Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Punishingly Intricate

My new favorite thing to yell (mostly in my head) to speeders is “what? are you late for the Dick Convention? Are you the keynote speaker?”

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Oh my god, I am stealing that!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Mostly I yell, "YOU HAVE A RED LIGHT" as a point at the red light they have.

Omg y’all. 2 people who accepted job offers, 1 to start Monday and 1 to start in 2 weeks both just withdrew their accepted offers within 5 minutes of each other. WTF?!?!

Oh noooooo.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I came across this in some comments (yes, there are places where I read the comments):

I actually think the Barbie movie looks amazing. I can’t wait to take an edible and see it.

Oh no boo quitting before they start! I guess better than quitting after a week or two but still.

Took my second dose of mystery study drug today—definitely felt like it was wearing off the last day or two. Fingers crossed no migraine later/tomorrow.

Fingers crossed, meara.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Every time some dude roars past me in an expensive car, zooming around lanes and not using turn signals, I think, "Sorry about your dick, dude." It's not even intentional anymore.

I decided to have a pint of Guinness with lunch because I like to live dangerously in a very mild way and that turned into two 22 oz pours because that is what happens when you sit at the bar and now I would really like to nap and not work any more. These forecasts will not analyze themselves, alas.

ETA that's a 175% increase in actual beer consumption vs forecast, ftr. Not great for my accuracy stats.
