Oh man -- there's this Ren Faire/D&D geek girl on What Not To Wear, who had been wearing her mother's old 80s suits for work and t-shirts the rest of the time, and it's hilarious watching Clinton and Stacy try to be supportive of her geekiness. As long as she's better dressed.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Wouldn't one buy/modify the software to bend to the way the user conducts business, and NOT make the user bend to software's fucked up idea of how other people do business?
Hmm. yeah, NSM in my experience. PeopleSoft! OMG, I haven't thought about that program for years. A nightmare, though, a useless nightmare. This is why we design very ugly, but useable databases and scripts from scratch in FileMaker for all our events. It ain't pretty, but it works, and we can fix it when it breaks.
SAP's big at the uni, but for different purposes.

I can't remember what the big db they use at my U., but I've never been so glad as when I learned, after the migrated all the fundraising info onto it from Raiser's Edge, that I no longer had access to it, due to being a student -- no more data entry, no more reports to run!

Mmmm. The 9th doctor can treat me any time.

OK, have you people (with cable) watched this "Can't Get A Date" show on VH-1? I don't know if they're always this awesome, but this might be my new favorite show. It's all about the voiceover guy, who turns out to be actually talking to the people.
I am refusing to think about what it says about me that I'm watching this show at midnight on Friday night.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hi there! This is Fay's cat, Daniel. I think that Fay had intended to post something witty and relevant, but after she visited the cute kitten/monkey pics the cuteness overwhelmed her, and she's now slumped face down on the table. I believe the term is 'Ded of teh cute.'
...so which of you guys is coming over to Egypt to feed me?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Ah wee Daniel. He's got mad typing skillz.
Also? I've got kibble.

Urgh. I've got to take Chumley to the vet for a shots & checkup visit in less than an hour. Why, exactly, did I think this was a good time to make an appointment for, weeks ago?
