Thanks for the rec, JZ.
Bear in mind, she's still angling for those Eyes episodes...
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've already committed to the Eyes episodes, and just asked for her address to mail them to her. Admittedly, a little behind my stated schedule, but if a concussion doesn't buy me a little time, I think her angling for the nice list fails quite miserably.

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
Your downstairs neighbor should send you a "thank you for not pooping into my apartment" bouquet of flowers, Matt. Seriously, you're being really nice about it all.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
HEY! GUY I WORK WITH!
When you change policy from how I've been doing things for well over a year (and let's not talk about the tears, blood, and pain it caused me to get them to where they are), LET ME KNOW. And by that I mean actually sit me down, say "This is how we are changing things and this is why." and not by just telling me to do something I have previously gotten into trouble for and when I question it saying, "Just do it, please." and sighing very loudly at me.
Eff you.

Does FTD make that bouquet?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Damn the schedule, I'm just delighted to be getting the episodes at all. The concussion is a totally acceptable excuse for, well, practically anything, from spending the weekend curled up on the cuddle lounge not mailing DVDs out on schedule up to and including the brutal murder of Asshole Portland Man and Matt's sewer people.

On another and much more utterly frivolous topic, may I ask for hivemind makeup advice? I'm aggrieved by most of my lipstick lately. All I want is one, just one, deep true red vampy/fresh-blood/40s noir actress lipstick, the more permanent the better. All the truest reds I have smear off within minutes, and all the super-permanent ones I've tried pink up on my lips, no matter how red they look in the tube.

Well, it honestly saves me a 3-hour commute and $20 in gas every day that I stay in Jonesboro, not to mention making Mom feel all needed, so it's not undiluted altruism on my part. But I do like having access to my own computer and home entertainment setup. I just think I like having access to functional plumbing more.

NARS Scarlet Empress. Line & color in your lips w/ a neutral, lip-colored lip liner, then apply the lipstick. Blot your lips on a tissue. Apply another coat, then blot again.
