It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I couldn't take it again right now! And I thought it was great!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

t Frankenstein conversation! Let me jump in!

My brother similarly thought he could not do more than one in a week. I think it's really fascinating to see both (and the opening scenes at the cottage are a good bathroom break), but I'm not sure if it's AS fascinating for, well, anybody else.

So, in packing up my classroom, I've already packed 18 rubbermaid boxes, along with 25 cardboard boxes and I have not made a dent in what I have. This is a problem.

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

Ugh, that's a lot of packing.

Shrift, there are Google buses from the East Bay, where rents are cheaper and brogrammers are fewer.

Yeah, there's pretty good coverage in the Bay Area, so I'll have options.

I've got a bunch of tabs open with jobs I need to express interest in.

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

I didn't make it to Frankenstein at all, as I suspected would happen. Between baseball and just general weeknight movie going is hard that was always gonna be a challenge.
