Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Also, I think this might be a Rochester accent thing, but I just hear, over the loudspeaker, to ignore the three warning tones for the Med Center antics. But the were saying Med Center Annex. Both pronounced ann-ix.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

eehhann-ix

I take it as a given that ann is pronounced "eehhann"! :)

ETA: For some reason the man on the loudspeaker most days has a fairly pronounced accent- you should hear him call a code team to the trauma bay! TRAAAHHHH-ma bay, I mean.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Happy Mardi Gras, y'all. Raise your hands if you'd rather be in New Orleans today.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Also, go get yourself some paczki.

I never saw Paczki in Rochester until a couple of years ago, but maybe I just didn't notice until we started talking about them here. I had one this weekend, but I unfortunately got the kind with white cream inside, and I don't really like white cream. The outtards were good, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We just had Memorial, Part 2, for my coworker who died over the weekend. So, you know, that's a way to start the day.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

::raises hand:: Although I am looking forward to my plan of happy hour at the place with $1 oysters and chocolate-filled beignets.

Oof, Jesse. That is tough.

Shoot, I meant to throw a hat on as I went out the door because my hair definitely needs cutting and also sparkly fleur-de-lis, but I forgot. Oh well.

There are few places that I wouldn't rather be than in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. I like watching circuses from the nosebleed seats, not within the rings.

That said, I am braving the party crowd at the fine dining place down the street thanks to the chef posting this photo: [link]

meara, your situation reminds me of when a friend's sister confided in me about her affair with another (married) friend of mine, like she expected me to give her a cookie for her achievement. Ugh.
