And I aso feel like a twat saying "Can I please be listed as designer, like all the other designers?". The student also listed me as the assistant costume shop manager, and the way the sheet is formatted, it looks like I report to the props master.

do not feel like a twat. You are costume designer, not someone who takes clothes out of a closet.

Think of it this way, you are teaching the student not to be an asshole. If you don't call him/her out, one day, the student will be working professionally, and piss off someone important and damage their career. You're helping him by ripping him a new asshole.

Dana, I'm just sensitive b/c I was dating a female soldier around that time and heard a lot of horror stories about people lurking in gay bars and such to find out homosexuals.

The Navy guy I dated about 4 years ago said that was still going on, 13 years after DADT went into effect, in Washington D.C. I don't have the figures at hand, but military discharges for homosexuality went WAY up after the policy went into effect.

I retract my earlier statement. I was unaware that DADT had the opposite effect from that intended.

You're helping him by ripping him a new asshole.

Vortex makes me happy by just existing.

I imagine it came as a surprise to Clinton that it backfired, but being officially denied the outlet of harrassing people out of the service seems to have motivated bigots to collect evidence instead.

In other news, after releasing THREE mice I caught in a mousetrap today I just saw another of the furry little bastards scurring into one of the burners on my stove. I think it's about time to push for professional exterminators.

I am now really going to lose it because the Stage Manager just emailed us to tell us that he inadvertantly left us off the planning emails for production meetings! So can we come at this time or not? (Interestingly enough the other female area (props) can't come either).

My only real comment on the State of the Union address (other than "My goodness, Mr. Boehner, what an *interesting* choice of tie, and may I say it goes SO WELL with your orange fake tan!") is that I laughed for about a full minute at Obama's comment about the people who won't accept scientific evidence about climate change.

Oh, snap.

Rarely do I crave other than cheese and crunch. But whether by dint of hormones or cold-induced-starvation-diet, I want: brownies, cookies, peanut butter. I'm pretty sure that's the cold talking. Normally never want sweets. All I have is a brownie mix, no eggs for it. Sigh.

sara, you can make the brownie mix, sans eggs, and eat it raw. Not that I have any experience in that.

Do you have yogurt? About a quarter cup of yogurt per egg makes a decent baking substitute.
