I envy you the morning thing.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And I'm a morning person. It's kinda wasted on me.
Nah, I'll be enjoying the hell out of it while I can. Just because I'm a morning person doesn't mean I actually want to do stuff then. I never want to do stuff, morning or no.

I want to not do stuff too.
Thinks about evening
Heh. Never mind.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
ita: I have an idea. You should do the sleeping thing and tell us what crystal-clear clarity is like!

Ha. If sleeping cures the migraines, I'm in. Otherwise...not so much, with the either pain, memory of pain, or fear of pain. No time for crystal.

The status is NOT quo.

bon bon wins!

Damn. Well it was worth a try.
In all seriousness, ita, I hope that you get some time to not work before finding the perfect job. It is possible that not being so stressed constantly will help the migraines at least a little bit, right? Either way. I won't hug you (I like my pinky and the rest of me to remain intact), but I am wishing good things your way.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Good luck, ita. Having more or less taken off the summer before coming here, I kind of look back on that time as a much-needed relaxant after four years of crazily-paced work. So maybe scheduling a month for yourself is something good that is just for you, you know? Either way, I have nothing but confidence that things will work out for you.
It's morning, and everyone's in a meeting, and I'm not really sure what I should be doing. It's that weird line between responsibility and only being a temp. I'm not sure which direction to go in.

Man, I hope Jars gets back from the States quick. This posting by oneself business is eerie.
Thomas Allen makes really cool art:
A photographer based in Michigan, Allen's made a career of tearing other people's work apart. Literally. Armed with an X-acto knife, a stack of old paperbacks, and a camera, Allen works, as he says, to create new worlds. In his artist's statement, he writes: "I've always been fascinated by pop-up books, dioramas, 3-D glasses and the View Master for they all have the ability to picture false realities." Fitting, then, that he should use pieces of fiction in order to create new worlds of his own.

What is even happening?
I just about died laughing at this. Bonus points: mentions Joss!
Yes! I saw that, yesterday. One of the Fuggers wrote for TWoP once upon a time (maybe when it was still MBTV), and wrote the re-cap of The Replacement. Her description of Buffy's outfit in that recap left me breathless--with tears streaming down my face, the first time I read it.
