I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Also, I got to see you in October, so I shouldn't complain.

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

OK, I'm off to get schmutz on my forehead.

(It's either now or never, and I suppose I should make a stab at being a decent Catholic today.)

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

Ow, my head!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hec, see? Take that back RIGHT NOW, and apologize to the poor camel!

You know what's going to happen when Lee tries to normalize using you as the baseline? I just move Lee over into the freaky category. Same with Nora.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

My perq at the theatre is free laundry.

Sophia wins. Best perq in the history of ever.

Today's Ash Wednesday homily at our neighborhood church began thus:

Dust we are and to dust we shall return. This knowledge is even more inescapable in modern times than ever, now that we know that our very bodies are made of stardust billions of years old, that we are the product of eons and eons of evolution, that we can trace our ancestry through ancient primates, that our origins are as humble as humus [um, that's dirt, not the tasty garbanzo-based dip].

Probably wouldn't go over so well in Kansas City, but I liked it...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Btw, does anybody have a favorite Flickr account that's not their own?

I keep finding cool stuff in there.

Like Jeff Heerman's vintage pulp paperbacks.

Which links you into the Mid-Century Illustrated Pool

Vintage styles from Daily Wear

Also, I really love the groups that have photos of urban decay.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Oh, I don't know, Matt. I just got a complaint from a worker that the free fruit in the breakroom had too many apples and not enough oranges. The fruit is for regular folks, not execs. And did I mention it was free?

Free food should be complained about if and only if:

(1) It's food one cannot eat, and therefore one is forced to do without while watching others eat, or
(2) It comes bundled with Montezuma's revenge as a bonus afterwards.

Perqs here include free coffee and fixings, spring water, and the bonus vacation week which is roughly equal to the annual cash bonus we didn't get as far as the company's expenditure is concerned (though I can't use it to pay off credit cards as I would have the bonus).

I am checking my e-mail, b.org, livejournal, and staring forlornly at my work inboxes waiting for something to do.

You could write porn!

Shrift! Imagine the antics Major Lorne could get into trying to convince someone to be the life model for his painting...

I just move Lee over into the freaky category. Same with Nora.

You say this like it's a bad thing!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just move Lee over into the freaky category. Same with Nora.

You guys see how I stay out of the category? Burrell and I are slick like that.

Damn! What happened to my nap????

Best perq in the history of ever.

Oh, god, I'd never take my dirty laundry near my coworkers.
