Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

A marketeer among us?

OK, I can do that, because I am all diverse and shit.

This weekend: Not chewing my nails while The Client reviews my last submission, because I am supremely confident that my mojo is stronger than The Client's mojo. Of course, The Client's mojo is geographically closer to him, so there might be an inverse-square thing going on with the mojo.

I might nibble at this one hangnail that is starting to bug me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

New in-town TJ's? Woot! Now to see if the Metro goes there.

Trader Joe's DC report:

It's on 25th and L, just a few blocks from the Foggy Bottom metro stop. It was bigger than I expected, but not huge -- one aisle of fruits and vegetables and fancy cheese, a bakery section and a dairy section in the back, a freezer aisle with open freezers that really don't seem to be keeping the food frozen, and two or three aisles of other grocery stuff. Plus a wine section which looked pretty decent. They had a pretty good selection of most stuff, though they seemed to be having trouble keeping the shelves stocked -- there were employees restocking the shelves everywhere, and still a bunch of empty places that they hadn't gotten to yet. It was pretty crowded, but they had the lines going pretty quickly.

I got a pretty good assortment of stuff. They didn't have exactly what I was looking for (kale), but I got an OK substitute (chard.) I also got some blueberry cheese, which looks yummy, though I haven't tried it yet.

What am I doing this weekend? Curling up with cramps. Joy. At least I don't have to talk to customers during the worst of it.

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

Absolutely, Lee.

Oh, I worked out that tabbed format and sent the super-spiffed status report out to upper management. I think it was lovely. I should get a raise.

Of course, I cornered one of the big bosses about his use of the terms "static" and "dynamic" in reference to content. I believe semantics are very important for consistent communications. At least here. The industry already defined them.

Oh, my. Gesture of aggression, or accident?

Little of both. She didn't take off her pants and squat or anything, but her accidents have a flavor of rebellion. Luckily on a wood floor.

And you've sent me ones that qualify before too. I just need to work out how to label and present it so I don't get creepy approaches and pictures.

It hasn't been too bad so far. I had one guy send me a naked picture of himself, and one other try and ask me about how much I like men's feet. As long as any fetishists don't over-share, over-inquire, or over-demand, I'm good.
