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

I could do Singha (or someplace else) tonight or tomorrow! I'm heading to Michigan on Friday directly after work.

Singha tonight would be great!

Shrift and aurelia, I'm booked tonight and tomorrow night. But am hoping to get together with Abi next Friday if either of you are around.

I might be available. Hard to say at the moment.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

If someone made single serving meat loaf and called it a meat muffin I would probably eat it. I like meat loaf, but it's not something to make when you're cooking just for yourself.

I had a Jimmy John's BLT and a banana berry smoothie for lunch.

Because books.

Between the FCM and the meat muffins, this thread has a lot of glorious wrong in it this morning.

Taco Bell is a local company for me. They started in Southern California. I still remember when none of them had dining rooms and they had pronunciation keys under all the menu items. I also still miss the Bellbeefer, even if it was an abomination.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Aw. We had a company meeting, and our CEO was discussing our upcoming acquisition and comparing it to a marriage, and in describing the moment when the deal would be finally approved, he said, "We're all waiting for the 'I now pronounce you'"—and there was a short pause as he, and I, suddenly realized the heteronormativity of that common phrase—"'man and man, or man and wife, or wife and wife,' or however you want to do it."

Also, I asked the final question, and he said I made an "astute observation." Everyone heard him! He told the whole company I made an astute observation! I am awesome!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

God, the comments section of the Times-Picayune is possibly the most depressing place on the web.

hip deep in pie

They guy who sits on the other side of the wall from me contracted HiNi this weekend and is at work today. If I get the contagion, shrift has to put him on the list for a mind-controlled groin-kicking.

Step away from the comments, Dana. It will only end badly.

I may have to seize the cat.

"We're all waiting for the 'I now pronounce you'"—and there was a short pause as he, and I, suddenly realized the heteronormativity of that common phrase—"'man and man, or man and wife, or wife and wife,' or however you want to do it."

I think in our ceremony the text was something like "I now pronounce that you are married." We cribbed from Quaker and Humanist stuff.
