I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Mentioning the Hyatt to anyone of a certain age in KC still gets highly freaked out "I remember where I was..." reactions. It was such a horrible thing...and so preventable.

That company went bankrupt, didn't it, Aurelia? Which high school?

And yeah, PA's character IS pretty humorless. And I wish we had more background on how long she's been psychic; it seems like when her kids have events, we'd hear about her childhood, you know?

But her husband? I think he's hot. It seems to me he must be Austrailian, or else he's got a hella weird American accent.

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

Which high school?

Ruskin. The company probably did go bankrupt from all the lawsuits.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Jake "Mr. Yummy" Weber. He was born in England. Very good stage actor.

I keep looking for evidence that he's Dustin Hoffman's love child (it's the voice and the nose). I think I discovered that he was born in England, and that he attended college in the US. I have no info on his location during the intervening years.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Co-worker and I just snarked so hard we drew an audience. He'll pay for calling me grandma, the whippersnapper, and he'll darned well learn how to pronounce my name right.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

ok, I made guesses for the resume. To the best of my memory, I am not lying.

ION, said resume now submitted for actual positions with actual people. crossing fingers and toes that I at least get interview experience out of this first wave.

I think I completed 80-90% of my to-do lists today so I should go home soon.

Yes! Before you hit 100%, or .. or ... wait, what happens when one does everything on one's to do list?

English! Ok, that fits too. I have to IMDB him; I KNOW I've seen him elsewhere...

EDIT: He's been in lots, but what I remember (god knows why) is "Meet Joe Black."

I will not complete 100% as two of the tasks require developing plans from scratch and I have no energy to do that.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I had to laugh at the pendulum experiment in the last ep, though. That so would not work. I suspect there is a combination of actual math/science and lots of hand-waving.

Yeah, I looked askance at that bit myself. I like the show a lot, and I think the actors are great. I worry that they're going to run out of math solvable crimes, though.
