We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Trust my rage

Also, neither my Spanish nor English dictionary recognizes comparanda.

Since OED didn't turn it up, I googled. Since most of the results are either pure latin or museum related, I'd assume it is one of those terms used heavily in a field, but nsm outside that field (like blazar in astro-also not in the OED.)

Yeah, in archaeology it's a VERY common word. Okay, I am the weirdo here, not her.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Perkins--that bag I ordered? Is very pink, and also way too large for me. So I'm going to send it back. It is, I should note, rather pink.

That sucks, Consuela, though actually it sounds about right for me, since I like pink and have a 17 inch laptop.

I got lucky though, and found the BEST EVAH travel bag at the Petaluma Wilson's leather outlet for a really good price (it has wheels, and a hideable rolling handle thingie). I love it, and have named it George.

I have now lazed around too much today and must get back to packing. Do I crack open a bottle of Sam Adams to assist?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Depends -- what other kinds of beer do you have?

I'm going completely mad waiting for a callback. Eventually I'll give up and call again, but at least I have another reason to do that.

I think any post-it that reads "Call sara" immediately loses stickiness and gets lost.

I'm getting better at living in the moment only. But it is making me insane.

That's it. I could mix up a batch of strawberry margarita though. That actually sounds more appealing right now!
