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

Most of those boots are very nice, but I like this silhouette the most.

Just finished flipping through the Lucky magazine that Kat brought for me when I was in hospital. Man, I don't get the target audience for it. Most of the stuff was too expensive, considering they didn't seem to be prestige or exceptionally high-quality stuff.

I mean, a magazine where I find the makeup bits more relevant and interesting than the fashion? Just weird.

Liese, I hope you can make it through this without flipping like a mammal. My mother's advice would be "Clear thinking," which works in many contexts.

Off to bed for me. I think I stayed up 15 minutes too late. So near, and yet so far.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Today is Meet the Preschool Teacher Day. I'm torn between excited, worried and wondering if I should make book on how long it will be before O is kicked out of the class.

Is it wrong to stand in front of the coffeemaker and yell, "FASTER!"?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Just get caffeine pills, Cash. They get absorbed pretty fast.

I had a long and elaborate dream about preparing for an alien invasion, plus then tracking on a map as media outlets cut out and not being able to reach anybody on B.Org on the West Coast!

The fact that I'm having a lousy job hunt has probably got nothing to do with the dream subject matter/angst... right?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Ugh. Timlies and gronklies. Going on day 7 of the summer cold o' doom. I swear I've thought this thing was done 2 or 3 times now, but the symptoms keep coming back with friends. Started in the throat/chest with a sore throat and hacking cough. (though I now suspect that my CPAP machine may have been the culprit for the rapid onset - I think it took all the crap that was forming in my head, loosened it, and pushed it south in concentrated form). That faded a bit, then it came back with sinus congestion (but clear nasal passages). That faded a bit too. Both of those came back, this time with the nasal passages clogged (oh, and there was a fever in there somewhere as well, but Mr. Fever seems to have left the party for good - I'll take my small bleesings where I can get them). Faded again, then everything but the fever came back, and this time my ears feel clogged up. Kinda faded again.

And then, on top of everything else still lingering, this morning's winner in the "what fresh hell is this?" saga - my right eyelid was somewhat stuck together this morning when I woke up. Intiate panic mode.

So far no massive reddening of the eye that I can see, and it wasn't so stuck that I had to pry it open, nor does there seem to be any gunk accumulating now, but still pink eye/conjunctivitis would be just so of the suck on top of everything else I can't even process right now. I'm breaking down and making an appointment. I never go to my doctor for anything as mundane as a cold, but it's not fighting fair at this point.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Am I in the right place for the "Holy shit, Alberto Gonzalez is resigning" party?

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

Am I in the right place for the "Holy shit, Alberto Gonzalez is resigning" party?

Dude, really!!! Best Monday news ever!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Holy shit!!

Suddenly not feeling so bad. Heh, and Stewart and Colbert just went on vacation for two weeks. Coincidence, or not? The only way I'm going to be able to stomach Shrub's inevitable "Heckuva job, Gonzo" sendoff speech (with medal, or will he wait and do that later?) is through their filter.

Huh! And not an hour ago, I took my morning scan of Google News and there was no mention. About goddamn time, is all I can say about it.
