“‘Your internet connection is unstable.’ Yeah, so am I, you ain’t special.” —me talking to my computer this afternoon just before suddenly becoming very aware that I was mid-class with my mic on

We’re showing the kids the last movie we saw TWICET in the theaters: “Hobbs & Shaw.” Every time Statham, Johnson, or Elba comes out onscreen, I smack my 11yo daughter on the upper arm to communicate HOMINA HOMINA HOMJNA

CAN CONFIRM

I took a professional headshot for my faculty portrait (for the law school website) and then ordered & completed a paint-by-numbers version of it. It is currently in the attic, where I’m waiting for it to take on all my sins. Good news is the pfp hasn’t changed so i’m solid

"Why don't you read the books you already own before buying new books" why don't you eat all the food in the house before going shopping? That's what you sound like. That's how crazy you sound right now
