We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Tonight I have to pick up insulin and play with toddlers.

Those are some sweet toddlers.

not your mom's socks.

so tired right now (possibly from the mental effort of explaining to someone for a half an hour why putting an entire annual report (with names and gifts) online would be a bad idea. This after explaining why another person is getting spam from russia and that they need to use a spam filter and how that isn't a problem with our website.).

Tonight - Poulet Marengo (chicken, green olives, onions, tomatoes, pasta, more olives), sleep and/or watch something.

Tomorrow - maybe the art museum? or back to the Please Touch Museum. Sleep.

Sunday - birthday party at 2. frantic scramble for gift at 1.

Monday - 5am wakeup for local train to 30th st., 5 meetings in a row (2 with the above people), train home, sleep.

eta to add a key word - online.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I have 6 scripts to read for next week. I should probably get on that.

I should also do some bookkeeping so I can tidy up my desk and I should vacuum and do other cleaning. It's possible that the 10 remaining episodes of Twin Peaks will distract me from some of these tasks.

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

What color family are you looking for?

Red. I found that a store near me sells Besame lipstick and some of the colours look promising. Maybe they'll have my red, and it seems possible they'll have my brown. Hopefully in stock.

If this were rum cake forcing would not be required.

Rum cake and egg nog. No one would have to forcefeed me. It would be nice to sit down to some nog and cake and watch Angel. Or Saw. Depends on how schedules work out.

I search for a good brown lipstick. Most are "reddish brown" and if I wanted red lipstick I'd buy it. I want BROWN.

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

I really, really need to get out of the apartment this weekend. Preferably something that would force me to socialize. Suggestions?

Anyone seen the icky story about the twins floating around in the news today? Am I the only one detecting more than a whiff of "this guy my cousin knows once knew this girl who..." about it?

Yup. Not that I'm doubting that such a thing could happen, but this particular instance fails the sniff test for all the press it's getting.
