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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Cool! A friend of mine actually has written something for a show on Sunday. I haven't seen him in about 6-7 years so I might surprise him.

That looks like a lot of fun. I wish I could come with (there is no way I'll be back from family thing in time)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

In other words, I thought it was a "he doesn't know which grant he applied for and, thus, if there's a conflict" issue, rather than a "he's just now realizing his group applied for well known X-grant, same as us" issue.

Having been in this situation before, I think it's premature to rule out "Big Wig came up with the idea to apply on our own late last night and we haven't made a final decision yet" either.

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

How cool is this? Combine that with a Lush glitter bath, and it's like a disco in your tub. Which reminds me -- last time I went to Lush they told me the FDA had clamped down on the Fairy Jasmine bath bomb. Which made me realise it's the only one of their fun bath products I actually like, and I was sad.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I lost my wallet on the way to work. A little wallet-getting-back-ma wouldn't be a bad thing just now.

FWIW, I cancelled my credit card and put a hold on my ATM card, which are the only items that could cause severe hardship. I may even be able to run over to the RMV at lunch and see about a replacement license. ::sighs::

I'm going to have to go buy a dozen fairy jasmine's, aren't I? Fuckers.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

One of our account execs just sent an e-mail to Big Boss saying I have an amazing turnaround time, and that our customers are commenting on how wonderful I am to work with.

Of course you have an amazing turnaround time. It's not like you work your ass off, or anything.

And I guess stifling all of those moments of homicidal rage worked out.

Wait, what's wrong with the fairy jasmine?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Let shrift be an example to us all.

Oh, it's totally that.

Good luck, Theodosia! Someone here had her purse stolen the other day, she sent a scathing email to everyone in the world, and it was "found" a couple of days later.

Swouncing

Maybe I should've gone into acting?

shrift, it's like Dana said. You're working so hard, it has to show up, one way or another.

Wallet-getting-back-ma for Theo. With minimum paperwork mess, too.
