Yay Polgara!
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Polgara is a superhero!
We went to a magic show that one of the students at my school in NoHo hosted as a fundraiser for the soccer team. The twins loved it. The kid who performed is surprisingly good. This is one of the pieces he performed though this one is taped from the Magic Castle. [link]

Kat, I am so glad about your new school. It looks really interesting to me. You know my education history

Word (tweet?) apparently got out to a flock of house sparrows that I have food. There are probably 30+ mobbing my deck. Plus clumsy doves.

They are nicer to each other than the doves.
JFC, testing just ran into major performance issues. This is a major redesign and we're pushing up against some hard deadlines and… I can't even.

Are you absolutely certain your job isn't actually a hidden camera reality show or possibly a sociological experiment?

It's a bunch of software engineers and astronomers trying to work together, it's totally a twisted sociological experiment!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I am waiting for my boss to respond to my self-evaluation, which I turned in late (with her permission, which she's now apparently forgotten that she gave).

I've got my first college-application tutoring today, even after I pointed out that my most-relevant qualification for this is that I once wrote an application that got me into a college. (Yeah, the journalism classes and professional writing helps too, but really.)
Could be anywhere from "Help! I have no ideas for this essay!" to "Help me render my gripping and emotional essay into grammatical English" to "I can't figure out how to scan this letter of recommendation and upload it onto the college website."
