I'm so sorry, Nilly!
Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…

Wine aerators make wine taste worse
Bzuh? I just got one of those for my birthday! Haven't even used it yet...
And I suspect that the wines I drink it won't make much difference--I'll use it for my $7 Tuesday night bottle from TJ's, not a $30 Pinot Noir.

I'm here, msbelle! And I will follow up on your email--things have been ultra crazy these past few days, but are finally looking up.
But, I'm sorry to hear about your job! That so sucks, especially because you're super-cool and totally employable. Don't let the mind-worms that eat away at your confidence get to you.
And all of yesterday's talk of Victorian clothes made me think of the scene in Louisa May Alcott's Eight Cousins, when Rose is dressed up by her fashionable aunt. Alcott goes into excruciating detail on all the horrendousness that is her "trendy" outfit, from the mismatched patterns of the fabric to the heels and tight skirt that combine to make her totter and the veil that makes her see spots. It's very hilarious to read.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Teppy, my father had similar concerns, but it appears that the critter in question is killed by saline and/or by water being something like 150 degrees. So, if they're right about the method of infection, it means that the people in question were using tepid, unsalinated tap water, which, IME, is wicked uncomfortable.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't have an aerator, but i have got to use the term "Jezebelian fruit" at some point. I can't imagine what it means, but it's great. Consuela, you should do a taste test with cheap wines see if you get the same results

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wine aerators make wine taste worse:
Why do I want to get into an argument on the Hairpin about that article SO BAD??
I just need one more meeting this week to get cancelled (which is likely), and I am free! Aside from my weekly with my boss.

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

Yes. Sorry.
OMG, I don't want to do any work! And the two things left on my main to-do list are waiting on other people. Maybe I will put on music and file some emails?

Did you guys know that the CDC has Zombie Task Force t-shirts and not tell me?
Dammit! I'd totally have bought that for the b-i-l, but I already got him a thinkgeek shirt.

I don't want to do work either! And yet I'm working all this week, and have a lot of the "stuff I don't like to do and always put off" (filing, writing up reports of my emails and telephone contacts, etc) to do this week. Sigh. I was really hoping I would have accepted a new job and just be all "La la let me get this done and never do it again"...
