Hate Hil's new officemates.
Love the dorks in Vermont!
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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.

a pizza that I made with caramelized onions, goat cheese, heirloom tomatoes, and fresh basil.
Oh, YUM. That sounds excellent.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Hil, what did you do in a past lifetime to warrant such asshats for office mates??
As for laptop & long typing, can you buy a keyboard and USB into the laptop? It's what I do at my work desk. I hate using the laptop keyboard. No number pad, palms get warm. Blargh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
one of them says that the reason that New Orleans still has a lot of sections that haven't been rebuilt is that FEMA gave gift cards to each of the survivors to use on rebuilding, and a lot of them spent them on alcohol and pornography instead.
Can we just ban people from talking about Katrina?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Oh, YUM. That sounds excellent.
Thanks, it was if I do say so myself. I used Trader Joe's whole wheat dough for the first time, and it was also yum!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I might try getting an external keyboard and mouse for my laptop if the computer situation gets too bad, but that'll take up a bunch of space on my desk, which has not enough space already.
Do any companies make some kind of stand for a laptop so that the screen will be at eye level? When I try to type with the computer on my desk, it always seems like the screen is much too low.

And speaking of completely other things, here's a terrific tribute to the late lamented plus-size magazine Mode! Someone has put scans of issues online. I wish someone would bring this magazine back--it was really terrific.
Man, I *loved* Mode. It was a kickass magazine. I'm going to have to check out the scans.
