cool hair ChiKat!.
I am sorry to hear the world of publishing is being so arbitrary , Barb.

Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Barb, I'm sorry, what craptastic news. And craptastic news for Nora and Tom as well.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I can't wait until work gets to the point where I can read during the day. So a bit of a Meara here:
PixK, have a blast scubaing! Very proud of you for over coming fear of drowning. It's something I've thought of before, but still too scared. So scuba some for me, k?
OH SHIT, y'all.
Tom just got laid off.Oh dear. I'm glad there was a nice severance package. I really hope that this door closing is opening a window with beautiful fresh air. A ton of job~ma for you and Tom.
"yes! I remember you" we chatted about the new job, he said "I don't remember your resume as well, but from personality, you'd be great" So, I'm going to apply. Not exactly what I want to do, but decently close. And, gets me back into the law school arena.Good luck Vortex! If nothing else, use it as a warm-up job app process.
In totally unrelated news, I just got two new cookbooks and I'm dying to cook, but I want to cook in large numbers.
Who wants to visit so I can cook?:: looks at Buffista map to figure out is it plane, train, or automobile to taste yummies ::
So, instead of doing work at home this evening, I baked cookies. Granted, not from scratch. I got a tub of Toll House cookie dough, and baked them up. But, it was a nice test for my oven (which isn't bad for baking!), and will be warmly welcomed (hopefully) at work tomorrow. and the first batch was over-sized and undercooked. Gosh darn, I got a plate full of cookie dough mush.
Since y'all had Pervy Olympic Observations re: divers. My P.O.O. is watching the ladies softball, thinking "these gals would be great for a Playboy spread. You got petite types, curvy types, short & tall, and all have good muscle tone. Win win win for everyone!"
Also, in regards to the fab USA mens relay swim last night, we coined a phrase at work. "S/he pulled a France". Example Usage: "What happened with Joe last night at the bar? I thought he was making good progress on that hot lifeguard" "ya, he was doing great, but then he pulled a France, and came up short. I think he started talking about his ex or something". The one of the office guys came up with a far funnier example, but I can't recall it right now.
MM & Empress, did I miss the result of the new carness?
There was more. Alas. Not enough time or memory.

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?
Thanks for the compliments, y'all. I'm diggin' the new 'do.
ION, I've been watching Pride & Prejudice tonight and I want a Mr. Darcy. That looks like Colin Firth.
My P.O.O. is watching the ladies
The line break combined with the acronym is rather unfortunate. And disturbing.

The line break combined with the acronym is rather unfortunate. And disturbingsorry about that. I guess my screen resolution is a bit wider. Should I un-acronym it? Truth be told, I hadn't even seen that obvious poor choice.

No, it's funny. Do not change a thing.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Timelies!
Barb, I'm sorry about the stupidity of your former publishers. If you want to think about small press, email me. Maybe we can do something.
Sorry about Tom's sucktastic layoff. I hope it leads to something cool.
Love the beautiful babies, haircuts, and awesome student news for Erin.
I'm sorry. That was not even befitting the name meara. I've been a wimp. I seem to be in a flare-up. I can't quite walk across a room without holding on to a wall. Mostly today Aidan has had my computer watching Thomas the Tank Engine reruns while I curled up in the recliner and napped. I did finally update Erika's website with content she sent me in May and June (sorry Erika).

Aw shit, he's on a boat, and probably will skim right past.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
We love you anyway, Omnis.

Went to trivia.
Did really well. But not well enough. Came in third. No money, no beer.
Then had long convo with Girl. Officially broke up. Boo. She's all kinds of messed up. Got to yell at her some (not raised voice, just "Dude, you can say "I'm not good at this", but (a) you are a fucking THERAPIST, and (b) you are 35 years old. That excuse has run thin. Get over it and be a fucking adult. Sorry. That doesn't fly anymore"), but it didn't make me feel all that much better. A little. But not much. But mostly it was just a sorta chill and sad conversation. Sigh. Boo.
And I kept seeing the synchronized diving over my shoulder on in the bar during trivia and thinking "Man, how come this wasn't on when I was watching Olympics during the daytime?!?!"
