It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I was wondering if anyone was watching. Is it good??

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's a lot of clips, but still fun. Some of the clips they're showing are the extra scenes off the website.

What is it that Tim says is "Bullshit" ?

Guadalupe seriously goes off in a torrent of bizarreness, not responding to the question, not making sense.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Ugh. So I asked my boss about the meeting tomorrow and why the rest of the team wasn't invited. She said she didn't know and that as far as she knew there had been no meetings about the restructuring planned with anyone but us. Feeling of dread has passed beyond vague.

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

Guadalupe must be on drugs.

ION, Project Jay is so fun. Really, he's so talented and so funny I'll be crushed if it turns out he's not that guy. I read an interview where he said he wanted to do mass market, making like $25 t-shirts-- please, please Jay McCarroll, do a deal with Target. That would be AWESOME. There's no shame in it! You can still do a couture line!

Not really Galapagos

Dooode. Lupe was totally high on something not natural.

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

Kalshane, I hope that works out for the not-bad for you.

My performance review had to be split into two meetings. It was...interesting. I asked her to be specific about stuff, and was surprised to see that I hadn't adequately demonstrated my technical knowledge. Apart from writing code for demos and working closely with the development teams to parse requirements? Well, I hadn't demonstrated it to management. Apart from showing them the demos I'd written?

Then the topic changed.

My review's in stone, but so are my objections to two major portion--I went on record for the first time.

The meetings went well, considering.

Aurelia! Ducks falling! I'm not sure why I find that so funny, but a cousin had a story (very sad to her) about a duckling from a school project that fell down a flight of stairs in their house to its death, and try as I may, I can't not laugh. It's just...I know, cruel person, but still. How does a wee duck fall down a flight of stairs anyway? And then the cousin's insistence that the ducklings had been switched at school because her duckling knew better...I actually fell off my chair when she told it to me, and couldn't sit upright for minutes.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh ita, I've had to do that before, I mean put my objections on record. It sucks. Left a bad taste in my mouth.

I'm cruel too. I couldn't help but laugh when I was told about someone I knew who was being all cool, jumped off his bunk bed and accidently stomped his wee kitten. I still don't know why I laughed. I was horrified, but at the same time--he was such a dork!
