Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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

I really want to try the toed shoes. I am barefoot much of the time these days, but that's a problem when I have rocks and thorns and hot pavement to walk on and putting on regular shoes when my feet aren't used to them can be downright painful, so I default to crocs and flip flops, but they don't offer much protection.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I am wearing flip flops right now AIFG. I think my feet would sweat too much in the hobbit shoes. I tend to go straight from sandals/flip flops to boots.

Sounds like a fun event, Hec! Very cool.

I like Zoey D. better than Katy Perry, but Anna Friel better than both of them.

Zooey D. bugs me but there are not a lot of nerdy girls on TV so I may give that show a watch.

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

I don't think of her as particularly useful in clearing the way for nerdy girls. She's the poster child for quirky...moppet as outlined beforehand.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I haven't watched a 1/2 hour tv comedy in years, but I might have to give that show a chance for the same reason -t mentioned.

I just had an okay grilled chicken breast from the cafeteria--it would have been better if they hadn't dried it out. The saving grace was the corn salsa they put on top.

What ita said. Those shows are both hilarious and amazing, and I hadn't watched a 1/2 hr comedy in years, either.

Thrive to spite them

My old job was pretty casual on the end of business casual. And Casual Fridays sometimes looked more like Casual Saturday. BUT very rarely did anyone come in from outside the office. There were a few people who pushed the boundaries of the regular dress code but it was relaxed. Generally people dressed up more on Mondays and then things got more casual as the week went on.

When I worked for the airport, we were the only City division that did not have Casual Fridays with jeans. We were only allowed khakis on Fridays, except women could wear denim skirts, but only skirts. Other division I think were allowed to wear khakis on other days.

It just popped up on my Google Alert so I didn't know anything about it. I wonder what section he'll read...
