I told my boss that he overpaid me and he said it's their policy to pay for every hour worked regardless of exempt/non-exempt status. That's crazy but I LOVE IT!

That IS crazy, but whee, free money!

Happy Nilly and flea day. I think my birthday is on Rosh Hashana a lot. Also, the start of the new TV season, but even I don't consider that with the same magnitude.

I wasn't dissing it; I seriously didn't know that scantily clad women attended it.

There are a lot of scantily clad women at Dragon*Con. And quite a few scantily clad men. It can be a family friendly convention, but you really have to work at it.

Perhaps my problem is that I don't know what fandom that is.

Er. For every Captain Jack Sparrow and Stormtrooper and Marvel Girl, there are about 50 costumes I don't recognize, so you're not alone.

shrift, I am sorry people have been pissing all over things you like, and I'm sorry if I helped contribute to that pissing.

Oh, it's not you guys. It's just that every once in a while, I get tired of defending why I like things. I'll just kick back and watch the US Open and a backlog of MythBusters episodes until it passes.

Does the current MCR fandomplosion help amuse at all?

Oh, that quickly got subsumed by something even more ridiculous. It's probably already up on fandom_wank by now.

I need tips on shoulder flexibility.

You know this stretch: [link] ? Yeah, I can't do it. I can't even lift my clasped hands this high: [link] .

What's a good stretch (other than that one, obviously) that would help open up my shoulders so I can lift my arms higher behind my back?

Yeah, I can't do it. I can't even lift my clasped hands this high:

Maybe you have that disease where you're slowly ossifying.

We can always use you as a mannequin.

"Oil can! Oil can!"

That was a conservative costume compared to the woman who attended as Aeon Flux.

I felt all prudish thinking to myself that those sorts of costumes shouldn't be on the floor on Sunday afternoon what with the little kids and all.

There was a family (parents, a baby, and a toddler) all dressed like The Incredibles and it was adorkable.

I'm getting meaner by the day, BTW. I mean, seriously MEAN. I've somehow lost the ability to tolerate stupid.

I have absolutely fucking had it with people who have a new "emergency" that I have to deal with every fucking week.

That is all.

Maybe you have that disease where you're slowly ossifying.

I think in my case, the disease is good old-fashioned laziness. Even when I work out (as in: walk on treadmill) on a regular basis, I frequently neglect stretches. And the older I get, the less stretchy I get. (And I was never particularly stretchy to begin with.)

We can always use you as a mannequin.

Yay fun!

The skirt I am wearing today, which I always thought was brown, seems to actually be black. Or not. I can't tell.

Perhaps my problem is that I don't know what fandom that is.

Sometimes the fandom is "Excuse to be Half-Naked in Public."

The bandom wank cracks me up. That first poster -- she couldn't have figured out it wasn't a good idea? And now she's all pitiful that people are descending on her LJ and disagreeing with her.

You know this stretch: [link] ? Yeah, I can't do it.

I used to not be able to do that but now I can. Um...hmmm...mostly it was a matter of just doing it a lot I think. And other yoga poses that promote shoulder flexibility. I can check with my yoga instructor friend for some tips.
