Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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:
"Germans?"
"Forget it, he's rolling."
Kathy totally beat me to it.
Much ~ma for JZ.
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.
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?
YAY OFFER!!!!!
Eeeee!!! But now I need to figure out how to negotiate! Yikes.
YAY OFFER!!
WOOHOO JESSE!!!!! Good luck w/ figuring out the negotiations. I think asking that the goal amount be higher seems reasonable.
Has anyone heard from ita?
Yes, she'll be home shortly. I suspect she'll be posting soon after that.
Go Jesse! Congrats!
