On another (hopefully not insensitive) note,
Not at all hon! For the record, I don’t want anyone to feel like they can’t make a joke or change the subject if I’m talking about my dad or getting all emo. Part of the reason that I post is so that you guys can comfort/pull me back from the tears/keep me sane. I’d hate for someone to have an awesome XKCD or something and not post it because they don’t want to offend.
I wish I'd be in Houston. I'm up here in Dallas, but if you find yourself up this way I'll totally take you up on it, and right back atcha!
Well, if I’m coming, I’m doing them both, so it’s cool! I don’t know why I always think of you in Houston. I think that Dana is Houston, right? Too much awesomeness in one state confuses me ;)
I often find myself thinking silly shit like, "I hope Josie (my beloved recently departed cat) found Jack." Then I feel like a moron, but it still gives a little comfort.
Heh. I remain convinced that TPTB needed someone up there to organize up something, like maybe St. Peter retired, so Dad’s taking his place (hope so, cause then I am SO in!!!)
It’s silly, but it makes me feel good.
Vortex, would it help to tell us stories? I'd love to hear them if it would. He sounds like a wonderful man.
He really really was. I can’t count the number of chances I took and opportunities that I went for because I knew he was there to catch me if I fell.
You know, I’m really going to have to find some waterproof eyeliner if I’m going to keep crying at my desk. (that’s supposed to be funny. True, but funny)

Bitches are good for that too. {{{Vortex}}}, and more any time you need 'em.

After a couple of milennia, a guy deserves a vacation.

I like the Urban Decay 24/7 liner. It does smudge after crying, but it cleans up, too.

I second this. Been there, done that. Am close now.
So, um, anyone have any exciting Wednesday plans?

She was. Now she's on the left hand side of the country, I think.
ETA: omnis is up here though, and he's pretty nifty to hang out with, and Corwood is down in Austin and he's rather awesome as well.

I have an interview at a chi-chi hotel bar on the Embarcadero in less than an hour. If they're looking for mixologists, I'm screwed. If they're looking for people who can learn and need a damn second job NOW, I'm all over that.
So, it's exciting, but with that added tinge of terror that makes things so piquant.
mixologists
I cannot tell you how much hubs and I loathe that word. Mr. Jane has "Inebriation Specialist" on his business cards. Just as wordy; far more truthful.
I am no longer in Houston, and am sorry I will miss Vortex. I can give you good restaurant recommendations, though!
