Uh-huh. I'm sure I looked like such the Jennifer Hudson fangurl. And it was probably just some flunkie of the mayor's that I couldn't be near.

I don't know. Maybe Chicago has hot flunkies!

While I admit that James Marsters needed security at Dragon*Con, I wasn't someone they needed to worry about.

If I ever attend a con with David Hewlett as a guest, on the other hand, I might need a chaperone.

I have survived SSA. They wouldn't give me a number while I wait for the card, despite office outside of NYC doing that. But, I should have a card for mac in 2 weeks.

WHEE!

Also, I have ice cream.

ALSO ALSO! I had BONBON chicken for lunch. www.bonbonchicken.com

Also, you know what two words I'd like to strike from e-mail correspondence for at least a month?

Please advise.

My advice is to stab yourself in the face, okay?

I had Robin Eggs and M&Ms for b'fast and am about to have vanilla ice cream for lunch. I is an adult!

Kathy's job sounds awesome to work for. Allyson's NSM.

In just two weeks, mac will be able to get a job? Sweet!

I am so over my work trauma. I just had what should have been a traumatic meeting, but it's all still the same trauma I was going through a couple of weeks ago, so now I can't care anymore. I am forward-looking!

I love "please advise." I'm not sure it's passive enough to be passive aggressive, but I sure mean "I defer to you because you're an officious bitch, and I absolve myself of as much responsibility as possible wrt this clusterfuck. Your serve."

I kinda napped, kinda watched Heroes. Time to kinda eat lunch now, I guess.

Is this the korean chicken place? I have wanted some ever since reading about it in NYT! Also I think there's supposedly some good korean chicken places in your nabe.

Hey ita, when they teach you "defensive driving," are they gonna teach you stuff like bootlegger turns and how to ram cars out of the way when bad guys try to block you in? Because that would be fun.

Plus, you basically get to practice abusing a car that's not yours.

mac already has jobs, they are just unpaid:

get mail, feed cats at night, take dishes to sink, put coat and book bag and up after school, put toys up at night.

I'm not sure it's passive enough to be passive aggressive, but I sure mean "I defer to you because you're an officious bitch, and I absolve myself of as much responsibility as possible wrt this clusterfuck. Your serve."

But I'm not an officious bitch and it's hardly ever my clusterfuck!
