Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

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

Now I want a sock golem.

Seems like it ought to be pretty simple to make. Sew up like a sock monkey, scroll in head and Bob's your uncle, right?

Also, woohoo I am finally getting Finance related tasks! Still pretty basic, but basic finance is better than basic accounting (as basic accounting pretty much being a file clerk while basic finance is at least preparing reports and doing a tiny bit of analysis)

All we need is the co-operative Rabbi trained in the appropriate Qabbalistic traditions.

edit: A dear old Rabbi was forever losing his socks, so he created a sock golem to help. "Please find the missing socks," he wrote on the scroll, tucked it into the balled up toe that made up the head, then carefully embroidered the proper symbol on its forehead. The button eyes lit up, and off the golem trundled, looking for the missing socks.

Of course, as these things always go, the golem didn't stop with the Rabbi's missing socks. Soon he was going off into the night, searching for socks out on their own, unpaired, separated and lonely.

So tell your socks to stick close together and not to go wandering off on their own. The sock golem may see them and think they're lost, and he'll take them home to keep them safe.

From across the cubicle wall, one of the guy co-workers: "Look at this Tupperware. It is the boose-ist Tupperware."

Whoa. The mailing address for City of Vallejo is in San Francisco. My mind is blown.

I noticed in the nick of time that the Threadless sale ends at 5PM CST, so in 8 minutes. Three t-shirts ordered for my brother.

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

Timelies all!

No plans for tomorrow, but Sunday Mr. S is having a playdate with the daughter of two of our friends.

My hair hurts. There's weather coming and I'm pretty sure that's what causing this.
