hissssss, snarl

Someone remind me that reading the LJ posts of a local Gothic Model is a bad thing to do? That she's a sweet, if dim, girl, and that when she says things like I've been thinking about when I should stop modeling. 35? Seriously though, who wants to see a puffy wrinkled girl in her late 30's wearing stuff she shouldn't? that she is completely unaware that people she knows are older and heavier than her. Must. not. smite.

I'm getting writer's cramp from doing 13 different FedEx labels. (No, my firm doesn't use the convenient computer printed ones.)

I guess not. I don't even know what that is.

Google, damn ye!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bwahaha @@ hahaha @@

I feel the need to report on how productive I was at work today. By the end of the day, I had a pile of 33 finished proposals ready to go out (17 pages each), plus one other thing. I didn't do all that much work, but I sure had a lot to show for it at the end.

In totally other news, a friend of mine got West Nile!

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

Monkey-Lizards of the Triassic

And for a few million years near the end of the Triassic, one strange group of reptiles could be found climbing through the treetops. This group was so well-adapted for an arboreal lifestyle that they have been named the Simiosauria, or Monkey-Lizards.

Ten years ago - Washington Post article on Microsoft's exciting new Windows 95: [link]

You can hide under a bridge, row a boat to the middle of the ocean or wedge yourself under the sofa, cover your ears and then hum loudly. But get near a newspaper, radio, television or computer retailer today and you will experience the multimillion-dollar hype surrounding the launch of Windows 95.

Microsoft Corp. is spending about $300 million to trumpet the arrival of Windows 95, an upgraded operating system, the software that tells the machinery inside your personal computer what to do. Marketing mavens believe the all-out media blitz is the largest product advertising campaign ever. Print ads – from both Microsoft and increasingly giddy computer retailers – have been inescapable over the past few weeks.

But why not? It's so eeeeaaaasy. And they save your addresses so you don't have to retype them every time.

Jilli, smite her ass!

new commute?

GOOD! Even from the busiest part, going 'cross town, it didn't take more than 30 minutes and I'm home before 4:00 even if I leave at 3:30 or later.

Life does not suck.

And DAMMIT! I blame ita! It's 1000 degrees.

Heh. She deleted the post. I'm hoping she re-read it and realized that maybe, just maybe, she was being a twit.

I've been thinking about when I should stop modeling. 35? Seriously though, who wants to see a puffy wrinkled girl in her late 30's wearing stuff she shouldn't?

How old is she? Because I'm thinking she doesn't have the faintest idea, really, what 35 looks like. (And by 35, of course, I mean porn.)

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

I blame ita! It's 1000 degrees.

I am responsible, yes.

It's only 85 or so here, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

Which is also decide to look for the papers (they weren't where I thought!) or lie down.
