Dude, I'm still on anti-malarials. Psychedelics would be overkill.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Someone doesn't know how to cut loose and get trippy on goofballs.

I don't know, that's a long way for a coyote to go from Liese's yard to shrift in Ireland.

So I decided to come to work 2 hours late due to the storm. Wise idea, little traffic and the roads are kind of clear.
Until you get to where my office is. On the side of the mountain up two different winding roadways. With packed slush. I couldn't even get through the entire parking lot because of all the slopes. Plus 25 mph blowing snow. Dear god. And I have to get out of this tonight and the storm is set to be here through tomorrow.
Be warned, people east of us!

Wow, Connie. Be careful in all that!
Herbie Hancock is the only non-car Herbie I can think of. I'm pretty sure he's not a car, anyway.

Our old building was at the mouth of the canyon and subject to fearsome winds, but there were multiple ways to get to it. Stupid executives who wanted something that would look good in the brochures instead of thinking logistics.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The office building finally got a deli again, almost a year after the old one being close. The new one is still working out some kinks. I ordered a stuffed baked potato with chicken.
Got back to my office, and I had chicken on top of a potato. Nothing else. No butter, no cheese, no bacon. Those are the entire point of a baked potato!

Well, it's certainly not stuffed.

No, unless one considers it stuffed with chicken. But that's just silly.
Last work trip this year! At the moment though I'm most worried about all the presents I ordered arriving in time. When will I learn to just have them shipped to my sisters house (and risk her opening them) vs sending to my house and maybe missing them en route and having nothing to give?
On another note: white privilege in action! Yesterday was at the mall with friends and one walked out of the store with a book under her arm. And the other went "wait, did you pay for that?" And first friend was horrified. And ran back into the store to buy it (she had intended to). And nobody at the store said a word.

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

Oh, yeah. When I was a teenager, I knew plenty of other well-off white teenagers who would go to the mall and shoplift for fun. Little things that that could easily afford if they'd wanted to, like makeup or whatever. They almost never got caught, and when they did, the most that the stores ever did was kick them out.
