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.

I am here!

I took my camera to work to take a picture of our crazy warning sticker, but my computer won't recognize my camera.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Jeans day today, finally. The last three Fridays we've had either clients or our CEO in the office. It's amazing how much the jeans days do for my mental health.

The project I was freaking about this week is still ongoing. I was right, it wasn't close to what SuperDemandingVeryImportant person wanted. But, weirdly, she's not being at all bad about it. And she's not the type to be all friendly when she's pissed, so I guess it's going to be ok. It'll finish up today, so that's going to be a relief anyway.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, I'm reading this article, and it opens like this:

Two high-profile U.S. senators, Joseph Lieberman and Hillary Rodham Clinton, are incensed over pornographic content "hidden" in the popular video game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas," and are demanding action from either the government or the game's maker.

What's up with the quote marks? It's actually hidden, no? Not "hidden"??

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

I guess the quotation marks refer to how trivial it is to find, once you know how, and is casting aspersions on the development team and the integrity of the publishers.

Jeans day for me too. That's all I'm sure of. Must eat, then think.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yay! I'm at work!

Yay! Natter!

One of those "yays" doesn't belong....

The evil is this way?

Is it midnight yet? And why can't I get the newest "Harry Potter" if it's midnight SOMEWHERE? I mean, I'm pretty sure it's midnight by now in New Zealand or Australia or the "Lost" Island. What's the point of time zones if I can't get them to work for me for a change?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

A friend who owns a bookstore has had the books in her store for 3 days. She's said that it was like having illicit drugs, like she could have gone on to the street and whispered, "Hey,kid, I got some Harry Potter."

Oh, you hate to hear about things like this, shunning and the snub direct. Obviously your camera and your computer were at a party somewhere, and your camera got into the booze and barfed on your computer's new pants and didn't apologize, and it's been a downward spiral ever since.

Did she read it? Is she interested in it?

Can I borrow yours when you're done, Kat?
