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

Go, Laura, how exciting!

I didn't even know you had a nemesis, Jesse. Also exciting!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Oh, Steph, what is this and where did you get it?

It's this one (which I did in fact get from Amazon): [link]

Oh, hey, remember Dr. Special Snowflake from like two weeks ago who wanted his erratum to call out the names of the people who'd messed up on his paper? He's still being a nasty butthole.

What an ASS. (But also, your boss needs to be the one to tell him how it's going to be and that he needs to shut the fuck up about it. It's WAY uncool that's she's refusing to deal with him.)

Oh, wait, maybe that is the same as what I got Jadzia. Except I got on with a hood/cover/lid because she likes to be inside things. Maybe it is plugged in somewhere...

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Yay, HR on the nemesis case.

Get a life, Dr. Special Snowflake.

You got this, Sheryl.

Got woken up at 2am thanks to a crazy storm blowing over the area - crazy thunder and at least one lightening strike that seemed to be directly above us. Now I'm feeling completely sleep deprived.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Self, stop reading the comments on articles about New Orleans. Yes, even the ones on NPR. Possibly especially the ones on NPR.

There be dragons.

It is known.

Only, what, two more weeks of 10-year anniversary coverage?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Had a bit of a scare today, my mom went to the ER with dizziness, light-headedness, and nausea. Tests couldn't find anything wrong so she's back home now, feeling somewhat better.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I just got a call from a friend who said she had gotten a panicked Facebook message from a friend of mine, R, wondering if I was okay. I haven't gotten a Facebook, phone or any other kind of message from R in months, and I haven't disappeared from Facebook, so WTF? He's been known in the past to leave a couple of phone messages for me and decide something had happened to me, without remembering that his phone was probably out of minutes, out of charge or lost. Then he calls friends of mine he barely knows and panics them. It's like he only remembers I exist every six months or so, and then thinks I should instantly appear. We used to be friends, but now it seems he only remembers I exist when he wants something.

Sorry. I had to rant somewhere.
