January 2014 No Last Call “Jan’s on her way to you now; she’ll explain all of it. Can you get back to that diner?” (Avengers/MCU, 2916) April 2014 The biggest room in the world Did ‘unavailable’ have some type of secondary meaning of which he was unaware?

Everyone keeps optimistically saying things should quiet down this week. So far no such luck. People keep leaving for vacation, which means that although the total work load is less, it’s distributed over fewer and fewer people. (On the plus side, the free food that keep showing up is also distributed among fewer and fewer […]
