Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I actually do much better collaborating face to face. Anything with a lag time (even email) makes me a little crazy.

Heh -- I actually just refused to respond to a series of emails and set up a call for Monday morning. It's too hard to try to have the conversation over email, because I'm pretty sure we aren't all talking about the same things.

Also, when brainstorming, too many people here tend to read your thoughts as your opinion, rather than just musings. So you get "here's a concern" read as "this is How It Shall Be" and next thing you know, it's a flamewar.

Kat, those eyeglasses are wicked cheap! Wow. Of course, I'm super picky about glasses, so it'd be hard to order frames without trying them on, but...for like, $60 instead of $400, I could be a little less picky. Dang!

aurelia, I just sent you and brenda some restaurant ideas. Sorry that I'm such a space cadet this week. Too much work + Sudafed = braaaaiiiiins.

I actually do much better collaborating face to face.

I'm the opposite. I hate meetings--you spend all day talking and don't accomplish a damn thing, IMHO. With non face-to-face, at least I can do my part of the job in my way.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

for that "just between us" cover ... maybe the swirly eyes were supposed to indicate that menstruation makes you crazy ....

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We're going to the folklore society's mini-festival tomorrow. Should be fun.At the very least we'll get to see a local acapella group we haven't seen in a while.

Okay! If there are any Chicagoistas near the Loop, there are a few of us meeting for Thai and beer at 5:30. If you can join, speak soon or forever miss out on shenanigans.

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

My god. We have the biggest looming deadline ever, and everyone's scurrying to not be the ones to blame if we aren't ready.

Lots of scurrying. And I have a meeting in two minutes which will be quite scurryful.

Saw the doctor, and he's concerned about a clot too, and scheduled me a test at a time where I can't make it. Says I'll have to go into the ER to get it done that way instead.

Oy.

Oy.

Off to meeting.

I seem to have ordered a Wii through Target. I looked and I hit the site just. as. it was being offered. And now I have clicked and everything.

I really shouldn't have spent the money. On the other hand, anything that gets me standing up and moving can't be all bad, you know?
