I just took a full length shower and still smell like gunpowder. Good times.

I just had a serious discussion with someone in our podcast about kissing crocodiles.

That’s no way to refer to your Mrs. I thank you, I’ll be here all week.

Have you tried the veal?

That’s good, now I know where to hunt you down.

We need more words for dread in the English language. The type of dread I am feeling today is the “First day back at work after a week and a half off oh God what is waiting in store for me” dread.

Closely followed by the “Oh, fuck so many small tasks like sifting through 500 e-mails to do that I instead just spent all day reading QT3 so tomorrow is going to be even worse”-dread

I absolutely adore the smell of gunpowder. If they made WC844 into a fragrance, I’d be all over that.

Now imagine having 3 months off for Summer! Actually, it’s not the same, since everyone else shuts down at the school too (except administration…poor bastards).

So are you the only one who works on the specific things you work on?

I work at a small company, so yeah, it’s just me in my department. My backup is actually the company’s president. Fortunately, though, I schedule my vacations for my slow stretch of the month, and he did a fantastic job keeping everything under control. I have a printed off list of emails and notes with highlights to knock out this morning, but I think by noon it’ll be completely business as usual.

I recently flew into Charlotte, NC. The washrooms at the airport had attendants with little cups of mouthwash, and various sundries laid out for sale. I have never seen this before. Is this a usual thing in North Carolina? I didn’t see any other washroom attendants during our trip, but we were just in Asheville.

Me, Matt, and Nute were all in Chicago last week, and while there Nute took a picture of me while I was dressed up for the concert. He used some sort of filter on it that made it look like an old photograph - and holy crap I look JUST LIKE MY MOM IN IT. The filter made it look like a photo that’s been sitting in an album for a few decades, so it looked a lot like pictures of my mom from the 70s. I was really struck by it because I had no idea I resembled her so much - I’m basically a mutt, and I take more after my dad. It was pretty cool.

I would like to see the picture so that I know what these nerds look like!

Their wedding photo is in the Look At These Nerds thread (or whatever it’s called).

I mean Matt and Nate. Unless they’re the ones who got married, and Meghan is Matt’s sister.

I fucking hate head colds. Especially ones that totally ruin holiday weekends and leave you with little energy for anything besides sleeping and watching Seinfeld reruns.

Here ya go - ignore the look on my face. I didn’t know he was taking the picture, and anyway I didn’t feel good.

You look sad! And just like your mom!

Omniscia · 2011-07-05T19:49:44.000Z

You guys dragged Nute all the way to Chicago just to be your personal photographer?

I think I do quite a good job looking like a bewildered hobo in that picture.

Nah, we dragged Nute around to be our hired muscle on the L train. I was our trip photographer with that ridiculous hunk of metal around my neck there.
