As people were saying earlier, there's only one hard-and-fast rule for dealing with an attacker: never get in his car. No good ever comes from getting in the car.
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

Woot! The provost just closed the university tomorrow and Saturday! Snow day!
oh, man! No word here yet. Interesting that the Provost makes that call. Here it's the President. But, you can bet your ass that 1. I will be checking my iPhone before I get out of bed tomorrow and 2. I will be wearing jeans and boots tomorrow.
I'm also walking to work to avoid having to deal with our 45 degree driveway.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Damn, that's a stat I can't remember. The incidence of violence goes way up when you move to a secondary location. That's why the penalty for the crime goes way up if the perpetrator moves you during a robbery. But I don't remember the distance or the increase in maximum sentence.
Masseuse friend I haven't seen in forever will fit me in for a massage next week. Yay.
God, I'm blanking on SQL. I just want to go home and nurse this migraine. Maybe drink some Ting. Watch some soopernatural.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Meh. I have this stupid congestion/coldish thing. My nose is sore from blowing/wiping it so much. Ugh.

Co-worker just prairiedogged. He says it's a real term. I think it sounds like pron. I much prefer meerkatted. Of course, said co-worker told another one to "just suck on it" (in reference to chocolate, quite innocently) and seemed quite pron-deaf when other co-worker tried ragging him on it.
Hmm. Actually, all in favour of work pron-deafness. But mostly I favour pron-interpretation-avoidance.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Co-worker just prairiedogged. He says it's a real term.
I've heard that term ages ago. Like in pre-mass-adoptance-of-internet days....
Is adoptance a word?
eta: Perhaps I read "prairiedogging" in a Douglas Coupland book?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Prairiedogging is definitely a real term. And not at all dirty.
Unless you have a dirty mind.

Imma stick with meerkatting. Also I'm going to recommend he just not do it, because it freaks me out. He's very quick and silent.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I like meerkating more too.
