Yeah finding the motivation to actually work this week is proving challenging. Everyone's already in vacation mode at my work. At least they'll probably cut us loose early on Wednesday. Yay productivity!

I've been making both lately (one at a time, just to clarify) because I hate limiting my options. Both are delicious and perfect winterly drinks.

After my breakdown last week, things have gotten so, so much better. I'm looking at moving to another department in my company where there would be actual challenge and room for growth, I found a therapist I liked, I FINALLY got on top of some of my work projects that were albatrosses around my neck and I finished a

I started watching Fringe and finished an embroidery project while it poured outside. So… it was pretty fantastic. I've really gotten back into embroidery - I've already picked out my next two projects to finish before Christmas.

@Duffman told me on the TI that Bulleit's bourbon is repackaged and marked up Four Roses Yellow Label, which is apparently even cheaper. Just thought I'd pass that along, as I've been enjoying Bulleit hot toddys this week.

< unimportant graphics nitpicking> Is that logo bugging anyone else? The spacing on the top line is wider than the spacing on the bottom line, like they forgot to add a border to the top line that matches the fill. I'm not sure why but it's driving me nuts. I should probably find less pedantic hobbies. < /unimportant

There's a cash grab at the Crab Crib!

Yeah I'd like for her to return to those two points as well. She's right, we should all move on from the state's official story of how it happened because that's just total crap, but there are still those two things that need to be explained to clear him (in a podcast sense, not a legal one).

Pitch Perfect has secretly been part of the MCU this whole time - PP 3 will be a crossover with Guardians of the Galaxy where they sing covers for the Awesome Mix Tape vol. 2. Spoiler: Groot and Fat Amy totally end up hooking up; Bumper is inconsolable.

Pizza doesn't pay for itself. Turtle's gotta work.

I can see that. He's used sparingly in the other two, and that's probably for the best.

I haven't seen Nothing Sacred, but he plays essentially the same character in It Happened One Night and Libeled Lady. He must've been the go-to for the easily flustered but ultimately kind-hearted super rich dude in those days.

I love Libeled Lady, The Philadelphia Story and His Girl Friday. Not to be an old, but they just don't make 'em like that anymore. Now I want to go home and watch old romcoms all night long.

I won tickets to see Bob Schneider from the radio once. I couldn't go on the night they were for, but my friend really enjoyed the show!

Oooh thanks! Shady, Bulleit. Shady.

That sounds amazing! We did something similar for Thanksgiving two years ago at Disney World and it was awesome. Have fun!

It's so pretty! And delicious, I imagine…

Got a "no thanks" at the end of a phone interview today. I'd rather have that than the "we'll totally call you soon, we mean it…… *crickets*" but it was a little jarring. Oh well, it was more marketing type stuff than I really want to do, so maybe this belongs in the Apathy This Shit Thread?

I think maybe leaning toward probably. BUT if he did, I think it was a spur of the moment crime of passion and I think Jay has lied about a hell of a lot of details, if not the basic gist. I think he especially is making up the basis for premeditation, either implicitly or explicitly to garner favor with the cops/DA.

Renaissance Italy to become BFFs with da Vinci. Mona who? Duchess Lisa forever!
