I need help not being cranky at work today. My friend who worked here - and by friend I mean dude Joe has known for 30 years, me for 10+ years, and whom I put in to get the job here - got let go yesterday. No idea why - he didn't divulge to Joe much. But I find myself being unreasonably cranky at some of the PTB. I don't know the whole story, but I know my friend and I am truly confused and upset by it.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The only thing I had that could reach it was a poster tube
I just had an image of Inspector Clouseau trying to knock a spider off the ceiling with a poster tube and the spider sliding down inside the tube and into his jacket sleeve.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Aims, I'm sorry for your friend. It sucks, no matter what happened.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yay, Seska!!
Sox, awake and calm ~ma to you today.
Aims, I'm sorry for your friend and understand the crabby. You hurt for him and want to hurt someone back.
So, yesterday, due to unknown evil, my commute went from 50 min to 1.5 hours in the morning and from 55 min to 1.75 hours in the evening. I really really really hate construction season.
This morning, I left early and got to work in my usual 50 minutes. Of course, Monday, it won't be like that. Because of construction and other evils, I'll have to plan 1.5 hours to get to work regardless. I hate that. I am so not a morning person.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Congrats, seska!

“Not dead yet!”
YAY, Seska!!

P-C, truly an admirable catch and release. I had one of those in my bathroom the other day. After screaming like a girl, I totally dispatched him in a far less humane manner with the native Floridian's instinctive reaction.

Thanks everyone. Yes, much calmer.
There's a photo album she directed me to, but I'm a bit afraid to look.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Thought I'd share a bit.
Bill Watterson discusses Calvin and Hobbes, interviewed for first time in 15 years last February: [link]
And? Calvin and Hobbes are part of the July stamp issue from the USPS: [link]
Also? This week in USA Today Berke Breathed is interviewed about Bloom County: [link]
It's like 80's flashback day for me...

Also? I should note a new name for the movie Avatar floating around:
