Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I have a friend from out of town that emailed to say he was coming to LA this weekend. I haven't seen him in years. Has he replied to say when he's available or where he's staying? Nopers. Dude. I actually miss you bunches and really want to see you. Don't make it hard.

feeling your pain. got a text from an old friend yesterday, asked him what his plans were for the weekend, never heard back.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

That seriously made me physically recoil.

Ha! Sorry. Should I tell you that's about 50 less than I usually have?

Dear god in heaven. I have to go lie down with a cool cloth on my head now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hate half-assed plans like that. I would love it if the plans were real! Or would be OK moving on with my day!

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

Stuff I was sick of yesterday: Conservatives who can't deal with the fact they lost the presidential election and who insist Obama is not a legitimate president.

Stuff I'm sick of today: North Korea.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Dear god in heaven. I have to go lie down with a cool cloth on my head now.

I feel better, though! It's nice having the validation that this really is fucking insane.

Study: College Grads Unprepared For Workplace

It's the time of year when college graduates plunge into the job market for the first time. Human resources managers say many recent grads are unprepared for the demands of the workplace.

...

"What we found, was that there are a set of qualities, characteristics that these people would like to see in new college graduates," says David Polk, a York College professor. "Unfortunately, they tend to be lacking."

Those qualities include the ability to communicate and listen respectfully, motivation to finish a task and attention to appearance.

But Polk says researchers did find one area where recent graduates stand out:

"There's a sense of entitlement that we've picked up on. Where people think they're entitled to become, let's say president of the company, within the next two years. They're entitled to five weeks of vacation."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So ... this is what happens when furries go formal?

It's what happens when the King of the Mods goes into the Jungle Room.

Mod formal!

It is a very strict dress code, but also fluid and subject to fashion and personal taste. I'm not sure I'd characterize it as formal (like, "black tie"), but it's definitely about Italian tailoring.
