I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I have a box of 5000 clips in my desk drawer.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Happy birthday, Betsy!

The true problem is, her name is Krystal with a K.

(Apologies to all lurkers so named. But really, people - if you want to work for SPIN, pick a cooler name.)

I can't even.

I have a condo because I want to live downtown (after years of living in a nice 3 bedroom house in the burbs as an espoused person) and even small houses less than an hour away are two or three times what I can afford. So I have a very small place very close to work. As time goes by, I will get a bigger place when I can afford it, or if my circumstances change.

Happy Birthday, Betsy!

She APPLIED for an internship and assumed she'd gotten it.

Hmmmm. If the application-to-acceptance thing worked like that, I'd have about 30 new jobs right now.

Our wings are not tired.

Happy Birthday Betsy!

May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings,
Slow to make enemies,
And quick to make friends.
But rich or poor, quick or slow,
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I don't know why I'm writing this down, but sometimes when I hit "post" the embarassment goes away.

So I miscounted my period. By a WEEK. And I get to work, stand up out of my car, and there she is. The Woman Tax.

Sadly, there are no women in my building under the age of 4,583. In fact, most of the women I am close to here who wouldn't give me a lecture about how I am no longer in the 7th grade and should have something here in my desk are likely post-menepausal.

So I have to call someone I don't know very well, drive clear across lab, get the supplies needed, and race back. I'm in a terrible mood.

And then I remembered that lori works here. Which could have saved me a great deal of "I am not in the 7th grade and should have something on me" embarassment.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Heh. One of the reasons she got was the font on her resume. She thought it was "creative."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'd have about 30 new jobs right now.

So why haven't you taken a pricey apartment and invited us all to come along with you? Hmmm?
