Holy crap--the Cubs were down 4-1, and DeRosa just got a grand slam! That's their second one in as many weeks.
ETA: Followed by an RBI and then a 3-run blast by Soriano. They're now up 9-4, and it's only the bottom of the third.
I'm not on the ship. I'm in the ship. I am the ship.

I'm sorry, meara. That's so disheartening. I hope you can find something that you like and that's stable, soon. Of course, the NCistas would be thrilled to host you if you felt a need to job-hunt hereabouts.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, meara. Gah. Whatever your lizard brain is saying, you do know rationally that you're not bad luck, you're just working in a risky industry? 'Cause, no, not bad luck.
I'd wish for you to find a job with a Bay Area company, except you shouldn't have to go through the trauma of uprooting yourself and moving yet again, dammit, so I'm directing all my kick-ass-job-in-solid-company~ma vibes strictly local to you.
Damn. I'm just so sorry.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy birthday, Scrappy!!!!
meara, ugh. I am so sorry.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I am learning how the "day people" (people who somehow are in Manhattan without day jobs but are not tourists) live. Today we went to MoMA and had TWO fashion celebrity sightings: Austin Scarlett (probably; but the fact that I'm not sure if the pale blond Yves St. Laurent/gay sailor is he is somewhat telling) and more excitingly for me, Scott Schuman, The Sartorialist! He is a tiny man.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh! How do you have any idea what the Sartorialist looks like?
When I was a "day person," I was a grad student. Other options: night workers like bartenders, etc., random freelance workers who might be doing work whenever. Also: independently wealthy.
