So I hate everyone today, right? I was super happy to see this Overheard in New York: [link] That's my girl.

I think the next hour for me is going to draaaaaaaaag. It's been mostly pleasant, though I'm irrationally irritated at a couple of my friends-should be easy to shake off though. Mostly I've spent the day coming up with avatars and making a couple of posters. I made one with the Sarah Connor/Lara Croft quote from the movie thread last night and a demotivational poster that was supposed to represent the batfamily, but now refers to a challenging person my team works with. They made me post it on the outside of my cube.

I might need to marry Woman in Suit.

I've been running into little clusters of kids working to save the environment around Los Angeles. I think it's been for Greenpeace every time. Every time, the kids had multiple face piercings, tattoos, and dressed like homeless beach bums, and looked to be all of fifteen years old. They also would get emo and pouty if you didn't have time to engage them.

Clearly they have given ZERO thought to how their appearance and attitude might affect the efficacy of their efforts.

One of my friends was a coordinator for the Greenpeace collecting people for a while. They don't actually have an option for "give a couple bucks to Greenpeace right now." What they're trying to get you to do is sign up to give a certain amount each month for a certain number of months. I don't remember all the details, but I remember that I was perfectly willing to give a few bucks, since a girl I'd known since kindergarten was running the collection effort, but not willing to sign up for whatever plan it was they had to offer.

Liese, the house looks gorgeous. I especially like the ceiling in the kitchen.

Somebody wanted me to save the environment yesterday. Or possibly the children. It was pouring down rain. I may have said, "I'm not saving anyone unless there's a fucking thank-you umbrella in it for me, sweetheart."

I hate the "do you have a minute for [cause]" thing they're doing now, because it's so stupid -- you don't actually want a minute of my time, you want some amount of my money! And maybe I don't have a minute for anyone right now! And and and.

Yep, still hate everyone.

one of the advantages of living in an outer borough is almost no people trying to stop me on the sidewalk. On the weekends I think I look so haggard that I rarely get spoken to if I am in Manhattan. - it's a blessing.

Liese--I love the line of dark tile that goes from the floor up behind the stove and the sinks in the master bath and the stone pillar in front and the ceilings in the kitchen and....the whole thing, really. Gor-Juss.
