Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm having a time-space crisis where time is not moving as fast as it normally does.... At least it's finally past 5.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Man, that robot is creepy. At one point, it almost flips over but doesn't. I wonder if it could flip itself back, or just continue upside-down.

I think it kept going upside down. The creepy part is how it looks like it "learns" what it's trying to travel. Like on the stairs, it starts of with that kinda scrabbly thing it does (also kinda creepy) and then once it starts flipping those little-whatever they are-starts using them uniformly.

I'm ready to leave work now. Still have about 3 1/2 hours.

Grrr. I know that I told the bookstore I was unavailable to work from the 15th to the 26th. I know I did! When I saw the schedule for this week last Saturday, I'm positive I saw no mention of my being on call for tonight, because I would have told the manager then there was no way I could work tonight, since I'm hitting the road at 6:00 tomorrow morning for New Jersey. But, I just got a phone call asking why I didn't call in like I was supposed to. Um, because I wasn't on frickin' call when I last saw the schedule?!?

I've got to clean, do my dishes, and pack tonight before going to bed before 10:00. There's no way in hell I'm going to work. The manager was all "Well, I guess we'll get by." I guess you'll have to, because I'm not available.

Art Crawl!!!

I think that robot had certain insect-like qualities that made it a bit creepy. Well, it was kind of a creep-crawly.

Man, I am tired. Perhaps I am just coming down with the ick that has been running rampant through my office. There are actually two varieties of the ick.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -Barry Bonds was indicted Thursday on perjury and obstruction of justice charges, culminating a four-year federal investigation into whether he lied under oath to a grand jury looking into steroid use by elite athletes.

'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"

It's certainly more insectile than most machines or larger animals ever manage, that's for sure.

I recently cut back on my Celexa, and I'm wondering if upsets this week and last are not entirely coincidental.

It's your birthday, sumi--go home!

I just realized that I can't go in tonight and ask if I can pick up my paycheck early now that I've ticked off the manager. Damn. Oh, well, I've got enough for the drive out and hotel stay tomorrow night.

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

Coworker has asked about the prominent Buffy board I post on. Then he said "I met SMG. Wanna touch me?" I laughed, played the moon card, and mentioned Allyson's book.

He kept pressing for our URL, but I told him I liked being insular. His mission is to crack that. I told him the URL is in the book, so he should buy it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hey! Thanks!

It's still weird, you know. I wrote a book. Weird.
