Hmmm, I have four places to be this weekend. If one place counts as I've invited people to come over to watch SciFi Friday with me.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'
Riley ,'Potential'
Natter 42, the Universe, and Everything
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
One of my places-to-be does involve medical treatment, so there's that.
I came into the office every single day this week. First time in a couple months, pathetically.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Someone tell me to stop reading coverage of Michael Brown's testimony, since there is nothing convenient to hit here at the office.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Whoops. CEO's assistant just forwarded to me and my boss an email from a client to CEO explaining a project we need to write up for him. And somehow neglected to delete this little gem from the closing of the email:
Don't much like being yelled at even if you consider it a virtue. m.
Ouch. Not many of his clients' who'd dare go that far even.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Dana, this probably won't help: Now Iraqi women can be STONED to DEATH for adultery! Thank BUSH!

Now Tom, nobody anticipated fudamentalist Islamists coming to power if Hussein was removed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Try this instead -- New Yorker interview with a fortune cookie writer (from last year):
At first, the writing came easily. Finding inspiration in sources ranging from the I Ching to the Post, Lau cranked out three or four maxims a day, between scrutinizing spreadsheets and monitoring the company’s inventory of chow mein. “I’d be on the subway and look up at the signs and think, Hey, that would make a great fortune,” he said. (One such adage: “Beware of odors from unfamiliar sources.”)
