My prediction? It was the A-Team. Or perhaps Gilligan's Commandos....
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
All I want to do outside of my apartment today is get a manicure, and I'm not sure I can even bring myself to do that. Pathetic!

I just gave the lawyer here at the firm my notice, and his response was the one you always want to hear from your boss: "Nooooo!"
He understood when I explained my meltdown on Thursday night, and he approved me putting up a note in the breakroom at the bookstore to see if anyone there would be interested. I'm hoping that they can get someone by the time I go on vacation in mid-November, so I won't have to worry about coming back to 7-day workweeks.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Seriously, Kathy, I think it's a good move. Extra money is nice, but sanity is better in the long run.

A mantra I have to start living by! I could have done the 7-day workweek ten years ago, but now that I'm in my 40s, NSM.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kat, I'll see you there are 3.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I wish I was in Chicago so I could take your 3rd job! It sounds perfect.
I hear you on the age and the 7 day workweek, too. I only have to do it for about 8 weeks a year, and at 35 it kills.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Three of the kids in the class had Twilight books with them, though, and claim to "love" vampires.
I ... I ....
head explodes
Sweet suffering Bram Stoker, what is WRONG with those children? I guess my idea to include a sidebar of "The Lady of the Manners top 13 vampire books" in the manuscript wasn't just self-indulgent.

The status is NOT quo.
We get a Kat P? Whee! It will be so good to have you in the area, Kat. Can't wait to see you again! Speaking of LA, LAistas, insent to those whose emails I have.
Brenda, glad to hear that Lucy is turning a corner.
ita, I was so incredibly happy to hear about your good ER experience! I want to kiss your attending.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

Please! Oh, please! Oh pretty, pretty please!
When it happened, I literally sat down on the edge of the stage it so threw me. Combine that with their not knowing who Anne Rice was simply too much. I've mentioned the supposed vampire fans try 'Salem's Lot, They Thirst, Interview With The Vampire, Vampire Kisses, The Vampire Diaries and, of course, Stoker's Dracula. I've even suggested The Society of S and The Year of Disappearances as the author is from Orlando and part of the book takes place in this inbred county.
Nothing! No interest. They are hooked on Twilight! While I am glad this means they are reading, still... When one went so far as to utter the sentence, "But I only like Twilight vampires. Edward is so dreamy. I can't wait to see the movie." I think I actually sobbed.
During lunch that day I pulled out the several Dracula scripts I had and began rereading them as possible productions. I know I was muttering something about the lack of education in today's baby bats!
