Seattle recommendations?
I would say there is an 75% chance I get to go to Seattle next week for work. (The 25% uncertainty is because anything that involves working on DRC has a strong chance of getting fucked.)
Any recommendations from visitors or inhabitants? I really like cocktails, coffee, cheap food, books…I don’t know. Whatever people do in Seattle. I should have a whole weekend to wander. Also, hostel...

She deserves flowers, a cheese platter, chocolates, wine of the month, and one night with Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

My scintillating Sunday evening: creating a database of tuberculosis* technologies.

Last night I saw Jeff Mangum and it was the closest to religion I get these days. That voice, that guitar, those songs.
Since it was DC, there were bros about doing their DC bro thing. And also one person yelled to Jeff Mangum, “don’t disappear for so long next time” and he got annoyed (“What did you want me to do? No, I’m…I’m not trying to be a dick. I...

It's kind of embarrassing
that people in other departments have started offering me coffee at 6:30p, because they expect that I will be here long enough to drink the rest of the pot.
NO, IT’S COOL; I LIVE HERE.

“He died as he lived,” the family statement said.
nerdysouth:
“Still not giving one fuck about who may or may not be raping children in his football facilities.”
This is too inflammatory for a trivia team name, right?
Or is it just inflammatory enough?
(Keep in mind that once the best team name was “The Tempura Home for Lightly Battered Women” and thus I give not one fuck about offending these people.)

Dear Everyone, Ever
muppetpants:
DC does not have representation. I’d link you to a Wikipedia page explaining how DC residents still pay taxes without having any representation in Congress, but, y’know.
You can stop blacking out our websites now, it’s really annoying.

How am I supposed to work when I stayed up until two reading the last Hunger Games book?!
(The Hunger Games is wonderful brain candy; I make no apologies.)

TA: But how did he get there?
Me: He, uh, was...born...there...
TA: Okay, so he moved there.

I got kicked out of an email management training...
That kind of tells you how my day is going.
(Well, “kicked out” is a bit strong; “was the subject of a general command to the group to leave the training if you need to send multiple emails” is more correct. But, you know.)

Of the 12 patients, a 31-year-old woman from Dharavi died in November 2011. She underwent a surgery to remove one of the infected...
