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.

'Underneath'

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

The waiting is making me nuts!

Sister! I still don't know if I have have it--waiting on their reaction to my drug test results is making me want to smash my head into a wall. And there are always more questions?

I also need to arrange health insurance, because the position doesn't come with any and COBRA expires this month.

All this for a year contract...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hi, zuisa! I remember you! I was talking to someone the other day about Harbin and thought about you. Good to see your pixels again!

Once a Buffista, always a Buffista. It may not be a coincidence that our board initials work out to Borg.

Oh, yes, that does suck. After a point I think that people would be better off just hiring someone (ideally you and me) and moving on. If it doesn't work out, then in most situations you can just hire someone else. I picture people sitting in an office comparing comma placement in various cover letters for days and days while the job continues to go unfilled. And then complaining about how there's just so much work that needs doing. OK, that's probably not what's happening. But my mind is cynical and tending toward a dim view of non-b.org humanity.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good job luck, you guys!!

Theo, were you at the Kennedy? I know an 8th grader there! His name is Chet.

So, sometimes it does pay to be chatty, which I am not usually. After I told the cashier at Chipotle I don't need a bag, I said it was because I just work around the corner, and come to find out, the cashier is my grandboss's daughter! Hilarious.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hi zuisa! I remember you, it's nice to see you again.

Test~ma, Anne!

Solid offer~ma Calli and ita

Oh, I forgot to report that I got my eclipse viewers yesterday. Not that I will see the sun for a while, but I'm ready.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I didn't see any Chets, but there was a 'Dhienyffer' (pronounced Jennifer). But then I was at the Winter Hill school, not Kennedy.

That's pretty chatty, Jesse! Also, I think you should find a new job and the hit on your work boyfriend. Who cares about inappropriate?

Welcome back, zuisa! If you're still doing cruises you must have been EVERYWHERE by now, wow!

Flea, if it helps any, the other day I had this crazy nightmare that I was hard core stalking Neil Patrick Harris. Like, moved into his building and was spying on him and eventually killed his husband or something??? It was so weird. The whole time I was like "no, stop!" But in the dream kept doing awful things. IRL, he's cool, but I feel zero need to stalk him.

It is too early for me to be so over today. But I am. I don't even know why, really, it's just enough with the poodles already or something.

Ah. I do not know anyone there!

Y'all are weird in your dreams.

The other day I dreamt that I actually cleaned out my garage and could park in there again. It was a sad realization that that was only a dream.
