No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

not your mom's socks.

Sox, I thought the 1-2-3 list was the programmer writing back (and quoting South Park) saying, "Uh, how exactly are you going to make money doing this?"

hah, likely. darn you, super-speedreading-superpower

JZ, I am glad your new workplace is so awesome. I hope it continues to be so.

My onerous task for today was an iron infusion. 4 down and (hopefully) only 1 more to go!

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I think I achieved my onerous task, although the onerous part is trying to psych myself into it, not really the writing.

Is there some very obvious "Contact Me" tab or button that I'm missing if you want to contact a particular Blogspot blogger, or is the only way to do it just to comment on a blog entry?

No, there is not. Yes, it is annoying.

Especially since you then have to post your email publically to allow people to contact you directly (I use my old NYU email that I use here).

If I hadn't added a Contact Me page, I probably never would have been invited out by that other blogger.

My truly onerous task is to try and finish a fic for a challenge. It's due next Monday and I need to get my two hunks together by then.

Art Crawl!!!

Ha - I defriended people on fb. Not really an onerous task because they had outstayed their welcome.

Also - NYCistas - get art from the Art Vending Machine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In not-really-onerous news, I finally made the white beans and greens that I have had in my head to make all week, even though I wanted take-out. It's delicious! But may be pasta sauce tomorrow, since I didn't pay enough attention to the recipe and used half the beans but all of the tomatoes. Also used wine cubes out of my freezer! Brilliant.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Thanks, megan. I was feeling like such a moron for not seeing it - you can send people messages on LJ and FB without knowing their email addresses; I just assumed Blogspot must have something similar and I was just failing to see it. Good to know that no, in fact, it mustn't. Good in that extremely annoying way.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I have a question you guys may be able to help me with. Am I remembering correctly or didn't Allyson have sample chapters of Vampire People up somewhere, are those still up and might they include "The Internet Wants Your Daughters"? I have some people on my fl who need to read it.
