Yes to Let the Right One In, and maybe Wallander if you like mysteries? I think a few seasons are on Netflix!

I think that’s a lovely gift and I’m sure they’ll be thrilled!

I’m also not a super decisive person, which is why I think this is stressing me out!! They probably are just super chill people who don’t care what they do. But I feel responsible for showing them a good time on their trip and they’re not giving me enough info to figure out how!!

I think I will! :) I mean, they’ll most likely like tacos, right? I feel like it’s my job to show them a good time while they’re here so I’d feel bad if I never picked anything they liked, but tacos seem like a pretty safe bet!

I snort-laughed tea up my nose just picturing it :)

AHGGGG you guys, we have some very nice lab visitors staying this week who are also driving me crazy because they refuse to give me any opinions about what they want to eat, drink, or do. Drive downtown or walk a few blocks away? “Whatever you want.” What kind of food? ‘Whatever you want.” Fancy wine bar or gritty…

I starred for the pigeon in the cat carrier line but I’m also really sorry for your husband :(

that’s adorable as fuck

YES, THANK YOU. I mean, it would be nice if air travel was still real silverware and pressed uniforms, but I’d rather be able to afford to fly home and see my family several times a year on a grad student salary instead.

That gif is one of my favorite things on the internet

My boss likes to give me shit about being “too negative” when I don’t immediately leap on whatever bandwagon he’s trying to roll out, so it was super gratifying to be out with him and some French collaborators last night who were like “you’re so positive all the time!! how are you so positive??? you love everything!”

I’ve never had one done, but if you like Dave Sedaris, he has a hilarious essay about having a colonoscopy. If he’s to be believed, it’s all happy drugs and wondering if you farted in front of strangers. My mom did have one done, and while she was not as enthused as Dave Sedaris, she said she didn’t remember anything…

I’m so so sorry. What an insane storm of horrible stuff. I’m sending you ALL of the internet hugs- I hope everything gets better soon.

If you think only getting $3 is bad, kiddies, wait until you grow up and you have to pay someone else $1000 if you want to lose a tooth. #adultingsucks

CAKE + WINE = HAPPY FUCKING BIRTHDAY

That’s fine, if you want to do that, but I don’t like that arrangement and I don’t see splitting an itemized check as such a hardship as that I should have to.

Not everyone gets an expense account, and I’m not paying for someone’s 3 martinis and steak when all I had was a soup and salad and a beer.

That’s a nice thing to do with your friend, but not everyone you have to go out to dinner with is that level of intimate (like, networking with colleagues), and, even if they were a friend, it would make me super uncomfortable if my friend was picking up my tab all the time. I would much rather just pay for what I eat…

I read your hashtag as “peep ride” and then all I could think about was this:
