So you're saying you work with my mom?
Yes. Next I expect our clients to call me up and yell at me for something I forgot to do for them in a dream they had last night.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

That's entirely possible. Also, she'll bake you a cheesecake and then nag you about watching your weight. But on the upside, cheesecake.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I am very excited to here that I am not the only one waiting for an electrician. who should be here in about 15 minutes. I am also haveing groceries delivered between 11 and 3 - which means since they aren't here yet they will have to go in the garage fridge. I hate waiting for people to show up.

DHL.com tells me that my new mini mac is "with delivery courier." It does not tell me where the delivery courier is.
This is like when I was a kid on Christmas Eve, calling the Santa hotline every 15 minutes to figure out where the fuck he was already.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
They talk a lot about the lighting and film color-correction based on which sun/s are in the sky at what angle. (Commentary track).
Do they talk about where the backlighting is coming from in the scenes where the only light sources are the candles the characters are holding in front of them? Or why there's light spilling onto the vehicles and reflecting off the rain in the scenes which supposedly give the film its title?
God that movie drove me nuts. So, so sloppy.
The better electrician is working in the kitchen now. There is no yelling. Hopefully he'll be done quickly so I can go get some lunch.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
UPS.com tells me my TiVo is sitting on the front porch. Now I get to worry all afternoon about whether it will still be there when I get back.

people thinking things in my direction and then forgetting to actually tell me.
That would be my mom, yes indeed.
Yay Sophia!
I just got email from the hiring manager I sent my resume to. He wanted to let me know that the team is currently swamped under a very ugly deadline, but that he will look at resumes & contact people next week.
Aaaaaand a recruiter called & left voicemail on the home number about a position she'd like to talk to me about. I guess I should go update my six-months-out-of-date resume on Monster.com if recruiters are calling me out of the blue.
Today = very odd.

That's why I'm working from home today. I was afraid they wouldn't leave it. Or that they'd leave it and I'd never see it again.
