It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

What is even happening?

Kat (or anyone else who might know)...

Is the illustrator Christopher Myers (who is also the author of Black Cat) the son of Walter Dean Myers (author of many children's and YA books)? I notice CM has illustrated some of WDM's books.

eta...

Never mind. It looks like he is. I must have used bad search terms at first.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Resume question:

How do I write that I designed a logo for Tim's production company and proof scripts? Where would that even go? I'm not employed by him, just something nice I do/did for a friend, but it sounds too fancy to leave off, right?

Where does it go? How would i descibe it?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I would put it under a special skills or projects heading. You could put various things that were more individual projects/special cases.

ThinkProgress has an excellent overview of the flaws in the Health Savings Account healthcare plan that W is going to push in his State of the State address tomorrow. Here's hoping that this "benefit" goes the same way as his Social Security overhaul last year.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Anne!

I went to college in Philadelphia, but that was :mumble, mumble: years ago, and my knowledge of the city since then is rather limited.(Basically just the Philcon hotels, which probably doesn't help)

Why couldn't they have warned me?

GA has a way of pushing my button of the week. Maybe I just have a lot of buttons.

Question:

The stuff I've written for Popgurls...are those clippings? Otherwise, I have no clippings. Which just doesn't seem right.

Ok, I'm going to be talking to the controller soon to discuss the position. I'm really excited and really quite terrified. I mean, I moved to LA, sight unseen, but....that was months in the planning. This could happen in February.
