Oh Jesse, I keep meaning to send you an email. No need to get into details here, but it's for someone I know who is looking for "contacts"
Tell me more good stuff about me.

not your mom's socks.
Brenda, that sounds like an excellent karma.
I am home, everything hurts, and we are facing a week of stress personal and professional. But at least there is candy.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Yay, candy! Boo hiss stress.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Hey, it's a Monday. I just got an email from an author that says "I have finished reviewing the file and answering your questions, but I want to know why the title was changed. Was it because of journal requirements? I will not return my article until you tell me why."
Is that...academic blackmail? (And, more to the point, does he actually think we give a shit? Oh my god.) So I had to come up with a diplomatic way to say "Dear author, 'When Cannabis Strikes the Retina' [that was seriously the title] is in no way a scientific title that reflects the content of the article and if I left the title as is, senior management would have come down on me like a ton of bricks and by the way, you are not as clever as you think."

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
YAY CUBBIES!
Win or lose in Cleveland , I'm very glad I didn't have to watch the Indians celebrate at Wrigley.
As amazing as all the shots of the crowds throughout Wrigleyville are, I feel bad for all the cops and other emergency personnel having to pull extra duty these last few weeks. I've got a friend who is Chicago PD and the whole department is on 12 hour shifts with no days off until the Series is over. He works the South Side so he's not even directly dealing with the madness.
My brother just texted me a picture from Wrigley. And the camera showed John Cusack in the stands, hah!
I feel like I'm part of the right fandom when I've got Cusack, Bill Murray and Eddie Vedder on my side. Lots of celebrities at the games (including John Hamm trolling us in a Cardinals hat) not counting the random Fox TV stars that "coincidentally" give the announcers a chance to plug their shows.

Steph, I don't suppose you have the authority to send a "We're sorry to hear you have withdrawn your article. We hope to work with you at a future date." email to the writer?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Oh, Steph, he won't return the article? Whatever shall you do?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
John Hamm trolling us in a Cardinals hat
That was amazing. I'm nowhere near a Cards fan, but the level of dedication it takes to troll like that is great.

I wish I could, but I am at the bottom of the ladder of authority.
