We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

But who would play shrift? Stephanie Beatriz?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Works for me.

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

I want that Buff Dive re-enacted by Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher.

Yes, please. And I'm down for smonster's additional casting.

This stupid report is eating my brain. Argh.

So Caper is in the driveway pounding the pottery she made at camp into dust with a giant hammer. She refused my offer of safety glasses.

Almost-teenagerdom is so fun.

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

Sparky,

Actually, my husband sent those forms to the nanny agency we filled out an application for. Waiting to hear back from them.

That seems like a pretty normal thing to expect of a nanny agency.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm editing an article about the effects on the mortality rate after a Dept. of Defense mandate that severe casualties in combat need to be transported to a medical facility in 60 minutes or less. It's pretty interesting, but the "60 minutes or less" part keeps making me mentally add "...or it's FREE!" every single time I read it (and it's in the paper a LOT).

Not 60 minutes or fewer?

I am ready to just go to bed, but that is probably not the best way to handle my Thursday. I should go for a walk while the weather isn't terrible. I really should mow the lawn, but I don't think I can talk myself into that.

Things I say to my dog way more often than makes sense:
"That's a good point"
"We talked about this."
"You make a strong argument"

Not really, because "60 minutes" is being referred to more as one vague clump of time t insert appropriate Doctor Who quote here rather than as 60 individual minutes. It's not exactly like the express lane at the grocery.

brillig

What is the rationale for saying "60 minutes" as opposed to "an hour"? 60 minutes sounds shorter? Less monolithic than "an hour"?
