J, she/her, old enough to know better. I personally thought you were very good in Mamma Mia.

Stayed up too late emotionally recovering from work retreat, then slept 11 hours. Would like to sleep again but probably food good?

Tried a chai latte at a new place. Alas, piss watery once again. I remain tied to Panera (a little heavy on the nutmeg, otherwise lovely, nowhere near convenient to me) and Starbucks (excellent flavor but sugary enough to fur the teeth). My life is tragic.

Office back room discussion has divided into group A (knitting), group B (sportsball, both base- and foot-), and group C (hating on disc assessment), with an amazingly tight Venn diagram.

Working the 12-8 shift today which meant I got to sleep in to 8:45. Then I had a breakfast croissant in a cafe and read an LRB article about the practice of literary criticism and am now listening to my Fuck Capitalism playlist while heading to the office at last. #LivingThatClicheLife

Huh. Today in "always look up the etymology because sometimes you're just repeating a myth but sometimes it's weirder and more incredible than you could have possibly imagined" www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/c...
Screenshot of Merriam Webster etymology note for cockamamie: 
By the look and sound of it, cockamamie (also spelled "cockamamy") could have something to do with a rooster and the outrageous sound it makes. But in fact, cockamamie is believed to be an altered form of the term decalcomania, which refers to the process, invented in the mid-19th century, of transferring pictures and designs from specially prepared paper to surfaces such as glass or porcelain. (The word referring to the picture or design itself, decal, is a shortening of decalcomania.) The word decalcomania comes from French, with décalcomanie combining the verb décalquer, meaning "to trace" or "to transfer by tracing," and -manie, meaning "-mania." Starting in the 1930s, painted strips of paper with images capable of being transferred to the skin were called decals or—in children's slang—cockamamies. Those familiar with today's temporary tattoos will understand quickly that these were regarded by many as silly novelties, lending the word cockamamie the necessary leeway for application to anything ridiculous.

Went with CW to see Diva at the Brattle. It remains the most French movie I’ve ever seen (affectionate). This time around I noticed some really interesting stuff happening with ambient sound vs in-universe sound, which was cool. Apparently it’s based on a book series - I might try to find those.

15 minutes until our ‘keynote’ about the DISC assessment, which will likely contain breakout room discussion and thus IS NOT A KEYNOTE (look, normally I’m not uptight about that sort of thing but ffs). By the power of candy crush and advil, let me survive this.

The problem with there being no place of discussion for my current fandom is that I can come here and say “why is there no boyband AU???” but no one will truly feel my pain.

Many years ago my previous department director told me that my facial expressions could be ‘almost insubordinate’ and although the current director is a bajillion times more sane I’m still going to have to work hard on my poker face this week. #work

The cocktail was called the ‘calm your teats’ and it was delicious, although they warned me not to swallow the little cows which came in the glass.

The Emma Frost x Miss Piggy comic has hit the internet and it's so, so, so much more magnificent than I ever could have hoped for
Emma Frost: "Emma Frost, darling. I'm a telepath. May I read your mind to ascertain if you're telling the truth?"

Miss Piggy: "But of course, darling I am an open book, a tell-all memoir."Emma Frost telepathically witnessing the entirety of Miss Piggy's life.Wolverine: "Frost? She legit?"
Emma Frost: "She's..She's... She's everything. And I would die for her."

Nothing more indicating of fantastic mental health than when you have to ask your wife to sit next to you on the sofa and lovingly encourage you to press the Spend Money button. (Christmas flights and hotel booked now, gold star for me.)

Notes from last night’s show with Ify Nwadiwe and Erika Ishii: 1) improv in person can actually be done well, if the performers know what they are doing 2) it’s fascinating to see the workings/rituals of other fannish cultures (e.g., people who see improv all the time)

Love being married so long that you can communicate in ways that are absolutely incomprehensible. “Is that the book series where the thing is just the thing?” I knew exactly what she meant. (The Annihilation series.)

The person who cut in front of me to get onto the escalator had two keychains on their backpack, one of which was a pink fairy Lego Batman and the other of which was genuinely just a cock and balls at the same size as the other so that they hung side by side.
