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

I still have that cassette.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'll suggest he write stuff down to refer to when he calls me at home after work hours.

Does he text? That would be a good solution.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Being home sick means that I'm watching a lot of Animal Planet, which means seeing the "We will prove that Sasquatch is real!" commercial approximately six thousand times.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Perhaps they're trying to attain consensual reality, Dana?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

A student just emailed me, half an hour before the final exam starts, to ask what room it's in.

Better than a half hour into it?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There's a whole season of a show called "Finding Bigfoot."

This is why I only watch Animal Planet during the day..

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Good call. "Because, you know, we're really not supposed to take personal calls during the work day...."

I had to draw a line with my sister, and explain that "you can call me any time" meant if it was an emergency, and not to discuss the finer points of laser hair removal (for real that convo happened at work). This was years ago, and she gets it now.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'll admit to doing similar things. Either I'm convinced something is in X room and discover I was wrong when I get there, or I'm sure I have the location written on something I'm taking with me, except when I get there, my note has disappeared.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

The Man is responsible for so much nastiness. I say it's only fair to use him for a good excuse now and then. He can bear the extra guilt.
