Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Oh, sarameg, that sounds great!

Toasted marshmallow is all I had! I'm out of Bailey's and cream and I don't think I ever have brandy lying around.

I am already weighing the joy of taking myself out of a chili omelet in the morning vs stealing that extra half hour of sleep and maybe getting taco bell for breakfast. It's a tough call.

That sounds like an amazing bar, shrift.

Amusingly, tonight I got dragged to a karaoke bar in the East Village that was kind of like a dungeon, or a peep show as I've seen them on procedural television. The beer started out decent, but I switched to water once they started bringing in Budweiser. I did some shots of terrible whiskey, but I won't even drink Bud for free. I was pressured to sing, but I noped out of that.

I'm exhausted, I have an all day meeting tomorrow, and I am swamped with work.

I haven't interviewed for 6+ years. What questions should I ask the recruiter before my interview for the Dublin position on Thursday?

Ask about moving assistance? Or help in settling in? I mean, you don't want to ask the company that, it's a bit presumptuous, but the recruiter may know.

Now I want toasted marshmallows and hot chocolate. Mmm. Instead I will chew the gum I walked to 7-11 to get because I thought I had some in the house but didn't. But 7-11 didn't have cinnamon gum!! I chew my crazy fruit gum resentfully.

Jane the virgin was very I teredti g this week Consuela--just watched it an hour ago!!

Gum! I keep forgetting to bring my gum to work and then wish I had it once I'm there. I'll put it in my purse right now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It'd be a lot better if we didn't have all those 5150s in the ER.

This is more impressive when you know what a 5150 is, which I made JZ explain to me.

It's a violent person in the ER that needs to be physically restrained and put into involuntary psych care.

So this guard had 22 in 24 hours.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So, apparently, this is just a WEEK for everyone, everywhere.

I am far less filled with undirected rage today than I was yesterday, so at least it's getting g a little better?

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

Oh, man, that's unbelievable.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yay Amy!

Also yay snow boots! I think both pairs are cute. I own none of course, but that's just to be expected.

And yipes, JZ! That's a bad week.

So we are watching one of those dubious reality shows on tv called Amish Mafia. I am transfixed.

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

Completely dubious. As in all fake. One of the cast members was jailed for a bit. Car chase that happened in the town where the restaurant is located. He spent a few months as a citizen of the Perry County Jail.
