Alanis and Ryan, not looking good: [link]
Why am I not writing my stupid op-ed? I cannot get my thoughts together.
This must be what going mad feels like.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I sometimes don't get people. Someone has code that isn't compliant with the acceptable contents in a field. Via a third party interface (since I don't own or run this database) I enter something that breaks the code.
Instead of a. fixing the code (really easy, you just need to replace newlines) or b. writing to the db admins, they ask me to ask the dbas to change it.
So of course I just forward it.
I work with a lot of people who do everything the hard way.
Also, is the fish in fish and chips just battered fish planks? For some reason, I always found planks weird. But then, I kinda find fish weird.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The truth hurts:
The Alanis Morrissette who deep-throated Dave Coulier in the back of a theater -- and then sang about it right before she misinformed an entire generation about the definition of "irony" -- would hate Alanis Jean King, her bangs, and her wilting perm. Last decade's Alanis would punch this one in the mouth and snap her glasses in two, and then use the shards as a sex toy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've never thought Alanis looked good, ever.
Ryan -- evidently not a guy who can be left up to his own devices. He needs Blade 4, stat. Which reminds me, I need Blade 3.
Vortex! I got distracted by work -- I actually have both the things you found, so I'm good.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
What's a fish plank?
Traditional fish'n'chips uses cod.

It's just...a plank. 3/4 " thick, often rectangular, but sometimes some sort of rhomboid....they just were always called planks by my elementary school cafeteria.

The truth hurts:
That's not the only thing that would hurt in that paragraph.

But I had to do frantic figuring to decide what I wanted to request.
Yeah, I haven't quite settled on what I want to request yet. And I need to see what made the final fandom list. Lost is a repeat tonight, so maybe I'll do that when I get home from my comics run.

OK, so said person sent around email saying it was ALL MY FAULT that the format is screwed up. Because his code can't remove a newline character. Good lord.
I'm not that fussed, it is just rather comical.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Can I get a reality check here? I'm trying to write something about how society has been fucking with women for 50 years, telling them "get a job!" "stay home with your babies!" "do both!" "pick one!" etc. So I'm going through with a couple of sentences about each decade (80s superwoman "having it all", 90s welfare reform sending poor single mothers back to work, etc.), and then I'm going to come to some kind of point about how the real success of feminism would be if each person really felt that he or she could decide how to live and what was important, without feeling put down by society.
Does that make any sense, or is it too jumbled?
