In random work news, I had a conversation today with someone who was AWESOME, and I'm still thinking about it! Too bad what she was telling me wasn't helping me with my work, but it was super interesting.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

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?
One class down...5 to go. I really just want to go home and go to sleep now, please.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Vroman's is booked through December, so I need to figure out where to have a book release event. For some reason, I am mentally unable to figure out what to do.
I'm also terrified that even if I do figure out what to do, no one will come.
Remember when I used to be good at this shit? Remember? What happened?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I had a macro-nap. I have to go to work tomorrow, so I hope I start feeling better soon.

My friends on Facebook are posting about a tornado in Brooklyn? WTFF?!
I meant to say, my Facebook was blowing up with this as well. Damn hipster tornados.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Hodgman was funny about the tornado on twitter:
I know other cities have "tornados". But you really haven't had one til you've had an AUTHENTIC Brooklyn tornado.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A tornado tore through metro Detroit when I lived there. It was very freaky.

That's especially funny because I'm hearing it in Hodgman's voice.
