Not as often as I would like. I work the early shift on Tuesdays, and I have to be at work at 7:30.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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

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
It's filled with Buffista goodness!
I feel like Dorothy.
I wrote a book! And you were there, and you were there, and you were there....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Allyson, seriously, this is super awesome for many of us as well, as gift-giving for many people suddenly becomes way way easier.
I have got to get my ass to bar trivia somewhere at some point.

He told my agent they just really want to work with me. I'm still melty.
That's very exciting and encouraging and rather a nice extra bit of frosting to make up for all the waiting!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

We need to do this.
Still so pleased for Allyson! Not that it was such a surprise.

The editor said they haven't published a memoir before, this is new ground for them. He told my agent they just really want to work with me. I'm still melty.
This? Priceless. But I'm sure you're glad they are paying you.
Eagerly awaiting further news on this as it comes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
LOTR musical a hit with preview audiences:
No matter that the first preview performance of Lord of the Rings -- at Toronto's Princess of Wales Theatre -- suffered a couple of technical glitches that forced the show to stop for 15 minutes or so. And no matter that, when the curtain finally fell on the $27-million musical adaptation of the classic Tolkien novels, nearly five hours (including 50 minutes worth of intermission, accompanied by drinks and snacks on the house) had elapsed.
Although there were a handful of walkouts when the clock neared 11 p.m., interviews with audience members conducted before, during and after the show -- the Globe and Mail was the only media organization invited to actually watch the show -- suggest that this epic production will go a long way toward satisfying the enormous appetite for the inhabitants of Middle Earth.
"It's a thing of great beauty," said entertainment lawyer Brian Wynn, after the show ended with a standing ovation. "But the world needs to know what the concept is. It's not a musical. It's not a Stratford production. It's somewhere in between. If you come expecting a new Les Miz or Oklahoma -- it's not. But I think they've pulled out the poetry and the themes better than the movies."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Sigh. I really need to stop checking my work email from home. I just got told I really shouldn't be helping out the NY staff with something in the evenings, even though 8 months ago I got criticized for not helping them out with the same thing.

Hey, congrats, Allyson! That's huge!
