Flip side, though, capris are allowed across the board, explicitly for men as well as women, so that tickles and pleases me. I wish I only thought anyone would take advantage of that.

Ask Darren Criss to come sing at a company function? I imagine he has a closet full of them.

In re the miniature embroidery you can wear (sumi?) - I was watching a "Craft in America" show focusing on families with two or more generations involved in art and/or craft. One of them was a daughter of a man who does glass artwork and she does tiny embroidery and sets it in jewelry. Her brother also does glass art. At one point one of them quoted a t-shirt which said "Cut me some slack: my parents were hippies" saying it'd been suggested as being appropriate for them.

Yo dawg, I heard you like America...

America--it's self-referential!

Apparently someone made some coding mistakes when programming the Romney-Bot.

they demonstrated that the smell of eggs is entirely in the whites

I've never experimented with that. I do know the whites are almost tasteless, and the yolks are incredibly nasty, but neither of them are palatable to me unseasoned, so there's no real advantage to one over the other.

I've never thought much about Rupert Graves, but my sister just sent me this Tom Hardyesque quotation:

He’s spoken before about experimenting with his sexuality at this time, and he says now, ‘I was a pretty boy. So there were some older [male] actors. I must have been 19, 20 or 21. It wasn’t right for me, but I have no complaints.’

Do we have any American actors saying stuff like that?

Jobs and Puppies?! Best Day Ever! What? It's national pie day? You are shitting me! That's like an infinite set that's bigger than that other infinite set.

Ugh, now I have to do my own software checking, backup, and upgrade. This is not my job! We have people for this! Annoying.

Kill This Day.

I mean, I'm glad for jobs and puppies, but this day is a motherscratcher.

On the bright side, this gel manicure is going to last forever. FOREVER.

Huh--a coworker pointed out that the reason we're being protested is because of a thing that he & I did some months ago, where we signed off on something. Woops.

I mean, it's not really because of us, but we did review & approve something that went on to be implemented and that's my organizational connection to the longshoremen's protest. Eeeps.

Still, I get to leave at 2, yay.

I mean, I'm glad for jobs and puppies, but this day is a motherscratcher.

::sits with amyth::

I don't have any pie, either.
