Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Okay, I admit it, I don't get the BSB or boy bands in general. But this cracks me up (it's a video, fyi).

I wish my boss would bring her dog to work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm tempted to bring my cat to work. But there's a bazillion places he could hide. Also, he doesn't like dogs - the last time a friend brought a dog over, my cat immediatly charged the dog and clawed the dog's nose.

Besides, my cat sleeps during the day anyway....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can't believe how those kids have blown up -- they were showing them on VH1 or something the other day!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The Iraq War as text adventure game:

Oval Office
You are standing inside a White House, having just been elected to the presidency of the United States. You knew Scalia would pull through for you.

There is a large desk here, along with a few chairs and couches. The presidential seal is in the middle of the room and there is a full-length mirror upon the wall.

What do you want to do now?

> INVADE IRAQ
You are not able to do that, yet.

> LOOK MIRROR
Self-reflection is not your strong suit.

> PET SEAL
It's not that kind of seal.

Bwah!

Good thing no one's nearby to hear me laugh....

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I bring my cat to work at the costume shop, and sometimes it is OK (like when there are a lot of students to keep him entertained) and sometimes it is CRAZY. He has a playpen I can put him into, though, so I can keep him off the costumes when I need to.

Fuck. I did a dumb thing.

Last night, I lay in my bed reading fron about 7:00 until about 1:00 a.m. There really wasn't adequate light for me to be reading, as I found myself straining to read some of the time. (Was too lazy to hunt down another lamp.) Now I'm discovering that I'm having some difficulty reading the monitor. Yeah, the vision in my good eye is a little blurry. I'm guessing that this is not related to what's going on in the other eye, as the blurriness is uniform. Probably I strained my eyes too much last night, right?

I'm gonna take a walk to the grocery store just so I can have a break from staring at the computer screen. I really don't want to take the rest of the day off, but I'm thinking maybe I should.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I just had the urge to start chucking things at my coworkers, who are a) asking me for an estimate on well I'll get something, at which point I indicate my clusterfucked desk and give them the crazy eyes, or b) asking where my boss is, the answer obviously being NOT IN OUR OFFICE, JACKASS.

I should probably should eat something.
