Natter 58: Let's call Venezuela!
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.
OMG, my thermostat is the dumbest thing ever. So it is 80 in here and I want to get it down to 78 to not be a sweaty mess. I switch it to off, bump up the thermo, then switch to cool, and bump down the thermo. It doesn't work. I try many times. Then I try putting it on heat, ratcheting the thermo down and switching directly to cool. It works. That's...stupid.
Anyway.
And I'm angsting about a pretty buff tabby girl (I think) who saw me on the balcony and jumped to my downstairs neighbors' balcony, crying at me. I went down and rubbed her ears until she ran off, acting as if she wanted me to follow. Sweet thing, but I have no more room for cats! Ahrg. I swear, if I end up following her and she leads me to a litter, I don't know what to do.
Well, if I find any, I'll know where to take 'em!
Kat! I got your message! Phone wonky! Answer is YES!
I got microdermabrasion, tonight. My skin is all rosy. YAY SPA WEEK!
Had a kerfuffle at work over the word "productize."
I argued that it wasn't a word. And even if it was, it's idiotic, lame, and ridic marketing slang that shouldn't be on our web site.
So I went to the source of sources.
erinaceaous says that it is a word. But it is a lame word and also unattractive. I think that I have the winning opinion on MY SIDE.
Thoughts on productize?
I just turned on the TV, and it's one of the few episodes of Sex and the City I've already seen. Also, my DVR doesn't seem to have recorded anything today. I hate that.
In better news, I went to a grad school reunion tonight, which was a good time and also I learned that a woman I know just moved in literally next door to me. Good times.
Kristin, tomorrow is all screwed up. But if you have time Sunday, that should work.
I can make time. You need this all wrapped up soon, right? Also, I just got an email with G.'s AP course overview. I will email it to your profile addy. You may not even need to meet with me personally, so let me know what works best.
Thoughts on productize?
Mutant.
It's goofy and makes you looks silly.
Nephews & mom, last month: [link] [link] [link]
I have no idea why my mom looks so somber in all of them. She's really chipper and goofy. I blame photoface.
Oh Steph, thanks for the press release cite!
People need to stop asking my opinion and then arguing with me about the answer.
A) Only published writer in the joint.
B) Only person who constantly reads web content.
C) Only person with instant access to army of editors and grammar nuts.
Not a word to be proud of.
Yay Kat! Yay Tom! Happy Birthday, beth!
Juliana, I am... doing nothing this weekend, I think. Maybe some writing, maybe I'll go see the new Clooney movie. And I have to read American Pastoral by Philip Roth by next Wednesday and also finish an SPN story. And get over my cold.
Productize sucks, Allyson, and I forbid its use.
Yes, I'm drinking Bushmill's why do you ask?
