Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Sophia, I have a one-bedroom apt., electric stove, TV, computer, etc. I have window unit a/c in the living room and bedroom, and I do not pay heat.

Here's what my utility provider says my usage has been for the past 12 months:

10/05/2005 604
09/06/2005 761
08/05/2005 672
07/07/2005 694
06/07/2005 572
05/06/2005 308
04/07/2005 328
03/08/2005 244
02/07/2005 280
01/07/2005 307
12/06/2004 306
11/03/2004 254

As you can see from the huge jump in the summer, I am a total WHORE for air conditioning, and I'm willing to pay for it.

A/C is a very good thing.

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

I have a headache, and I'm arguing with my boss about combining SQL inner and outer joins in a single stored procedure with three tables. Can I go home?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Can I go home?

Yes. But only if I don't have to go to work today. (I really should already be there)

Now I just chased my other boss's dog down and took a piece of gum from her. Somehow, taking gum from puppies seems more fun than arguing about SQL.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thanks Steph-- That is very helpful.

Perhaps a litte (PG-ish) non-worksafe, but only if you're especialy paranoid.

Er. Well, it's not porn, but there is a picture I don't really want my coworkers to see.

But then theatre-going folk will be deprived of a well-lit show! Won't someone think of the children?!?

Okay then.

I want to build a rail gun. Will you help me?

One of those phrases that brings unholy chaotic glee into my life.
