No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm not an obsessive Apple follower (no, really) so I was a little surprised when Tim Cook came out. Was that widely known?

People: today is National Candy Corn Day.

We must celebrate accordingly.

Stick them on our teeth and pretend we have fangs?

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

Fucking hell. Fatal police shooting in my little city last night.

Art Crawl!!!

Teppy, yes: I believe that is the deeply traditional way to celebrate National Candy Corn Day.

Woot! I don't really like eating candy corn, but I sure love making them into fangs.

It will be the best day when people don't feel that have to talk about their sexuality in interviews. Also, didn't have any notion one way or the other. I don't really follow Apple either. Although I think they have some cool stuff.

Candy Corn fangs! Woo! I need to get me some of those.

I do follow Apple, and I thought that it was a pretty open secret at this point.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yeah, there was a thing a few months ago where some other high-ranking corporate type came out, and people on CNN (MSNBC? One of those) were talking about it, and started saying, "Are there any other out CEOs?" and one of the guys said, "Well, Tim Cook at Apple," and then there was an awkward pause, and one of the other people informed him, "Um, he's not publicly out," and the first guy was like, "Really? Everyone doesn't know that? Oops."

I don't follow Apple and I didn't know and really don't care.

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

So after seeing the NT Frankenstein last night, I really wish I had seen it earlier, so I could have seen both versions. Because there is no way I could have seen both in a week -- too intense.

My friend K. and I saw them for the first time back-to-back (subsequent nights). Talk about intense. We were barely verbal after the second one. I'm still trying to decide if I want to see the "other" one (i.e., the version I didn't just see last week) tomorrow. It's playing downtown, and I'm not sure I'm up for the Halloween crowd on the Downtown Mall.
