Let shrift be an example to us all.

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.

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.

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.

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

there's a Lush here, so I can buy and send if someone must have it.

Woohoo! I just heard from a guy who found my wallet, sans $$$, but with most of my IDs intact, et cetera. Will coordinate with him at lunchtime to get it back....

Geez, I need to add, the Buffista-ma is strong today....

According to the fda site, Lush "Bath Salts" have the following violations:

A week ago I had a filling fall out of a tooth. I think I ended up biting down on it, as another tooth has been damaged as well. Soon I will go to the dentist, where there will be drilling and filling.

I'm so tired. Maybe I can fall asleep on the chair while he's drilling.

Huh. Dentists should make allowances for their patients to use a laptop while being worked on. Tooth repair watch-n-post!

0.42 EUR.

A Euro is divided into 100 Cents, just like a Dollar, so he would just be 42 Cent.

the quality of the 50¢ movie, but I'm startled by the vitriol it's garnering.

All I care is that I get to find out the real name of another bemusingly-nicknamed rap star. "Curtis Jackson" is not all that exciting as names go, but I hold out a hope that someday a rap star will be exposed as Mervin Finkelbeem.

(I have not heard any vitriol, but I have not been paying attention. I know Dave Letterman had him on, and remarked on the number of times he has been seriously injured, and said something like, "Yeah, I've never been shot, but I did have tennis elbow once.")

Here we go: "Fairy Jasmine" contains "Non-permitted color additive Red 2G, formerly certifiable as D&C Red No. 11."
