I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Happy Birthday Aurelia!

I just returned the DVD of Mary Queen of Scots to the library unwatched because I was never in the mood for it in the past two weeks. Yet somehow I find the time to watch horror movies and Marvel animation. Oh well, at least I am actually reading the story collection I checked out, so my brain's not in total spoonfed junk food mode.

Happy belated to Brenda, and I haven't seen Aurelia lately, but hope her b-day is good too. I finished off Mom's birthday cake today so I guess I am in the spirit.

OMG a musical about the large hadron collider?! Very exciting, even without the personal connection!

Relieved you have a job, Jess. Those numbers are whack

The VP who is retiring at the end of the month/week brought in some fancy sweets for the building so I am enjoying a cannoli, no gun

Well, no, of course not. It had to be left behind.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sighh.... I read "large hard-on collider" and was briefly a 12 year old boy.

Happy birthday, Aurelia!

I’m glad you dodged the ax, Jessica. 14k layoffs is nuts.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! I'm in the midst of A Christmas Carol load-in, so I'm keeping things low key this evening. Take-out sushi and finishing S2 of Slow Horses.

(I have a bunch of wishes for your city too, but you know about those)

And this is much appreciated. I haven't been teargassed yet, but there has been activity within a few blocks. I carry my whistle.
