There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I got the job! Pending the results of my background check, I will have offer letter in hand no later than Monday.
I hereby pass my luck on to Consuela, Teppy, Theo, and anyone else who needs it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
If any Buffistas are or are planning on doing GISHWHES, i'm signing up this evening (which is pretty close to the deadline), and would love to be on a team with more people I know than people I don't.

I have an article accepted in the peer reviewed Review of Radical Political Economics (RRPE).
It is a critique of an 'improved' carbon trading proposal. I will post a link when it is published. Upon initial publication it will be behind a paywall, but then after a year I can put an electronic copy on-line for free access. So I will post the first link upon publication, the second once the year has passed.

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

I'm home. Vacation is over and I am sad.

It's done. I've officially resigned from the job from hell. They're not sure yet how long they want me to stay on.

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

Could I get some good karma and car~ma for friends of mine (and Nora's)? Their tale of woe is long and spans years; last week they packed the van to move to CA and regroup, only their car broke down before they even crossed the state line and they're stuck in a highway motel for probably another week while their insurance and warranty play hot potato with paying for repairs. Just in the last month there have been ER visits (yes, plural) and now the house they're selling here was broken into and some things taken.
So please, direct what extra good thoughts you can summon towards Lake Charles. Thanks.
