I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just want to know if it's going to be too gory for me. Everything else about it looks VERY much up my alley, but am I going to be too squeamish to enjoy any of it?

Somebody told me it was Lost Boys level of scary and gory. But I can’t personally attest to that. PMM?

Hmm. I'm trying to remember how gory Lost Boys is. (Which, considering I've seen Lost Boys somewhat recently, I should recall, yet don't.)

I mean, there's certainly gore in Sinners, as well as some jump scares, but I'm not sure I'm the best judge of what counts as gory, as I would say it's not gratuitously gory? IDK.

It’s hard for me to see lost boys as particularly scary or gory at all because it’s one of those comforting movies that I can throw on anytime. But I think when it came out it was pretty intense.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Well, a very brief excerpt from my dear housemate's "exit interview" from HHS wound up on John Oliver last night: [link] (the relevant excerpt is from 3:12 to 3:42.)

Not really how I wanted him to get his thirty seconds of Internet fame, but what can you do?

I do really love that he wore that shirt to work on the day, though.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The Thomas Crown Affair

Steve McQueen or Pierce Brosnan?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

McQueen

I realized I hadn’t seen any of his films.

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

Without actually clicking on the link, Karl, I did just watch that episode and remember a delightful shirt. Your poor housemate come off like a mensch imo, fwtw

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My dog loves me a lot but he absolutely would be like “oh no, I have no mother….hello nice stranger will you be my mother?” And they would say yes of course!

I tried to steal a dog today on the bus. It was a pittie and I think corgi mix and it was SO CUTE.

My anxiety dream was literally figuring out I was losing my job and saying to my coworking instructional designers "we are losing our jobs". I don't have a master's or doctorate in education, and I am so vulnerable. We have so many faculty who are instructional designers as well and it can be added to their workload. We are on a hiring freeze, so I am not just going to be able to be easily able to get a secretary job. To note this is not actually happening and I am holding Open Course Copy Hours thanked by my boss, but I am worried!
