Achilles Heel
me: god. i want everyone to be as angry as i am at this kid
Heavy Metal Rob: well, I think he's pretty much scum
and I've never even met him
so you are successfully tarnishing his reputaiton from coast to coast
me: except he's also the most lovable person i know
well, not in reality
Heavy Metal Rob: careful with that
me: or rather, not in personal experience
Heavy Metal Rob: that gets you into trouble
like my sense of humor
you love cute things
I love horrible jokes
we are vulnerable

Objectively wrong
ct: yellow vests are pretty awesome. mr. chao is fly like a cool internet meme waiting to happen
me: I just don't think that could possibly be true

Soup for a Sick-o
Something’s been going around, and it’s gotten to me. For the past 2 or 3 days, I’ve woken up with a sore throat and runny nose. I’ve finished off a box of tissues at work (originally 3/4 full). No going out tonight, hence the post.
In preparation for my weekend of staying in, not contaminating other people, I went to Safeway to pick up some eggs and fruit to tide me...

Utility curves
My social obligations for the night include a pirate-themed birthday party and a one-month birthday party for Blue Ivy Carter, Beyonce and Jay-Z’s baby. Somehow my friends have conspired to have me dress up as two things I cannot be credibly—a person who rapes and pillages and a person who goes to clubs.
Now that I have tried on every item of clothing in my closet, I have found 2...
