So I'm finally caught up. Was planning on getting caught up over the weekend, but instead spent it reading Catching Fire and Mockingjay.
Did you catch up to the part where we were missing you and wondering where you were?
The whole earth may be sucked into Hell, and you want my help 'cause your girlfriend's a big ho?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Uh-huh. Just saw that a few minutes ago.

Trying to figure out who you could put in a blender to get me, and I haven't come up with anything yet. But now I'll be assessing candidates as I watch my shows.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Please do not put Abed in a blender. I like him.
It would be like that scene in Nightmare on Elm Street where the bed eats Johnny Depp.
Which would be sad.
Abed, Sheldon, Moss from the IT Crowd, and BBC Sherlock Holmes are among the long list of characters that other people have informed me I in some respects resemble.
The Britta piece, that one I own. I mean, I remember being asked about Superman by Lillian and going into way too much detail about his creation and Jewish identity in the United States in the 1930s. And, umm, dropping my first F bomb in front of her about gender essentialism. It's a thing.

Good! Now go find Kathy for us.

Heh, speaking of "F" words Matilda tried to work "It was so frickin' funny" into conversation yesterday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is there a good way to send a followup email about a job? I applied before Christmas, they said they got the resume, and applicants should expect to hear back within three weeks. With the holidays in there, I wasn't too worried, but now I'm wondering if I should nudge?
Amy, assuming it's been three weeks, I'd give it one more, personally. Due to the holidays. People here are STILL slow and additionally have forgotten all of the things they promised to do in the new year...

The St. Bernard is afraid of stairs?
He's aging and losing some nerve control of his legs, so he has a hard time with stairs. He stands at the top of the steps and whines and moans, puts one foot out and pulls it back, puts another foot forward, hesitates, and so forth. Swear to jebuslug, it takes him like 10 minutes to work up the courage to go down the stairs.
Which is why I mostly keep him confined downstairs now: he can get out to the backyard easier and that's where my bedroom is.
JenP: my sister & BIL come back Sunday night. So only 4 more days.

That sounds like a lot to me.
Of course, you kind of have to consider the source on that one.
