Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

People substitute cauliflower for potatoes all the time -- could you use riced cauliflower for a hash?

Also, I will take all the taters that people can't eat. ALL OF THEM.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

People need to do those immunization records when they come in as students. The easiest thing is to go to a PCP and have them sign off. But the polio is always a challenge

I went to grad school in the gap between my childhood records being easily accessible and their being digitized, and ended up getting a sign-off from student health when I told them I had gone to a real college for undergrad -- they believed that I had had the records at 17 and the childhood stuff was still the same at 30!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Mine didn't and I wound up having to get a second round of MMR at age 40. (I had my titres done and came in just barely below the threshold.)

I actually started getting them re-done, but got the student health meeting in the middle of the series!

Man, I don't know the specifics, but the person in the office next to me is having a world of trouble related to, I think, her mother. She has spent lots of time yelling on the phone in the last couple of days!

I have a serious case of the Can't Evens today. I'm at my desk but NOTHING is getting done. I had one tiny burst of productivity around 10am and since then I've been staring at my to-do list and then drifting over to the browser where my personal tabs are open.

(But why, Jess, I can hear you ask, don't you just close that browser window entirely so you can focus? YES THAT IS A LEGITIMATE SUGGESTION I GUESS I JUST DON'T WANT TO OKAY)

What is even happening?

One of the ways I first diagnose myself with the Can't Evens is when I realize I Can't Even close my browser window. It's a legitimate symptom, Jess.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I thought at first you had a case of the Chris Evans.

Because books.

Plei is one who usually has a case of the Chris Evans.

I can't even today either. It's such a Friday, I just want to go home and crash.

Well, now I've got both cases!
