Listen to Choire. Choire is the best. Choire is never not the best.
I probably should’ve opened the attachment that came with my astrobiology problem set a little sooner. Because it’s a 28-page scholarly paper on which one of the questions is based.
It’s about the definition of a planet, so I do already know this:
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK PLUTO!
That’s probably a valid answer.
AH MY OLD BOSS IS ON SMASH!
Get off my TV, Bobby LuPone!
very timely
So like the third line of dialogue in Smash is “why doesn’t anyone do new musicals any more?” and I just am ready to die of shame.
Oh but look Brian D’arcy James!
I am insufferable to watch this with.
Boyfriend not home to go to dinner for an hour?
Go eat a whole bag of Snap Pea Crisps.
This morning I washed the dishes, made eggs, packed lunch in my new HOT THERMOS SOUP THINGIE *and* made coffee to bring to class. I emailed myself my bibliography - 30 sources and I have another 30 beyond that - to print at school before class. And I’m ready to leave a few minutes early?
I must’ve blacked out and it’s actually Friday.

Some day I will learn to improvisationally balance chicken stock, coconut milk, and curry paste. Some day. Not today.

Tomorrow the Giants will receive their ticker tape parade. Still no word from President Obama and Mayor Bloomberg on our Iraq veterans and a day of celebration and remembrance. Please follow the above link and come down for a good cause. Also if you haven’t yet, please read this piece and sign the petition below.
“This is another problem rarely dealt with in theater productions. Most are not theatrical. I hear far too many people say something like “what is interesting about theater is it’s aliveness, having real live performers in front of you.” But that is only true if the production is alive. If we just have a few people sitting around a living room discussing the effects of the Iraq war it is not alive, nor very interesting. It is television. Too often bad television. If you want to write and produce TV shows, that is awesome. Go do it! But please, for the love of god, don’t put them on stage.”

How are we not best friends yet?
I thiiiiiink because we’ve only been tumblr friends for a week? But that is a good start! I hear tequila is a social lubricant.
Enjoy the tequila.
Not to quote my own tweet at you, but…….
REALIZATION: CEE-LO IS THE PERSON VERSION OF BULL
I am the only person on tumblr right now.
1. I have had tequila.
2. I think I love LMFAO
3. Madonna is shuffling.
4. I always sing along with the scratchy high-pitched noise in the shuffle-break.
“There’s gladiators. They’re walking. … She’s voguing. … Someone’s, like, airwalking? Airwalking? Moonwalking.”

I was at the gym.
At 6pm on Superbowl Sunday.
With cat hair all over my gym pants.
Listening to Erasure.
And then I dropped my phone on the treadmill.
I felt so awesome.
So awesome.
So awesome.
Blasto, Bullseye, JJGo, MBMBaM, StarTalk, Stop Podcasting Yourself, TBTL, The Indoor Kids.
Cleaned out and updated my podcasts. This list makes me very happy, except for the fact that I typed it up while I needed to be making breakfast. But otherwise. I’ve just returned to the fold on a couple of these after a lengthy absence, and it’s very good to be back.
matthewgallaway replied to your photoset: (click for proper viewing.) Sigh. Bull is…
I think the let-them-work-it-out strategy is a good one, so long as they don’t make each other bleed.
That’s what the original plan from the shelter was, too. (You are wise in the ways of cats, Gallaway!) We started quarantining them when Meg decided to live on top of the fridge and hadn’t used the litterbox in a few days. But she’s pooped and stuff, so she can stay on the fridge now for a while and I don’t care.
I mean, I love her and I want them to work it out.
