It was totally an NPR Nerd week.<BR/><BR/>Flurrious--New house plants? No, but I have an old one that frankly has seen better days. Maybe you're right and the gnats are circling from there.<BR/><BR/>R--I kept meaning to tell you about Sarah Vowell in case you hadn't heard she was in town! Sorry about that. <BR/><BR/>Alice--The last time I Googled that to see where I fell, I was I think the fifth result. Glad to know my rank is apparently getting lower.<BR/><BR/>3Cs--Sounds like you need a library nearby.<BR/><BR/>Poppy--What is it with you and the less-than-appealing candidates for my soul mate?? ;-)<BR/><BR/>Liz--One big happy dysfunctional family perhaps?<BR/><BR/>Courtney--I know; I fear I have ruined library bathrooms for all of you now!<BR/><BR/>NPW--Really? I like listening to him read his own stories. The delivery is key sometimes. <BR/><BR/>Noelle--I don't think I'd even start "Mayflower," so you're ahead of me there.<BR/><BR/>Badger--Ooh, that sounds like the WORST! I'm glad we have a traditional one-seater at least, not that stall within a room thing.<BR/><BR/>12ontheinside--I think a lot of public places would work equally well. You'll have to explore. :-)<BR/><BR/>Pants--He had a busy day Monday then, making it all the way from Minneapolis to SLC! Glad you got to see him too!Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10128238432671375399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-22317025175054047652008-10-24T18:09:00.000-05:002008-10-24T18:09:00.000-05:00Oooo!

I've not seen her do a live reading, but I listened to her on CD when I drove from California to Utah. <BR/><BR/>I saw David Sedaris on Monday in SLC. LOVE HIM! <BR/><BR/>61 year old? YUCK.<BR/><BR/>It's all about the list! xoxoMaddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08265064473412574363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-27451321356396220882008-10-22T22:05:00.000-05:002008-10-22T22:05:00.000-05:00The library loo!

Or a courthouse might be a good one, then you're unlikely to run into anyone you know (and if you do they are sure to avoid you too).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-68154011304883219492008-10-22T15:02:00.000-05:002008-10-22T15:02:00.000-05:00My work also has the one stall, but it is an actua...My work also has the one stall, but it is an actual stall inside the bathroom, so my coworkers will actually stand and wait for the person occupying the stall to finish. Argh. I have never had the courage to venture out to another outside business. We're talking about digestive issues here - what if I didn't make it that far? <BR/>I loved Sarah Vowell on the Daily Show the other week. One of Jon's best interviews lately. So often it seems like the people just come on there to laugh, not really promote or explain anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-59549157206672047822008-10-22T12:34:00.000-05:002008-10-22T12:34:00.000-05:00I think you just cracked the mystery of the weird ...I think you just cracked the mystery of the weird Google hit. It's just from people looking to figure out what they wrote one time. <BR/><BR/>Also, I'm reading the Sarah Vowell book, currently.

CANNOT. So seeing him live might be out of the question. I will stick to his (hilarious) books. <BR/><BR/>Also, this made me glad I don't work in a public library.shelleycoughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04356701520189971892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-6840731631305938352008-10-22T11:44:00.000-05:002008-10-22T11:44:00.000-05:00Now every time I pass a library bathroom I'm going...Now every time I pass a library bathroom I'm going to wonder if anyone escaped there to take care of their digestive issues. <BR/><BR/>I hate people who make a joke and then spend the next hour apologizing in case it offended you.

At this point, though, we've all worked here together so long that we just do what needs to be done, spray the Lysol and get over it. Like one big happy family.

Are they sewer flies????<BR/><BR/>5. At the job interview I was at yesterday the supervisor for the position brought me to speak with some other people for a while, and asked that I be returned to her when they were done talking with me. When I was done speaking with them I was told the supervisor had left for the day. I think that qualifies as an HMC. I still want that job, though.<BR/><BR/>7. That's flattering. Maybe he's your soulmate!<BR/><BR/>8. HOLY CRAP I AM JEALOUS OF YOU, ON BOTH ACCOUNTS!

I've held the need to visit that room for an hour to avoid going back there when people are in the break room (conveniently located right next to it), or when the office is too darn quiet. I shouldn't have to worry that much about using the restroom.3carnationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942247215569463561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-30822256638196446602008-10-21T23:22:00.000-05:002008-10-21T23:22:00.000-05:001. i just googled "human castration story" to see ...1. i just googled "human castration story" to see what clearly awesome post of yours would come up. fyi, googling it in quotes like that only brings up this exact post; googling it WITHOUT quotes brings up your blog on the second page. fyi. :-)<BR/><BR/>2. i am so infintinely jealous of david sedaris and sarah vowell in one week. <BR/><BR/>3. i'm pretty happy we have a nice big bathroom at work, with several stalls, REALLY far from my desk.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15287792370490363047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-83099949704529770212008-10-21T23:14:00.000-05:002008-10-21T23:14:00.000-05:00Tidbits without pants?

If you think that's what it is, you need to isolate it from the other plants until you stop seeing the gnats; otherwise, all your plants will get them.<BR/><BR/>I think a sixty-year-old hit on me the other day at Target!
