Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Well, that's done. I've applied to my own damned job.

I've been there. I feel ya.

Hm. I guess there are worse letters to suddenly lose.

Ha! Things are looking up in Words With Friends games! jk

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Glad you made it through, Strix. Also glad to hear you are sober.

That's wonderful news, Sox!

flea, I'd be side-eying them too. That's just a little too... too, ya know?

Woo hoo for finally posting your own job, sara!

I suspect that the messiness of my house is killing me and stressing my kids out. I might have embraced this philosophy a little too hard.

Every time I have visited you, I am struck by one thing: the awesomeness of your family. I don't see the messiness, but I definitely felt the love. Be kind to yourselves.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I am not taking Benadryl. I am not taking Benadryl. I am not taking Benedryl.

Nothing like losing yourself to a three hour nap in the middle of the day, yesterday, after taking Benedryl. Everything is blooming here--the cherries, the crabapples, the forsythia, I suspect the apples and almonds, too. It's gorgeous but, oh by ghot, ahh-choo! Serially ah-choo. Time to google non-drowsy antihistimines.

Glad you got through, Strix.

I'd bop her for you, Sox, but she did have good news. I think we can give her a pass for that, right?

I have a two-pound crystal sphere that would suffice for bowling over people, instead of bludgeoning. I'm short, so taking them out below the knees is better stategy for me than trying to reach up to bludgeon, even with an implement. Otherwise it would just be beating them with a coffee cup or the laptop, and in both cases, no.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Awww, thanks Maria! That makes me feel good

Why oh why are my students skipping out on their mandatory conferences? And what will it mean for their papers, I wonder?

... And I have a staph infection. In my nose. On the outside, I guess.

Biopsy accomplished, won't hear the results until next week probably. Joy.

I think I need a BLT or a tuna melt. Hmmmm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, Consuela! Maybe a tuna melt WITH bacon??

Those both sound good.

Someone appears to have driven a car into a theater across the street. And no, it's not a drive-in theater.
