The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

Because books.

::waves pom poms for JZ::

Go get 'em, girl.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Go, JZ!! You can do it.

Coding and Sleeping

Post best read with O Fortuna playing in the background. Just start the following video in a background tab. [link]

Got the music going?

Good.

Don't give up JZ! You can't give up now, it's not over. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell No! You need to get back in there. You've got to keep fighting! Not just for you, not just for a narrow Internet community, but for America! That's right, do it for America! We all believe in you! We all know you can get it done!

"Germans?"

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just got a new laptop, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to organize files before moving the whole sloppy mess over to the new one. Cleaning house on an old laptop is weird.

I keep finding things and saying, "oh yeah! I wrote that crappy thing. Why did I save that? Why do I have so many pictures of ladybugs? Why do I have 15 copies of my 2008 tax returns?"

Also, I got the new MS Suite, that has three different programs I have no interest in loading onto my computer. Seems like a buncha garbage.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'm glad you and B-boy are okay, Bonny. Best recovery luck to your friend-neighbor.

JZ, sending all the strength and coping vibes I can summon to you.

Has anyone heard from ita?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

This is a no. [link]

It gives a whole new meaning to the term “blood diamond”! Now, boys with terrifyingly fangirly fiancées can give their one-true-love -- you know, the one who’s more in love with a fictional vampire than with the not-undead man right in front of them -- the engagement ring of their dreams:

“Not dead yet!”

"Germans?"

"Forget it, he's rolling."

Kathy totally beat me to it.

Much ~ma for JZ.

“Not dead yet!”

Need hivemind help--

Sentence from MS:

Not completely following, I leaned forward and focused on the screen, watching myself, a shimmer white dot amidst swirling color and movement.

Copy editor changed amidst to amid. Any reason I shouldn't just stet it?

Never mind-- I think I just answered my own question. It's the first entry in Merriam-Webster.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG OMG. I was just offered a job. At slightly less than I was making before to start, to go up to what I was making before in 4-6 months. It's really a minor difference. Of course, I was hoping to get a bump up, but Boston v. NYC, blah blah blah. I can't figure out how much of an issue I should make of the salary thing. Ask that the goal amount be higher?
