Yes! Love her! I need to get the new one.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I called a guy out recently on repeatedly using queue as a verb. It was really weird coming from someone with an American accent. He said he'd lived in Amsterdam for a couple months. Which explained...nothing.

OK, new tropical storm forming off Africa. Name is Igor. Such a name brimming with good omens.
If NC has to get hit with a hurricane this year, I hope it's named "Igor." Hurricane Fran caused problems, but the name suggested sassy waitress more than 37 deaths and millions of dollars worth of damage.

Dude, I just found my department $5000+/month of money they had not gotten re-imbursed for since January. That more than covers their costs for keeping me on as a consultant.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I'm in my 3rd week. My nieces/nephews are already in their 5th week of school.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
L'shana tovah! [link] And a sweet, healthy, and peaceful year to everyone, whenever you happen to celebrate its beginning.

I think Lippman's stories are better than her novels,but I like both, considering she has many things that I want and is therefore a life-stealing heffa who deserves to die. But I appreciate her talent and I hope, if she ever finds my latest story anywhere, she finds it an homage rather than me ripping her off.
