Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I'm pretty sure a Lifeline operator just flirted with me over a lift assist call. Noteworthy because he was the first Lifeline employee i've ever spoken to who seemed even vaguely competent so the call was already noteworthy.

I may have also reflexively told a chronic mental caller "i love you too" while hanging up. And by "may have" i mean "did." I definitely said "i love you too" to a caller on a recorded line. I don't think anyone but my parents has ever said that to me on the phone, so it's a total automatic response. Pretty sure i won't get in trouble, there's no reason for anyone to review the call...but i feel wierd. A little dirty.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

At least you didn't say it to the Lifeline guy?

Erin, backflung again in response to your previous email.

Right. Drugs, aloe, bed.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Uh-oh. Better use those Groupons.

not your mom's socks.

I'm reading as much as I can and nodding along, fwiw. Erin and Pix, your patience in the face of Rampant Tino-ism in two of its worse forms (Ex-wife Tino and Money-clutching-conniving-supercilious-control-freak-businessmanager Tino) is amazing.

Gud! Congratulations!

That's all I have. I'm restricted on screen time because the sinus infections have incurred screen-related eyestrain that is quite possibly going to drive me mad. My Dr. says it will get better soon and amped up the meds, thank god. The past two months I've been a complete zombie, with added sneezing. That was the normal bad rites of spring. This? Taking away my Internet? Separating me from my books? Forcing me to use a pen and paper? The stupid trees are on The List. It had better fix soon or I may start chopping at trunks.

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

Just spent 45 minutes on the phone with Mac support, and now I'm reinstalling OS X. This had better work.

OK, I've now spent close to two hours on the phone with Apple, and my MacBook is still not working. The next idea is to try a new installation disk, which they've got to mail me, so I need to wait a few days before seeing if that works.

What's very useful when I'm typing things is to have the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack stuck on a loop in my head.

Probably because I've played on a loop off my computer three times today.

Ahh!!! Today's Google doodle is in honor of Richard Scarry! I so want copies of the books I adored when I was wee, wee little!. If only they weren't so damned expensive.

Fuck me sideways. Landlady is letting me stay past lease expiration at pro-rated rent. But new tenants want to move in Thursday night. I was planning to leave Friday morning. This is going to be interesting. Apparently, all parties seem to be flexible to some "overlap," trying to establish what that would mean. It might mean that I don't have to clean before I leave, which would be cool with me.
