Had the admin lunch. There was DRAMA. Two admins feel disrespected by another and OMG ridic. I just acted out the whole thing for my boss and we laughed and laughed.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I was trying to think of inappropriate conversation at the last holiday party I went to, and I just remembered the MOST RIDICULOUS person I ever met happened this week. Every conversational gambit somehow led to him wealth-dropping. He got pulled into the conversation because we were talking about the political situation in Thailand and I said we got to Bangkok right after the airports reopened. Well HE had to have his parents send their private plane to get him out, and then last time he had his chauffeur drive him 90 mph to his private villa at Phuket. ISTG this conversation happened:
Me: But don't you think once the King dies that will provide an opening for Thaksin to come back?
Him: Well, 15 years ago I was allowed to invest in the company that became T-Mobile and now I am an owner of 1% of the preferred stock of T-Mobile, also my parents own quite a bit of (some hotel chain). Right now I work for the parent company of Verizon as their VP of Marketing. So people ask me all the time what the situation will be in Thailand and I think the PM will crush the opposition...
What kind of fucking answer is that (aside from wrong)? I wanted to talk to him all night, because I suspect I would learn about every item in his closet and every car he ever owned and every country he ever visited or owned a villa in by the time we finished on Thailand alone.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
We had ours yesterday. I don't remember what I talked about, but there was no drama or placentas.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson weathered their infidelity stories much better.
Scandals that aren’t out of tune with a celebrity’s image are often surprisingly easy to bounce back from: after images of Kate Moss snorting coke surfaced, her bookings fell, but, over time, they went up. Revelations that Michael Jordan had lost hundreds of thousands of dollars gambling barely dented his appeal, since the story reinforced the image of him as a fierce competitor. But scandals that conflict with a person’s public image can wreak havoc. And it’s hard to think of a scandal that’s more discordant with an image of focus and discipline than this one.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Bon, this wasn't someone at my house, was it? Because I sincerely hope I don't know anyone like that....

bon, you were having a conversation with Patrick Bateman?
Argh! I was about to back up my iPhone, but dropped one end of the cable in my cup of tea. I wonder how long it will take to dry?

Not your party, scrappy! At your party I talked to Alibelle about how awesome Bat Masterson apparently is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I wanted to talk to him all night, because I suspect I would learn about every item in his closet and every car he ever owned and every country he ever visited or owned a villa in by the time we finished on Thailand alone.
Yeah, that sounds fantastic, for a one-time-only party conversation.

Add all that up and they're now talking about 10 to 20 inches of snow for Baltimore before it all ends. The special bonus will be the winds - 10 to 20 mph, with gusts of 25 to 30 mph, which will keep the snow moving around after its plowed and reduce visibility. Travel, as they say, will be "extremely treacherous."
Flight leaves 10 am sunday. Possibly.
