No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Natter 37: Oddly Enough, We've Had This Conversation Before.  

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 a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

There's Geri Jewell (I think that's her name) on Deadwood. She was on Facts of Life, it was all groundbreaking and stuff.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I pitched an additional Web site to a client (my first!) and was all happy when the PO came in.

Now I am staring at code and wondering what the hell I thought was such a good idea.

I took a call from him just now and I think I got us even more work. Wha??

It's like flirting with someone at a bar. It seems like a such a good idea and you're having a drink. There might be sparks. It might be the drinks though. Then suddenly you are looking at them and wondering how to leave.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah...I still follow stuff about her. Both she and Marlee Matlin are married to police officers...I thought that was interesting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

JJL would be great playing you, erika.

I totally hear you all with the "why did I just get myself more work??" because I did it recently, too. Luckily, they wanted me for the whole day, but I have an appt at 11, so I can sleep in, work part of Friday, and some Sunday, and be good to go.

I think I had a point when I started typing that post. Now I think I just want to be in a cool air-conditioned bar.

Of course, I told myself if I got freelance work this month, I'd buy new glasses, but I just got an email from my favorite store about their summer stuff being on sale, and I WANT IT.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Worst pain: Getting my cystic acne injected.

Worst pain: Mostly digestive, I gotta say. Apart from something emotional.

IBS. Turns out I don't like Demerol though. Made me paranoid.

I should really stop pretending to work today. I just built a graphic for this Web site. Hi-res vector. D'oh. Rastering the motha now. [Translation: I wrote something! In Portugeuse. For the Elbownians. D'oh! Dilberting the pretty words now.]

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Car accident featuring: fractured coccyx while laying on a back board (I was literally sitting in the hospital moaning, "my ass! my ass!" because I was pretty out of it) and no pain meds for the first few days since I had liver lacerations.
