All is well that ends in pizza.

Hi all, I found it's time I updated my resume, and Andi and I would like to have other eyes upon it.

If anyone would like to help out and do a once-over, I can send it in Word format. Just email me at dcjensen at gmail dot com.

ETA: Still employed, just...time.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Hil, you might want to put ice on your burn instead of just a cold compress.

Once I found out that most of the damage happens after the burn, as the heat keeps moving through the tissues, I started applying ice to my burns, and have found it to be really effective.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Ice is not recommended for burns. It can cause frostbite. You don't want anything cooler than cold water.

ION, have gone to the pharmacy and grocery store, put laundry in the dryer, have 2 loaves of zucchini bread in the oven, and made big yummy mexican rice bowls/burritos for dinner, which I am eating now. In 10 minutes: a whole hour of Treehouse of Horror.

Frostbite? Cool! (Probably not the right reaction, but I've always been really interested in frostbite. Not that Hil should risk it to satisfy my curiosity.)

I used a bag of frozen vegetables. I wonder if that's just as bad as ice. I'll adjust my treatment in the future.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I made way too much jambalaya. I just froze some and put some in a container for lunch tomorrow, and still have at least four meals worth.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yay for jambalaya. I hope your arm isn't too terribly bad.

Palmetto bugs. I remember when I first encountered roaches outside of Florida, I laughed because they were so teeny and wee compared to what I was used to

You know, I've experienced both and...I'm sorry. Palmetto bugs are bigger, and fly and all. But they don't provoke the gut level revulsion that roaches do. I mean, ideally, you have neither, but I'd take the occasional palmetto flyby over roach infestations any day.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

But he's in high school now and just about the cutest little androgynous gothling you ever did see. He's got jet black pigtails, blue and black eyeliner out to THERE, giant stompy combat boots - freaking ADORABLE. I just wanted to wrap him up in a black lace bow and send him to Jilli as a present.

D'awwwww! He sounds adorable, and I hope he survives his home environment without getting his spooky tendencies crushed.
