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.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Compassionately intolerant

I might not do it as a 1099 contractor

Man. Though I love working for myself (and am becoming a better boss everyday), sometimes I'd be really, really happy to not pay self-employment taxes and to have someone else manage the HR stuff.

Good on ya meara. May it be one of your best work experiences ever.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Al-freakin'-right, meara! That's fantabulous! Congratulations on not having to deal with the WA unemployment system anymore!

I had other thoughts, but the lethally cute kidlets stole them all. All I can muster now is, "Glurble, glurble, glurble, CUTIEHEAD SPROG!"

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Dear Idiot Tenants:

Either a) get better at darts. b) stop playing darts drunk. or c) actually protect the wall behind the dartboard with a $10 piece of plywood. Either of these three things would have prevented you from being charged $75 for the current damage.

Dear People Who Feel Compelled to Take Cell Phone Pix of Me:

Look, if you aren't brave enough ask me if I mind you taking a photo, at least be a little more subtle about whipping out your cell and snapping away, okay? This is twice in four days that this is happened, and the amusement value is wearing thin.
