Awwww, poor Godzilla.
I'm thinking that would make a good poster.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Her manager was a friend, so I gently suggested writing her a calling script. That worked for this situation, but I heard one half of way too many awkward phone calls.
Oh yeah -- when I was doing political calls, many people were terrible, even with a script.
This is why I shouldn't leave the house: On the way back from the post office, I bought a slice of cheescake for dinner.

The writers at my new job have been well-trained. One of them stopped by to ask an editing question, and brought Thin Mints.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That was probably me! I have terrible phone skills! But it`s because the other voices expect me to talk! And they want stuff from me! waily waily.
I answer the phone "Hope in Transit, this is Lisa." I gave you the full name because the just-barely-rejected name was going to be "Hope You Can Hold" which I put the kibosh on because of the ensuing phone confusion. "Hello, hope you can hold!" "Yeah, I can hold.""What?"

HA! Liese, that's like my grandfather who named his two puppies "Wot" and "Huh". You can imagine the confusion. But grandpa liked the confusion.

Many years ago I was a temp at a small music-industry manager. He was in fact John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band's manager (they're the guys who did the music for Eddie & the Cruisers). And I had a script for answering the phone. It was:
Arnold Palmer Management Agency, Good Afternoon, this is Consuela Speaking. Can I help you please?
Every. Frelling. Time. the phone rang. It was crazy. Also, these guys made me pick up their dry-cleaning. When I left, I didn't even get a free cassette of the new album. Jerks.
I am wiling away my afternoon watching season 1 of SG-1 on Hulu. It's kind of fun.

I love those little stuffed Alien face huggers.
I took the kids to the YMCA for their swim lessons this afternoon. I walked into the Men's dressing room just as Owen was asking, "Mom, why are we going into the Men's Room?" Literate Five Year Old, 1, Oblivious, Exhausted Mommy, Nil.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Kat! Loved seeing the pictures of Gracie. Wish I could have seen her in person, but given that I am STILL hacking up phlegm, I think skipping the visit was the wisest choice.
Got through today's office hours courtesy of 2 12-oz cups of tea and 1 12-oz cup of coffee. Oy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Wow, using his own voice! That is brilliant.
