Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hmpf. Probably any white male I could find to back me up in this protest would be unpleasant company. Of course, he would hypothetically have all the guns. My only weapons are an iron skillet, a bayonet, and an Iron Man action figure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Um, Zen, for what it's worth, you could probably go to a wildlife refuge for the quiet without an armed takeover. Just putting that out there?

Hope surgery is going well, Dana!

Is that even legal?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

New author ridiculousness:

Me: Please provide these data, with the numbers expressed to 2 decimal places PER JOURNAL POLICY.
Author: Do you really want these data?
Me: [looks into the camera like I'm on The Office]

(For real, that is the author's response verbatim.)

I now have to email the author back and say the equivalent of "When I requested those data, I WAS NOT KIDDING, YOU ASS. The fact that I requested the data should have clued you in to the fact that I NEED THE DATA." But, you know, more polite.

brillig

I don't suppose you can phrase it "I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Connie FTW.

Have the last couple of weeks turned into an unplanned diet for anyone else? I'm wishing I'd worn a belt today.

Only the eating-my-feelings diet.

Pretty sure I've eaten more candy in the last couple of weeks than in the previous ten years put together.

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

I have been eating a lot of candy.

For one thing, I found two bags of Halloween candy in the back of a cupboard that I probably bought on sale after Halloween 2015 and forgot about. They'd been through the heat of the summer and gotten all crumbly, so I stuck it in ziploc bags and tempered it with the sous vide process and somehow sampling to make sure it came out okay turned into eating all of it.
