No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's odd how gratifying I find the emails from Pinterest when someone repins one of my pins. It's like my existence has been validated.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Well, if not your existence, your taste at least.

So long as they don't get pinned to a board labeled "I can't believe someone likes this."

So, there's been a broiling kerfuffle about display of a confederate flag at the place I went to college, and it hit Inside Higher Ed this week. And it turns out I know one of the students displaying the confederate flag - she was in the summer seminar I teach 2 years ago. I would completely not have expected her to do such a thing, or to double down once people expressed that it was offensive to them. I am basically just full of boggle right now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes.

You guys, I am so relieved that my boss told me not to schedule a meeting on Monday. We are supposed to get Columbus Day off, but of course most of the people I'm working with are in other countries, so I figured I should suck it up. But no! I am off the hook. Phew.

If only they weren't $60. I'll have to be content with my ahemmed copies from YouTube.

Wow. Just had a breakdown with ugly crying over...I don't even know. And it won't let go. Greatful I work at home cause it burbles up without warning and won't stop.

Because books.

Aw, Suzi. Deep breaths, and maybe some tea?

Just downed a bottle of water and the tears seem to have subsided. I have karate in 30 minutes and I am going to NEED to hit things.

55 hours...it will be done. The auction will be over, money counted, and DONE.

Karate sounds like a good thing.

You guys, I have so much more work to do today, and I don't know if I have it in me. And I have lots of meetings tomorrow, including three interviews, so not much chance there, either.
