I am amused by the fact that the brake pads were in significantly better shape than the rotors. Well, no matter. The brakes are good now, I've got good tires, I've got manual transmission, I just put on new wiper blades - I'm feeling kinda sassy about winter driving conditions.
Gabriel: Are you trying to destroy this family? Simon: I didn't realize it would be so easy.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

In other news, wow, my brother is an asshole,

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Wow, Plei. I can't believe anyone would ever speak to you that way. I'm so sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think we all need this, but perhaps especially Jesse. [link]
(Because of who her Representative is, natch.)
Hee, that took me a minute, because Ed Markey is a Senator now! And my Rep is Chris Evans's uncle.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Plei, you are more than welcome to borrow either of my brothers or my BIL should you ever feel the need for actual brotherness. He does not deserve to be your sib.

I didn't even realize Chris Evans was from MA until I saw the Super Bowl bet.

Yay flea! Yay sumi! Yay Jilli's coworkers for being right-headed thinkers!
its subset New-management-establishing-itself-by-shitting-all-over-everyone-who's-already-there
I'm experiencing this subset, where they decided to change the entire org structure and shuffle people around willy-nilly, and by willy-nilly, I mean that nobody's direct manager actually had any input. And I definitely should have started looking for something internal at least a month or two earlier when I felt the sinking sensation of "oh, this isn't going to end well."
In other news, I am trying to figure out how to get to New Orleans. You would think it would not be difficult to get to New Orleans from Chicago. Why do you want me to connect in Charlotte?! What have I ever done to you?
