Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Still poor, but at least I have a rocking family.

Yay.

hip deep in pie

I just read a document created by my artistic director intended for stage management students to read to train them that contains so many abbrievaiations that my brain is spinning. There is the Production Manager (PM) the Production Stage Manager (PSM) the Props Master (PrM) the Assistant Props Master (AprM) the Assistant Production Manager (APM) the Assistant Stage Manager for Props (ASMPr). Then there is the Artistic Director (ArD), the Assistant Director (AD), the Assitant Wardrobe Coordinator (AWC), Audio Visual Engineer (AVI), the Assistant Stage Manager Costumes (ASMC)... and on and on

I think a lot of them are bullshit made up abbrevations. That would make me craxy.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Quick poll: Good idea or not?

I think it depends on the couple. I used to like getting flowers for unoccasions until I worked for a florist. Then I hated getting flowers, but only because I knew that the roses they were charging $60 for a dozen were being purchased wholesale for just over a quarter a piece.

Santa Terror!

JZ, I'm glad you have a sensible brother who thinks to tell you these things beforehand. t raises eyebrow in my brother's direction

I just got really really hungry. So I'm eating lunch now.

This could backfire.

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

I have a fairly gross question for a boy person or someone who knows boy people: If one goest to the bathroom and has to do number one AND number two does one tend to a) stand then sit; b) sit then stand; or c) sit for the entire production?

My apologies.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

is this because you're crushing so hard on Turing that you can't focus on anything else?

I wish. This is because I was up till 3 trying to read his math and write about it coherently.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Trudy, my understanding is that the answer is usually C

Oh, I agree. A lot of them are bullshit made-up jobs too... I am fine with ASM and ME, it is just the other ones...

I emailed him to tell him that if we are intending documents for students to read in lieu of us actually, you know, talking to them, perhaps we should make the document readable...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Trudy, it's C, but I can imagine a guy with prostate issues might have to resort to A or B.

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

A nice cup of tea.

And just so you guys know I do have boundaries, I recently stumbled across crime-scene pictures of three of Tookie Williams's victims, and I'm totally not propagating the link.
