwiches guy and no one laughed.

Try the joke on us and see if we laugh.

Someone replied with:

Career man must sort through 300 pairs of jeans to find ones that perfectly fit his girlfriend to earn her marriage proposal

To which I replied:

"Reader, I married him!"

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

Even I get that joke. Come on!

Wait, there are people who DON'T love a "Reader, I married him!" joke? I don't want to know those people.

"Reader, I married him!"

How can you not love a "Reader, I married him!" reference.

You know, somedays I get kind of depressed that I feel permanently single. Then I read about people like the 300 sandwiches couple and I swear I will never date again. Jesus Christ, I would set that guy on fire.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Work this week sucks. I'm still sick, am trying to finish designing and submitting the spring bulb order, and I can't get anything done. Why? Because as awesome as I find new boss lady, she's a fucking storyteller. I think I've probably lost two or three hours to listening to her ramble about lectures she's attended and other garden's philosophies.

And if I was healthy, I'd just compensate by working late, but I am still so rundown that I can barely work a full 8 hour day, let alone quickly, because I'm just really not all here yet. And I also feel like a jerk because I can't spare time for the intern other than "go do that".
