I put together such a nice little presentation for next week's anesthesia conference, if I may say so, but there's one tiny thing left
How in the goddamn name of everything that's holy do I do the statistics part properly???
I have literally zero idea of what I'm doing

Crimes Drabble - Trystan x Lilah
Happy Birthday week, Dani!!
Warnings & A/N: No warnings. Lilah belongs to @storyofmychoices. The quote is actually “I said I liked it. I didn’t say I wanted to kiss it.” from In a Lonely Place.
“Ruby, not tonight,” I sigh.
My drink is smoky and the amber color reflects against my hand as I raise it to my lips. I close my eyes and savor the burn that trails down my throat. It’s smoother than my usual. Uncle Tommy left the good stuff at our table.
A birthday gift, for my favorite niece, he had said.
I’m your only niece, I had chuckled.
That’s why you’re my favorite, he had teased back.
Ruby’s playful tone pulls me back to the present.
“I only asked if you had, you know, any plans with someone tonight,” she grinned.
“My plan is to enjoy this bottle in peace and try not to think about the case load waiting on my desk for me tomorrow.”
“But you’d like to have plans with him tonight.”
It’s a knowing statement rather than a question.
“I admit to wanting quiet. And that will only be achieved by keeping him over there with Luke and you quiet.”
I give her a teasing pointed look.
“I have only question,” she waits my reluctant nod before asking. “Will tonight end in a kiss?”
“Ruby!” I groan.
I throw in an eye roll for good measure and but I can’t stop myself from looking over at him.
I try to keep my features schooled as she leans further across the table and just grins her silly grin at me. I seem the look before. I’ve seen the same body language. Hell, I’ve used the same techniques in the interrogation room.
She’s waiting for me to break.
“You do know that my profession, right? You know I can read tones and between the lines? I know all the tricks in that playbook.”
“I don’t know what you mean,” she smirks and keeps her focus on me.
I sit back in my seat and sip my whiskey again and smirk at her over the edge of my glass but not before my eyes dart in his direction again.
“As I suspected,” she chuckles. “You like like him.”
“I said I liked him. I didn’t say I wanted to kiss him.”
Not my finest defense but it will have to do because I’m unable to deny anything as he smiles that infuriating smile and walks over to me.

I’m really not over the way that MASH nails on the head the tension between what is technically a terrible and severely limiting situation and place, and the odd freedoms a place like this affords to people. They way these people might never have been friends (family) by geography or interests or ideals outside of here, but now belong together, and the way individual idiosyncrasies afford one another the space to exist as a version of oneself who would get stifled/locked up/attacked/exiled/censored/judged in what one might consider “society”
yeah, that’s... literally what happened -- and happens -- over and over

Hearing adverts for films/TV shows in podcast ad spots always seems weird to me cos I don't understand why they would choose to advertise an inherently visual product using an audio-only medium, especially since podcasts are generally more niche. But I've never encountered a more unexpected juxtaposition than hearing an ad for the new Top Gun film at the beginning of an episode of The Silt Verses. Why am I hearing Tom Cruise's voice before this weird indie horror podcast about the fucked-up nature of society?
