My friends in Brooklyn just named their newborn Calvin.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
It sounds like a lovely day, Consuela!
I have a memory tickling my mind of a winemaker telling me something they made out of the grape skins that were leftover. It wasn't raisins. I don't think it was even food. Soap?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My fingers are crossed for you, Amy.
Man, I just tried to sell someone on my tablet without showing them stuff on my tablet, if you know whaddi mean...I think it worked, but thank damn he didn't want to go into one of the art apps right now.

Because books.
Yeah, I just got laid off, with the provision that I can write for them as much as I want. We'll see how this works out.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, ick, Amy. Fingers crossed that this just means the end of a bad job and the beginning of something good.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Oh, Amy. I'm sorry. I hope this means that something better is right around the corner for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, Amy! Suck. Good luck.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Shit, Amy! Bad ex-bosses, you suck.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Sorry, Amy--but hope it's a first step to a much better job.
