Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So the answer to "smelly cat, smelly cat, what are they feeding you?" is Meow Mix?

Apparently!

Cats have stinky poops when they eat too many carbs, in my experience with these three furlumps here.

Yeah, the prescription stuff is lower-carb, I'm sure. Like, I think one of them is venison and pea, because we thought Hazel might have an allergy? Ah well!

Oh, just things like "you're at Cafe du Monde and you get black coffee?" while noting that elsewhere she got the crawfish beignet so she's back in my good graces. This person I've never met. Who eats sushi for dinner one night and lunch the next (I wholeheartedly approve of that, btw)

I would definitely also be obsessed with living through expense reports, when you put it this way.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

At library book sale. Throw me some names of YA authors I might enjoy.

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

Most people are very boring. One guy ate at Outback every night in Las Vegas.

Huh, Robin Leach is on the Food Network. Who knew? I guess they are featuring some part of our company in an upcoming show? I'm kind of curious about that now.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Going back a bit, the bus metaphor is totally apt, and you can talk about whatever you want whenever you want.

I would absolutely judge people by their expense reports.

I'm pretty sure my Amazon prime order picker is judging me by my order, but it really was the curtain rod that I needed within two hours and not the almond milk chocolate pudding.

Ah, the old urgently-needed-curtain-rod gambit.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

No one ever accidentally puts my personal email address in as their own, but strangely it happens quite frequently with my fannish address. I just got confirmation of "my" pledge in the Doral Pebble Beach Fun Run.

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

So today I gave the biggest talk of my career so far. Had to answer questions from the faculty for 2 hours or so. Felt like I was taking my orals all over again.

On the plus side: 1) it's now over and 2) I think it went well

Oh crap, what if I get the job?

Yay!
