Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

I don't want to think about numbers having sex.

How do you feel about the gender of numerals?

Oh god. I don't have that particular issue, but one surefire lapcounting measure for me is to factor down to primes. I've learned I hate primes over 5. It's completely irrational and visceral, and almost funny how negative a reaction some primes garner from me (I hate 37! and 43! 59 can bite me!) Certain numbers, I love, like my house number (3612.)

I never knew I had that in me.

Gender, Ginger, not sex.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't want to think about numbers having sex.

How do you think bigger numbers get made? It's not called multiplication for nothing.

I am dispirited about my ability to work in the office. It's not looking good. It is looking stinky.

How do you feel about the gender of numerals?

Even = male

Odd = female

Your sounds like yore. You're sounds like ewer.

This seems completely correct.

You would not believe how many videos there are of theatre companies completely butchering Big River . I don't mean mildly butchering, but vocals completely in a different tempo than the band.

Shared with Jesse, but I just realized the import timestamp on my Jesse-the-cow-girl photo is circa Dec 2001. Which means almost a decade. If not longer, given this was pre-digital.

Yep! Back when I lived in Crystal City. "Come As You Aren't" Party. Ah, the good old days...

Your sounds like yore. You're sounds like ewer.

Yes. And I'm with the "gray=warmer/darker, grey=cooler/lighter" camp.

...but I only have odd/even as "I like odd numbers better"

Yeah, it was a meara party. I was in a men's dress shirt and thigh-highs (and shorts.) Back in the day.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Your/you're/yore all the same when I say them. You're/your might become yer, but aren't distinct. Sorry.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I'm wearing grey right now and it's fucking great.

I totally write grey, but it's from my Anglophile phase.

And grey is the right color for my polish! I need to polish and I'll need to redo before this weekend, so I can do a color I want.

I am definitely petering out. I did complete all the laundry, but I still have my chore nemesis to do, the big putaway, which I have to do before I can go to bed.

Okay, so #10 was email bigwigs. One of whom emailed me back to say call him. I don't want to call him! That's a bigger onerous task now. And I got a return receipt from the PA of the other one. So at least I know it's in the building.

#11 was haul firewood. #12 was battery charger. #13 was dinner (turkey meatballs in homemade sauce over spaghetti squash, nom.) #14 was trip prep. #15 is laundry. Okay, no more putting that one off. And put away leftovers. And then I can be done.
