Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

[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.

Thanks all. It really does feel awesome. Such a gift, I tell you what.

And a perfect counter to what I finally did for myself today. I'm good at my work, but I have struggled and sucked at putting together an image package/effective website/attractive wording/snappy materials for my business. In fact, I sort of suck at business in general.

Ironically, I've helped loads of entre and intra-preneurs improve their standing and enjoy their worklives more. Me? Not so much.

So today I gathered up all my pride and went begging to a couple of women I know who are awesome at pr and visuals. I've told them that I'm so paralyzed in this process, I don't even really care what they come up with...if it works, I'll do it. I'm that ready.

The truth is, I've helped each of them in the past...But somehow it feels different, since my service is so natural, to ask for material assistance in return. Regardless of my resistance though, I need help...no foolin'...and admitting that is a bit unsettling. But there you have it.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I just had a discussion with a couple co-workers about Napoleon Dynamite , which seems to be quite the polarizing movie. So I pose the question to the Bitches: Napoleon Dynamite: Pro or Con?

I'm Pro-Napoleon Dynamite. I just saw it again on Comedy Central recently and it made me LAFF.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'm pro.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Napoleon Dynamite: Pro or Con?

So very, very, very con. It's part of that whole "My high school experience was a beautiful and unique snowflake and NOBODY HAS EVER MADE A FILM ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE" school of filmmaking that makes my teeth itch.

(Granted, it's my own fault for reading the director's statement before the movie started, but it was right there in the screening notes! There were words on a page and they were in front of me...I was helpless...)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Beej, that's awesome.

I am con-Napoleon Dynamite, just from the previews I've seen of it and being the bar while it's playing. It's just... aggravating for me.

Beej, that's wonderful!

I am con-Napoleon Dynamite without ever having actually seen it. The previews I've seen and what I've been told by friends leads me to believe that I would hate it, and probably want to smack everyone in the movie.

I think it's a very conventional film about an ugly duckling, but because of the deadpan narrative tone, kids saw it as hip and modern and took it to heart. It isn't special, but it's great fun. That being said, it has some fantastic lines, fun vignettes and I love the ending.
