Josh Charles usually knows the right thing to say.
What? She killed 'em with mathematics. What else could it have been?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
The porn GIF trollers have apparently a) shut down comments at gawker, at least temporarily b) expanded to kotaku and io9 and c) shut down image uploads at io9, at least temporarily.
Some people have way too much asshole in them.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Very sad news about Robin Williams. I hadn't had much use for his movies in a long time, but I used to love his stand-up, and there are several of his older films of his I'm very fond of. That and the occasional serious supporting role like in DEAD AGAIN or THE SECRET AGENT.

The standout for me is the guest appearance he did as a bereaved parent on Homicide.

Meh. Water in the basement. I'll deal with it tonight. I guess if the long term lots at BWI are flooded, shouldn't be surprised.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Yeah, that made me start sniffling.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why is everyone so quiet today? I can't think of any conversation to start, but I'm bored. It's quiet here, it's quiet over at the gawker network if you want to converse (image uploading has been disabled, but apparently the bad guys have found a way around it).
I think I've found the Gustav Dore work I was looking for--Orlando Furioso. Problem is, I can't find a single source for a lot of them, so one at a time it is.
I said bored, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just went to a going-away party, had some prosecco, and now I'm supposed to be finishing my self-evaluation. Good times.

I sent a "Hallooo!" email to the UCLA position first thing this morning. Haven't heard anything back--I hope I phrased it diplomatically (asking about alternatives for documentation) enough.

Part of the upheavals that preceded me being let go involved interesting changes to the employee handbook, including "no drinking during the work day." When we finished the project I'd been originally contracted to work on, the entire company got 1-2 glasses of fizzy wine per employee.
They also instituted a no-fraternisation policy, which upset my mother and sister, since they had some plans for me. Does anyone here work somewhere with no-frat? Like, across the entire company, not just within the reporting structure? They made a lot of changes since our purchase. I didn't really keep in touch with anyone, but I would love a good heaping plate of gossip.
Unrelatedly, I just hit this picture in my Dore downloads. The picture doesn't have the technique I'm looking for, but isn't it mesmerising? It's both flat and 3D at the same time. I can't stop staring.
