This is totally not a rent party. This is my former boss, who is a professional woman in her 40s. She owns her own home and doesn't need to worry about covering her mortgage.

Perkins, itching around a wound usually indicates that you're healing.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Thanks for the happies, everyone.
I have discovered that Bob Marley is the perfect music to listen to while working on a production of Oliver at a jewish community center. Who knew?
And I can report that B&J's Dublin Mudslide ice cream is teh YUM!
Perkins, I've had bruises that I only discovered because they itched. They seemed to heal at about the same rate as any other bruise.
Oh, and btw... You Rock!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
In college there was the occasional cover charge for a party, but I don't think I've run into it since. I associate rent parties with Langston Hughes because he made them seem so fun.
ita, Old Navy had fairy wings on sale for 1/2 off. It's like they were thinking of you.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Back. No Fitzmas plays, though they did have a "Top 5 Less Embarassing Nicknames than Scooter" countdown to start the clock. Two Rosa Parks plays, though.
Also, one of my favorite ensemble members has returned after a several year hiatus. I was pleasantly surprised.
Nothing particularly Halloweeny tonight. I'm not sure if the website needs to be updated or they only do Halloween shows on Halloween.
The Neo-Futurists? TMLMTBGB? I am whimpering with envy.
That would be them, JZ. My friends and I used to go once every month or so, but lately it's only been a couple times a year. It's still a lot of fun, but the hour drive home at 1am is getting more burdensome as the years pass.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

From way back....
Only individuals who are entitled to a state funeral ( by law, presidents, former presidents, presidents-elect, or anyone designated for one by the current president) can be said to "lie in state" in the Capitol Rotunda. All others who are accorded the honor "lie in repose."
The services for Rosa Parks have not been designated a state funeral.

It's one of those pieces of trivia that has stuck with me from when I worked on the Hill.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Oh, happy birthday aurelia!
I thought I typed it, but it turns out I just thought it.
Gah. Can't sleep. Woke up to Ruby puking on the kitchen throw rug. Poor sick kitty.

Is it very late or very early over there, Allyson?
Also, poor sick kitty. They do know how to be dramatic with the vomiting, don't they?

I'm not sure. It's in the middle between late and early. It's 3AM.
She was dramatic, yes. Then she drank a lot of water, rolled on the floor and showed me her belly, and then hung out on the window sill.
Me? I'm thinking about whether I should lie down and hope sleep comes, or give in to fate and start dusting or some other quiet chore that won't wake the neighbors. Hate. This.

Oh blergh. I've suffered from insomnia for exactly one week in my entire life, and I still fear it. And feel for the more regular sufferers. Have you tried the old standbys? Hot milk? Quiet music? Trying to read economic theory textbooks? One of those will usually work for me.
I vote go lie down. And turn off any clocks in your bedroom.
