Oh gawd. My parents had an '84 Escort that I drove for a while in college. It would overheat on the highway, so you'd have to turn the heater on to help cool the engine. Once I was climbing a hill on the highway and the car was slowing down, so I floored it. It (eta: the automatic transmission) downshifted with such violence I felt like we'd run over a cinderblock. And even downshifted, it still did not have enough power to make it up the hill without slowing down more, pissing off those behind us (this was with four people in the car).
Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think
it was bad; it might have been Latin.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Holy shit. Our CEO just gave all of us iPod shuffles! I finally have an mp3 player that works! Without the ability to control exactly what I listen to, but STILL. I guess I finally have to install iTunes.
ALSO. I got a random financial award for my recent hard work or whatever. Damn, now I better actually work hard so I feel like I deserve it, shiiiiit.
Now I can totally afford that flat-screen TV and entertainment center my mom wants me to buy her.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Wow, congrats, P-C!

A very pretty, very lovely (as is her driver), very well-driven Zoe she is, too.

I think DH is haveing a review after 2 years of no review. of course, reviews are not connected to money - so weather or not they are worth anything depends on the boss

Hola Bitches.
Cindy, from waaaaaaaay back on Saturday (I've been away from the computer ever since), my mom is doing just fine. Her thyroid surgery is scheduled for January, after the holidays and multiple trips she has planned, one of which puts her her in LA to visit with S and I for several days. She lands Tuesday night and we see her Wednesday morning.
Also, I'm certain I know Omnis Audis, probably from working with him/her/it, but that doesn't narrow it down enough. I know too many other sound people through ND.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
You do know him, Seany.

I think that narrows it down a bit, Aims.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yay, P-C!!!!! I love it when employers recognize the hard work of their employees.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
P-C, don't make me link back to when you were working like 80 days straight without an actual permanant job offer! Hells yeah you deserve it. I'm happy that it was recognized!
