Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Vacation good, Gud!
It's slowly dawning on me that I as a full-time employee with have stuff like paid vacations and holidays. Less free time, of course, and boring work at best, but Actual Benefits included.
(I start training as a supermarket cashier tomorrow night. I probably have repeated that too many times already, but it looms large in my life at the minute.)
I can't believe they're reporting a local story about Prospect Park in the Guardian: [link]
That's a great piece. I especially enjoyed this bit:
Among these disaffected residents is, by coincidence, Sadik-Khan's predecessor as the city's transportation commissioner, Iris Weinshall, whose tenure is not recalled for its visionary overhaul of city planning and traffic management. Weinshall happens to be married to Charles (Chuck) E Schumer, Democratic senator for New York.
ION, I feel like I could use a day off, but it's just because there were so few full workweeks in December and January, and now it's been several in a row! WTF, five days of working??
Fuuuuuck. There is so much wrong with my car (and I was right: snapped clutch cable. That's the cheap part.) I have not attained quite Kristen's repair bill, but close. And it probably won't be ready for ANOTHER day.
build a trebuchet
Always fun.
five days of working??
Yeah, it doesn't seem right.
Ugh, sara. Sorry to hear about all the car woes.
I have a spoiler question: when is a spoiler no longer a spoiler? How long after a movie is in general release do you figure it's okay to talk about who killed who or whatever without using the word "spoiler" to warn people away? I'm fuzzy on the deets, but I figure after 1 year, it's on me to not click on links about movies I don't want to know plot details about, at the outside.

Good question. I don't know. But I'm pretty sure it's OK to tell people Rosebud is a sled.
WHAT.
Yeah, I get bummed out when I learn things before I see the movie sometimes, but it really is on me. As long as the person isn't doing like my mother, who is always like, "Oh, you just started reading the next book in that series? The one where the main character dies??" OMG MOM I DID NOT KNOW THE MAIN CHARACTER DIES BECAUSE I HAVE NOT READ IT YET AS I MENTIONED.
