Reading the email just set off a migraine and stomped on my mood. Must use biofeedback.
Yeah. He's my hero.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, ita. That is so not what you need right now!
I'm all jacked from a combination of extra coffee this morning and work stuff, and I can't concentrate for shit.

Tech support nightmares:
"Hi, we cobbled together an intricate system that explicitly does what your software is not designed to do, and our entire corporate structure is based on this system remaining intact. We'd like to upgrade to the newest version of your software, but it's not recognizing our intricate system. What did you do wrong with your new software?"
"Actually, what you set up is not supported by our software. We're amazed you got it to work. The new version is going to move things all around on you if you go through the standard upgrade."
"Oh . . . yes, we noticed everything getting moved around, we need you to undo that and put it back the way it was and upgrade us properly."
"Upgrading you properly means completely redesigning your network. WE don't support what you did."
"That's unacceptable." (amazing how they think that phrase is so powerful). "We want it put back and upgraded the way we want."
"We don't support that."
"That's unacceptable."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Yeah, she's a total mess. She's the UK singing Lohan-equivalent.
But Winehouse is talented. I mean, I'm not on board with her offstage life but DAMN is she good.
I just came back from sushi with a Japanese colleague. While there he pointed out a Japanese newspaper (as in the country, not just the language) and guess what was the big front story, with a huge 72 pt headline? Lohan's mugshot. THAT IS RIDICULOUS. She hasn't made a good movie since Mean Girls!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
connie, please tell us the phone call ended when you put your hand through the receiver and strangled the caller long-distance.
Even if you didn't, please tell us you did anyway.

Who would hire her at this point? Is she even insurable?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Not that she's as talented as he is, but people still hire Robert Downey Jr.
