I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

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.

Team Amy must stick together.

Wait, Consuela, are you saying you're The Man?

::points and does Bodysnatchers shriek::

Do people here have deliberate face care routines? Like, more than "this is the convenient stuff I use on my face", and more like "this is the stuff that makes me look like this--anything else I've tried makes me break out/greasy/dry/whatever"?

My roommate emailed me a picture of a runner, standing proud, saying "Later, I will have PIE", informing me it's national pie day. I feel like I should make a pie. Maybe later. I have lots of work I haven't done, first.
