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

Happy birthday, skipper!

I swear, after watching all these detective interviews on video I'm convinced that people will implicate themselves or others at the slightest nudge.

I realized when I was living with my ex, the detective, that at least 80 percent of crimes are solved because criminals don't have the sense to shut up and they tell on each other like four year olds.

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

Why am I earwormed with "All My Exes Live in Texas"? I'm pretty sure that the last time I heard that song was in 2001, or maybe 2002.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

well that was uncomfortable. Along with things I was comfortable answering was "have you overheard anything?" yikes.

Yikes. I told you all about the time we had a general staff confidential meeting without the management team, and then I pretty much immediately got called into the CEO's office to narc on everyone? Good times.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

yeah, so I did not divulge all that I think I know about it, but possibly gave them more info than they had. It's not necessarily against the company rules to have a side business, but if time at the office is diverted to it, then they would have an issue. documentation is their burden though.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Ack! I just found out that I may not be eligible for unemployment pay from either Iowa or Missouri! I won't find out until Monday.

I didn't make enough in Iowa to qualify, and Missouri is not sure I can qualify under extended benefits.

I need a job, stat!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yikes, quester. I hope it works out.

Man, home sick is boring when you have insomnia and light and sound bother you. I'm stocking up on vids, but I can't really appreciate them much. I wants sleep, I does. Oh, and to eat, that'd be great. Haven't eaten yet.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Hope it eases up quickly, ita.

You know that groundbreaking gay couple storyline on One Life to Live that's been handled so well and has been generating praise and lots of great press for ABC? Word's just come down that it's being ditched (apparently scapegoated for declining ratings, despite numerous plots that were actually getting bad reactions running simultaneously), Brett Claywell and Scott Evans are being let go, and they found out about it via uproar among their Twitter followers after TV Guide broke the story. That's right, the executive producers told reporters before the actors that are being let go. Stay classy, ABC. [link]

Good luck sorting that out, quester....

And feel better, ita! (If I say it like that, you have to do it, right?)
