Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Cool, thanks!

Ooh pastrami sandwich sounds nice. I need to go grocery shopping.

The community garden sounds so nice! We have them here called “P-patches” which I always thought was pea patches but I googled and it’s named after a family whose name started with P!

That's a nice sort of immortality (or longevity or whatever)

There are a lot of recent/potential technological developments that I'm not necessarily totally happy about, but paying for chips and soda out of the vending machine with my watch still gives me a little thrill. Douglas Adams was absolutely talking about me

OK, I got a little distracted by the footage of my senator getting manhandled and handcuffed, but, um, have pastrami sandwich now and it is indeed good

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Awesome. The country is ending. My uncle with cancer just died (not unexpected). The A/C in my goddamn new house already needs to be replaced and it's 79 degrees inside. This has not been my best week.

Oh no, Dana! I was sure having a brand new house would give you a break from things like that for a while. Argh. And sorry about your uncle.

Punishingly Intricate

So sorry about your uncle, Dana

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry for your loss and the crap filled week, Dana.

The brand new house A/C died? That is extremely rude.
