I am now very sad that nobody brought me sushi and fries for lunch.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I have been craving sushi for a week. I'm getting some on Sat., but not before and you people are not helping me wait.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Now I want fries. Not sushi so much, since I had some last night.
Huh. That looks like English, and yet, the words make no sense.

Note to self: never date an emotion researcher. It will only end in bloodshed.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
But you figured out who I really am, right?
Yes, indeedy. How's Little Jandek?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And I realize I'm a liar, since the sushi was Tuesday night. This whole week, I've had no idea what day it is, which makes no sense because I've known what class I had and stuff, I just dissociated the fact that I had my Wednesday classes from the fact of it actually being Wednesday. I am so cracked out right now.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
Speaking of research, I recently read an amazing article attributing qualities of various Greek gods to CEOs...
Getting paid to compare CEOs to Greek Gods is one hell of a business plan.

Hey Spidra! Welcome back. Come play in the music thread.
I Tivoed all three showings of the Isaac show to make certain that I caught Jesse.

I wish I could see that Greek god thing. /mythology buff
Holiday times kinda drive folks nuts with depression and consumerism. Though I'm choosing not to go to the family celebration this year (for my own sanity), I'm definitely prone to depression. Luckily, I capitulated to my poverty a number of years ago and no longer go through the craziness of getting together lots of cards and gifts. That keeps things saner. I'm also pretty isolated from major media and malls so I don't get burned out on some things. I thought I'd enumerate the things I dig about this season:
- Lights. Holiday lights, especially candles.
- Trees, garlands, winter-blooming and fruiting plants. Some bigwigs used our office for a meeting so they decorated the back conference room with garlands of evergreens (some conifers, some not) and little mandarin oranges. It looked lovely.
- Better food in the office kitchen (as long as you're not on a diet. Which I won't attempt until Jan.)
- Holiday movies (It's a Wonderful Life, Holiday Inn...)
- Baking
- The ritual of making house calls and greeting friends

Howdy, Hec! I''ll probably play tentatively at first. I'm not up-to-date with music and haven't been for years so I feel a little like I have not-so-much to contribute. Also, I turned 40 in Sept. and I think my lifestyle, etc. have finally made me have to admit it. I'M MIDDLE-AGED.
Eek!
