No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Can someone please get to sacrificing the virgin already? Trying to appease a Christian deity hasn't worked, so I'm ready to try the Greek and Roman ones.

Smash Anya's goddamn amulet already.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, boo, I just realized that my grocery order as delivered definitely didn't contain any matzo. I knew it was a longshot but I was hoping. Oh well, I have some matzo meal from last year or maybe the year before still...

Last I was at the store, there was a ton of matzo, so I could mail some to you?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I don't know if I actually can, though--the whole thing is purely guesswork at this point, a thing that they think might work based on other things that have worked in the past for different conditions. I still want to do it, but there's no guarantee it'll help for this, and so far my doctor isn't responding to any query about it at all.

But you have antibodies and you believe in both science and helping others so the opportunity is there. Nothing is guaranteed but no one can work with antibodies until there are people who recover.

I already felt pretty convinced that this whole mortality business was bullshit, but now even more so.

It truly is. I'm sorry you are faced with it right now.

Be glad there is paperwork. That saved me when my Mom died in June. I mean, her Advanced Directive wasn't needed but her Living Will was a gift I can never thank her enough for leaving to me.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Ooh, that too. Whatever gets us out of Pylea.

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

That would be amazing, Jesse. I don't know if it's practical, but amazing.

I'm partial to the whole sacrifice the king concept, personally

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Twitter tells me that Stephen Miller has the virus, which I desperately hope is true. Because HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.

I wasn't necessarily going to go the store tomorrow, but I could, for sure.

I remembered there's another grocery store I could try, so I've ordered and we'll see what I get on Tuesday

So I decided that ordering food/cocjtails/whatever for dinner was too hard and I'll jusr have cheese and crackers and the last of last Friday's wine, which is oxidized or what-have-you but I remembered that orange soda thing, which I don't have, but I do have some Weight Watcher's Cosmopolitan Mixer, so I thought I'd try adding a little of that, and then also some lime juice because why not and it's not bad

Aw, the Stephen Miller thing isn't true. For a minute, I thought there really was a god.
