Oh totally! Honestly mainlining a good book is the best escape IMHO...

Oh geez. My self-care usually consists of sitting on the couch, reading a good book and eating microwave popcorn. Or burying myself in work (a lot more of that lately)... Or shopping. Sometimes that's the only thing that works...

I like to channel the Muppet Movie from a few years ago and just yell "Maniacal Laugh" over and over...

Thank you for articulating exactly why I like that scene in Breakfast Club!

Also, was anyone else kind of put off by the many, many grammatical errors in the article? I actually couldn't read it to the end because my brain kept twitching.

Oh, I read the John Hughes article. I had always found movies like Pretty in Pink to be a little off - like, anything where a character is humiliated is just absolutely not going to resonate with me. But I loved Breakfast Club and still do. Like, the Ally Sheedy makeover scene? Yeah, I guess it could be read as her character conforming to gender stereotypes - but I think it can also be read as just two girls having a really sweet interaction. It didn't bug me the way Sandy's makeover at the end of Grease did. I'd be interested to hear what other people think!

Good job you! I stayed home today to nurse my migraine. So I'm trying to keep it low (meaning I will bill less than 10 hours maybe)???

I came to the conclusion this week that I really need to dial it back at work. I've been making myself sick - migraines, colds, upset stomach.. I'm so tired all the time and don't have any energy to focus on anything but work. But, I'm also up for partner next year I think, and I feel like I have to keep pushing in order to make it. I'm just really frustrated with myself and my inability to ever say no to things.
