Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Things have gone delightfully pear-shaped at work (for a kind of delight experienced by the villain of the piece) and given I am leaving in 5.5 hrs for 2.5 weeks, there is nothing I can do about it.

There's something sort of restful in reaching the point where all you can say is, "Yep. It's screwed." No more running or shouting to be done. I hope your 2.5 weeks off are enjoyable.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I slept horribly and a crazy driver did his best to kill me on the freeway this morning. I hope he breaks a shoelace at a really inconvenient time.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I had someone nearly run me down this morning as I was crossing the street ... guess he thought that red octagonal sign didn't apply to him ....

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

The stop signs with white around the edges are optional.

That's kind of awesome. :)

I woke up with a headache, and am feeling very emotionally blah. Probably just due to the headache, but dang.

I keep reading through my inbox and muttering about my murderous intentions.

I think I've Adulted myself into a place where I've accomplished a giant list of tasks, and now all I have to think about is how my job situation is in limbo. God damn it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was doing so well this morning, and now I'm with you guys on the cranky rage bench. Ah well.

'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 thought I'd knock off early and get to Whole Foods to wait for my Instacart shift, but i forgot the shift doesn't start until 1, and there's not really enough time to go home.
