Buffistas

Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I hope I didn't say anything too stupid on the phone. I honestly had no idea what to say, but I did promise her that I would keep calling her once a week.

I don't think there is any right thing to say (and I'm sure you didn't say anything unkind, so I'm willing to bet you didn't say anything "wrong"). The only thing I can ever think to say in the face of news like that is a variation on "That really sucks. I'll be here for you in any way I can."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Thanks, DJ. I heard that she had taken a turn for the worse from a mutual friend, so I had to reassure her that I was in no way upset with her for not telling me a few times. I think I am going to send a letter to her and her husband as well. They've been very good to me over the years.

So sorry, sj. Fuck cancer and ass it in the ear to boot.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Fuck cancer, indeed. I hope she's gotten several opinions, because there are drugs that can vastly slow the growth of some types of metastasized breast cancer.

There is no right thing to say, except, as DJ says, variations on "that sucks" and avoiding any possible implication that there are any blessings in disguise involved. Tell her she can vent about anything to you, because sometimes you want to complain, but not to the people who see you all the time.

Thanks, Ginger. She's been fighting for three years, and from what I heard the cancer has just spread too far at this point. I believe she has had very good doctors.

move out and draw fire

Fuck cancer!

I think in protest we should have the zodiac sign changed.

Is Pi Day today?

Is tomorrow, but is no work tomorrow (yay), so pi today. Me and a co-worker teamed up on our contributions: I made a pie with the top crust looking like the Aperture Science logo, and he wrote "The cake is a lie" in frosting on his pie.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

hmm. the zodiac sign is good. especially with some old bay and a nice pot of hot water. it's the name of the sign that's related to something what deserves a round of being assed in the ear.
