Yuck, ita. At least there's a big picture of Colin in my Metro this morning: [link]
msbelle's early days make me think of my colleague who lives in CA but works on NY time, by choice. It freaks me out every time I realize I'm talking to her at 6am.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was so insanely edgy last night, I took myself offline. And then twitched about the apartment. Partially the mugginess outside, partially end of vacation, partially just twitch. Even tried a nap and just woke up annoyed I didn't just sleep through until morning. FUN.
Today, I will remain in denial about the nasty outside.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, e-mailed in working from home. Now I just have to make sure I'm on top of it for the 9am meeting. Whose stupid idea was...oh, right.

OK, so I get into work and all the database lookups that worked yesterday are not working. Buh?
I'm going to go get me a donut and try again in a few. Donuts fix db problems, right?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You have to run this:
INSERT Donut INTO database_thingie
WHERE Sucky(lookups) = True;

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
INSERT Donut INTO database_thingie

INSERT Donut INTO database_programmer

Or better still:
INSERT Donut INTO database_programmer
WHERE Filling = Nummy;

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Good morning, all. Theo (and Emily) can attest that I have new hair! Or, same hair, trimmed back to where it ought to be. It's a little bit bombshellish, a little bit unruly. And the nice part is, those tiny shaved hairs at my nape.
I love having short hair. Don't love getting off my duff and getting it cut regularly, but love the results.

I celebrate the day!
