Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Wow. Tonight on the drive home, I was treated to the most spectacular double rainbow I've ever seen in my life. It spanned over 1/4 of the horizon, and the brighter ring was clearly visible all the way through its arc. It wasn't a quick, transitory thing either—it lasted for 18 miles of driving.

At one point, one end of it lined up perfectly with the highway I was on and I thought "If I end up driving to Asgard without calling first, my folks are going to be pissed."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Snerk!

Wrong color, though.

Oh, that's cute! Thanks for the heads-up on Google, Nilly.

I have a meeting with the Big Boss in a few minutes for a topic that I am covering for my boss while she's on vacation. Any calm-ma, sound-like-I-know-what-I'm-talking-about-ma and non-stammering-ma would be a appreciated.

To celebrate sending my manuscript out, I bought myself a juicy steak and a cupcake.

To publishers, Allyson? If so, all the acceptance-ma in the world ~~~~~~

Timlies. No gronk, which is nice for a change. Feels a LOT drier here today, though it's still going to be pushing the high 80s according to the forecast. I think it will be one of those days that if you can stay in the shade, it will be really nice to be outside. Not a decent cloud in sight, however (I find no-cloud 80+ days, even the dry ones, to be oppresive, as I'm basically allergic to the sun - give me a little occasional cloud cover, sheesh!). Le sigh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Google is so cute. I do worry they are just trying to lull us into a false sense of security, though.

Go Sue, go!

Okay, my meeting was about 5 minutes long, and totally okay. And I was so stressed!

I would still like to go home now.
