I start grad school tomorrow and I'm going to try to keep working the whole time so I don't incur any more loans, so I'm [almost desperately] trying to enjoy my last evening of nothing to do. I've cleaned up from a party I had yesterday (I MOPPED, people), slopped the animals and scooped their poop, and I am now going…
I have approximately zero idea what I'm doing on this site, haha. I understand commenting and recommending but that's all. I'm an old :( Are you a GroupThink author? (I am not.)
Ask her out again. Just tell yourself that this is the funny "how we met" story that you will tell your grandchildren, and try to let that relax you. (Just don't tell her that or you will FREAK HER OUT.)
Yes! The pacing was SO WEIRD! Some plots were wrapped up in the same episode, some started and then didn't go anywhere at all, and then the...major one (which probably everyone sees coming but I don't want to spoil just in case) has 0% resolution at the end and was also just so silly and lazy. Plus I call shenanigans…
I think the way you've presented it here is a good non-accusatory way to broach it. Just make it clear that you're happy with him and your relationship, and you know it's not his natural inclination, but it would make you feel really loved if he would do ______, and by the way is there anything he'd like to suggest…
While not admitting fault, it has come to my attention over the years that if the bank receives funds on the same day that you overdraw, they won't charge you. So if your payment clears tomorrow morning and the check deposits tomorrow afternoon, you SHOULD be ok. I mean, any bank that takes days to transfer money from…
I am still tired from turning in my grad school applications, so congrats! I hope you'll apply elsewhere if this one doesn't work out. The grad admissions process can be so arbitrary (inevitably, I suppose, anytime you have to choose between a lot of qualified candidates). My good friend got turned down at two state…
You didn't miss anything, although the fourth season was a tiny bit better (at least wittier). Fellowes is just way out of his depth and apparently cannot handle sustained narratives. If you only have eight hours of TV to write a year, there's no excuse for it all to sound as if you wrote it the night before the…
If only. Then we could have avoided the As the Abbey Turns clusterfuck of the last season.
What harm is there? You're joking, right?
Actually yes, that ass did magically appear like that when the surgeon was finished.
Congratulations! That is a huge step. Plus once you start it gets easier every time. There is no excuse for anyone to say what she did, so you are well shot of her.
Who the hell uses mothballs nowadays?
Question about a sort of awkward situation at work. I work on a team of 12 people and we all have to interact a lot, though we have individual channels of expertise, so cordial working relations are key.
I always get so angry at myself when that happens. I got rid of all my larger-size clothing so that I wouldn't be so "oh well, not such a big deal" when it happens, and now it's an infuriating sartorial nightmare. Mission accomplished I guess.
That gif just made my day, possibly for the next few days.
I've been reading all your posts today, Mark, and I must say,
No Disney movies bear much resemblance to their origins. I really want to watch the movie you're describing though. Maybe someday there'll be a Maleficent-style remake, I hope.
