Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Those papers are funny.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ah-- this isn't new. I haven't had a connected VCR since I got my TiVo, since that takes up what used to be the VCR space.

I usually leave the doors open.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So you've been wrong all this time? I can't believe I hadn't realised.

I've probably spent way too much time thinking about TV furniture. And for all that, I ended up improvising. I'm way too lazy to use doors anyway. And I'd feel like the armoire was holding me back from a 65" TV.

Yeah, that's what'd stop me getting one.

Anybody ever had a phone interview? Any last minute tips?

That's what mine has done and I am trying to get rid of it. Not that I'll get a 65", but you know, something bigger than 29"

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Any last minute tips?

Don't have Death Metal playing loudly in the background. And don't eat handfuls of potato chips while speaking. Also, don't periodically stop to scream "Shut up, bitch, I'm on the phone!" to someone in the background.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sit upright in a chair, not looking at anything except a blank notebook or something. I find it's easy to be distracted.

Y'all are making my 24 incher seem inadequate.

If I only had a brain...

Re phone interview: Don't sit next to your computer, for the reasons Jesse gives. Listen carefully for cues, because you can't get them from facial expressions.

And be yourself; unless you're desperate, you might as well show 'em what's in the package.

smile some - they can hear it in your voice I am told.
