Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Blah blah, life-affirming.

Kids today. If it doesn't have death or revenge, it must not be "cool".

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I feel like

life is fragile and random, and death is just a whisper away at all times,
anyway. Stories of close-call survival give me hope, I guess, because they remind me that it is possible to survive even when the odds are against you. Life is unfair, but because it's random, it's just as likely to be unfair to my advantage.

My monitor here at work makes all the letters very very small. I can't see what I'm typing.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

My dazzling personality and unparalleled beauty.

But since I can't have that, I may just have to go and get myself a sandwich.

Punishingly Intricate

Best Soup Ever

The sandwich place around the corner from where I worked in SF had this thick, creamy, salty delicious mushroom soup with wild rice.

(I can't remember the name of the place dammit. I worked at 333 Bush...and it was around the northwest corner from my office.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Death + revenge = cool. This is reason number one why Dana is not a million selling gangsta rapper today.

Number one? Are you really sure about that? Are you sure it's not closer to reason number three?

I have no problem with fictional death + revenge. I would like you people not to be involved with either, ever. Although I'd still trip my ex-coworker if I could get away with it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I have had so many many nice things done for me in my life that it amazes and delights me to think of it. From letting me crash on a friend's couch for months to the BF buying me a DVD of a movie I love bcause he happened to see it in the store, I feel I have been given a LOT in my life. I am very lucky.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Ooooh, best soup for me is lentil soup at Marena's. Though Campbell's tomato soup (with grilled cheese sandwich) is still my comfort meal.

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

I can't remember the last time I felt life-affirmed. I'm just not that sort of a gal. I don't need affirmation. Life just is. Until it's not.

Dana, ha!

beth b summed up my athiest/agnostic feelings perfectly.

The best sandwiches have lots of mayonnaise on them.

I need to quit posting and get back to work. I'm sick of editing. I'm sure this article on multi-mode quad-band RF receivers would be fascinating to another electrical engineer, but I'm so bored. I wish the English were good enough I could away with not having to actually read it.
