Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Just to prove it can be done:

Today is our twentieth wedding anniversary. We survived a kid, the job markets of one point one Bushes and a Reaganomics, multiple sclerosis, and numerous rescued cats.

Now we're officially working on the next twenty.

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

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

The work deluge has finally hit. I'll probably be gray (aside from brief destressing visits) until sometime in September or until I defeat a balrog, whichever comes first.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Calli -- don't forget nc-istas are available for RL down time...

After 8.5 months of temping, a LOT of hard work on the part of my incomparable bosslady, one really awkward interview and two weeks of agonizing limbo....

I. got. my. job.

I'm going to be a real employee as of Aug. 25th.

God bless, I'm so excited right now.

I'm taking my driving test this afternoon. This may not sound like a big deal, but I'm 35 and only testing for the second time (phobias are a bitch). Any driving-ma folks can spare around 3:40 PM board time would be appreciated.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

The position I was hoping for now has web design (not program management) as the highest priority. I don't really think it is realistic to hope for this.

Going dark now-ish. Heading back to Chicago this weekend for VividCon. Back Monday.

(Also? Will be attending DragonCon again this year, if any Buffistas are going & wanna meet up.)

Massive power outage just hit Eastern seaboard, in case you're suddenly missing your favorite Buffista.

In other news, this t-shirt my friends and I made and are now selling will be featured on CNN tomorrow night at 7 p.m.
