Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yeah, I just read that. CNN says he's "suspending" his campaign, which I think translates to "giving up."

Huh. Randy Quaid is a douchebag. Who knew?

* Quaid hit an actor on the back of the head four times during performances. When the stage manager told him to stop, he smacked the actor again.
* Another actor was warned that if he made direct eye contact with Quaid onstage, he'd be fired.
* Quaid made "sexually inappropriate" comments onstage, repeatedly referring to an actress' musical instruments as her "gynecological instruments."
* The couple tried to rewrite the script, to eliminate characters.
* Randy "felt free" to change blocking, lyrics and lines during performances, and repeatedly failed to show up for note sessions and rehearsals.

It would really help if I ate something before one o'clock. Hunger -> lack of coping skills & raaaage.

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

Oh, god. I broke a sweat putting on the support tights. Hand to god. I need to nap now. Good thing I'd already called in late. This would have put me way over schedule.

I just ironed four pairs of black pants. Despite them covering a range of weights, I may need another closet purge.

Whoot, give it up, Romney!!

I am very jealous of bon's lasik too! I can't have the lasik, but I was starting to look into the implantable contacts (my eyes are reallllllly bad). But it's super expensive. And now I dont' have a job. HARUMPH.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I don't know if this is revenge or just comedy. Male Models Get Skinny:

models like Stas Svetlichnyy of Russia typified the new norm. Mr. Svetlichnyy’s top weight, he said last week, is about 145 pounds. He is 6 feet tall with a 28-inch waist. >[link]

When the male models start weighing less than I do (they're not there yet, but not, apparently, for lack of trying), I think we'll have hit a watershed.

One of the days early into morphine I looked at woot's home page. It wasn't that product, but it was similar delivery. I think I stared at it for ten minutes before moving on, no less clued.
