Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

TJs has gluten-free pumpkin pancake mix right now.

It had better be in Ohio. (In fact, we're going to TJs on Saturday.) If it is, allow this GIF to express my reaction: [link]

not your mom's socks.

Happy belated birthday, Lee!

Allyson, I know this is late. I hope it is useful. We've never met in person, but you have been right on the internet for so many years. The things you say and do are wise and done with your whole heart. I am so glad to know you invisibly.

Proof I needed a nap: I ate half my lunch before falling asleep beside it. Or else I am three years old.

'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"

He still hasn't called back, but I have faith. In the meantime, I'm reviewing all the JS and jQuery I can get my hands on.

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

If they don't have it in Ohio I can hook you up.

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

Do I want to go see John Mellencamp next July? I think I might. Hm.

ETA: well, I remembered how to log in to ticketmaster, so I guess I'm going.

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

Well, I talked 3/4 through a subsequent slide before bringing it up, but otherwise I think things went pretty well at my presentation. I should know in two weeks.

Hey, you clearly weren't reading the slide, then. So that's good.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

How long is the sore muscle supposed to last after a flu shot? It's better than it was on Tuesday, but is till a bit sore.
