Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Amy, yeah. We'll see what happens later tonight. Good thing I have a very relaxing yoga class at 8; I think I'll need it. And a glass of wine.

ita, the MJ suggestion is a good one, but my god, I feel so badly for you, and I wish I had superpowers, like healing powers or at least teleportation so I could blink over and help you.

I hope in the hours since you've found some healthy respite, ita.

I dislike having meetings run by people in the late afternoon who don't know how to keep it on focus or end it. I just wanted to go home...

it seems the best way to do intermittent cups of coffee.

Well, you could go low tech like I do

One cup filter

I have that for travel now that I'm a French press pot woman. Used to be my main coffee maker when I was a one cup, not 3. Ish.

So this weekend I had cleared off and decluttered my coffee table. I've now bruised/scraped both knees on its corners. Maybe I needed the clutter to notice its spacial location...

My sister-in-law makes pottery, and she made us one of those pour-over filters: [link]

not your mom's socks.

I've just read 285 posts.

Ita, I'm sending you all the good "make shit work out" vibes I can. Brenda, how's your dad's foot?

We have an aeropress that we love, but we dream about espresso fairly often.

I have absolutely zero love for a certain recruiter who practices bait-and-switch tactics on busy biochemists. Zero.

Foo. Didn't get one of the jobs I had some hopes for.

Watching last night's Sleepy Hollow and eating leftover TJ's sushi.

I'm a fan of pour-over coffee, but rarely have the time in the morning. French press and pour over are for days when I have time to putter over my coffee.
