Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I hate the word seminal. Noam Chomsky is here giving a talk on his seminal work.
Ovarial would sound nicer. Is Chomsky a good speaker?

He's a high-functioning addict with zero incentive to do anything about it. But he does a great job, somehow.
Tony Stark is on your team?

My thoughts went to Peter O'Toole.

That which does not kill you should RUN

I was going to say my brother, but then we joke about shit like that in our family. Plus he's been sober for 8 weeks exactly as of today, so I guess he no longer qualifies for Tony Stark status.

Oh! Exciting news! There's one more great-nephew on the way right now! I just saw on FB that Tim's niece is at the hospital and is in labor with baby #2. So exciting!

And what's totally weird but I swear I'm not making up is that last night I dreamed about holding a baby and trying to teach it a basic vocabulary. (It was like a 3-month-old, so dream!me was pretty optimistic.)

Oh- I haven't gone (yet)- I just keep getting emails regarding Noam Chomsky's seminal-ness. Blech.

I also just added Kim Kelly to a contract. It made me laugh, but not as much as the woman whose email address is tpaine. We also have a Sharon Stone working here.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Luckily I got everything taken care of after work, so I am now the owner of a new Mazda 3!

Mazda 3s are ridiculously popular here in Australia. For the last three years it's been fighting with the Toyota Corolla for our best-selling car. (We have a Corolla.)

Colleagues, I admit that I'm a little cranky today, but you seem to be making an extra effort to get on my bad side. I recommend you cease before I threaten to cut you.

No love,
me

Yay! Tim's niece had her baby (that was fast) -- a whopping 10 pounds, no lie. I winced when I read that.

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

I also have a Corolla.

I'm not going to start any new tasks now. I'm leaving on time today, dammit.
