Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Now my mom asked me if "the guy with the pointy ears" is from Star Wars. I thought she meant Yoda. She meant Spock.

So I dressed as a clown and visited nursing homes as outreach from my church when a kid. No preaching or even God talk, but it was definitely called Clown Ministries.

This is the first time I can actually imagine being afraid of msbelle.

I HAVE HAD ENOUGH.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

My coworker mentioned today that her husband believes men are discriminated against.

Well, I suppose if he's talking about divorce and custody battles in family court he's correct. Or was he defining discrimination as women's rights and interests not automatically being dismissed in favor of men's?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I didn't ask. Hopefully, my expression made it clear how I felt about that.

Right now, the standard response around here to " I got jury duty summons" is widening eyes and "Freddie Gray?"

So I'm going to let you all practice being Baltimoreans:

I got jury summonses for February 4.

For reals.

I'd recommend department store or maybe Land's End, for swimsuits?

Am making molasses cookies, because I had the ingredients.

Well, sara, that'd be one way to not deal with work for a while. Not really a RECOMMENDED way, but...

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I got jury summonses for February 4.

Oh, man.

I'd recommend department store or maybe Land's End, for swimsuits?

I know some (maybe all?) Sears department stores have a Lands End section, although at this time of year, the Lands End section probably doesn't have swimsuits in-store.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Had a potluck holiday party at work. I made pasta salad. Alas, I wasn't the only one, and ended up taking most of it home. (There wasn't a sign-up sheet.)
