I should corner the market on tact

Tact is down 2.49% today and is in a long-term downtrend dispite some small recent gains.

What are your plans for the long weekend (if you have to work on Monday - spew about your job/boss/company)?

No real plans but rest -- I have Monday off both jobs, so I'll probably die of boredom, but you remind me that I should ask V if she wants to train then.

Where was your best vacation ever and why was it so freakin awesome?

There was one in Morocco with a friend I didn't really like much then. But Morocco was so damned other and not, so friendly and so beautiful, with the nicest people. Totally rocked.

I missed the dinner for the seniors this year, should I 1)bake them all cookies and frost '05 on them? 2)bake a nice cake for them? 3)bake cupcakes and frost '05 on them? 4)buy them all '05 keychains?

Cupcakes. No question.

say something happymaking or nice that has happened this week.

Not only am I teaching my class tonight, but my assistant has called in to say he can't make it, so it's ALL ME. Which is gonna force me to really step up to the plate.

And I will.

Cruise should go feed Britney vitamins (or Lohan and Richie food), and also maybe get involved in the Jolie/Pitt shenanigans.

well, we wouldn't be worrying about Cruise having an affair with her

I would vote cookies.

I have no plans for the long weekend, unless you count platelets on Friday.

My week has thus far been uneventful, but I'm looking forward to an awesome dinner with friends tonight. And am nervous about seeing Star Wars tomorrow with the ex.

I love all my vacations. The one most unlike me was a long weekend in South Beach a couple of years ago. My good friend K and I just drank and lounged by various pools, and it was awesome.

And am nervous about seeing Star Wars tomorrow with the ex.

::looks slantwise at Jesse::

I think we can be friends!! Maybe. We'll see.

::refrains from posting the Love's Bitch monologue at Jesse::

WE'LL SEE.

::unrefrains::

You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both. You'll fight, you'll shag, you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends. Real love isn't brains, children, it's blood, it's blood screaming inside you to work its will. I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

It's crazy Little League overload weekend, with games Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon. It's the end of the regular season, and then we have a round-robin tournament the following weekend to determine a Double-A champ.

Where was your best vacation ever and why was it so freakin awesome?

All of my New Orleans vacations have been fantastic, but the second one was probably the most fun. The first one was barely a weekend and we were poor. For the second one we got to explore the whole place and had a week and money to spend. Great food, sex and music - utter play and animal indulgence.

Our car is dying, and JZ's dad is giving us one of his extras thus averting a financial and transportational crisis. Also, EM had a job interview that looks like an excellent prospect. Uh, I was interviewed on TV for the Independent Film Channel. And best of all for me, I got to see a tape of the Bubblegum documentary the Alamo Drafthouse Theater did based on my book and it's totally rocking. Now we're planning on doing some guerilla showings in various cities.

eta: I forgot - Emmett's being lobbied heavily to join the traveling tournament baseball team. (More or less the All Stars). As the coach said, "We want the boy on the team."
