We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have it on my iphone!

I play all of them, pretty much.

Lisah--because people told me to! Is lexulous available for my phone?

Possibly? I haven't tried to find it for my droidy phone but I have it on my iTouch. I like the interface better on lexulous and it tells you how many points a word is before you play it which means no math! (Words w/ friends may also do this but i haven't figured it out.)

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

I can't articulate why I like words with friends more. Feels more like scrabble.

5. “Problem-solving skills”

6. “Detail-oriented”

They're right about those being fairly meaningless filler that everyone claims. But I think they're ignoring the fact that they're also something that every HR department claims is required for any and every position. So I think leaving them out could be risky.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, if the meaningless cliche words are in the job posting, they should be in your application, no?

I add them, because I know that some resumes (especially those submitted electronically) are initially reviewed by bots, and if they don't have the keywords, they don't get to a human review.

I talked to a guy I know and mentioned that I hadn't gotten a job I applied for in his org, and he said that he was on the hiring committee and hadn't seen the resume. Turns out that the position had asked for a master's degree, and my resume was not sent forward because I had a JD. @@

is Angel S5 better than S2?

As a season, no. At an episode level it's a little trickier... I think S5 varies more in quality; there are a few episodes I think are fantastic, and also some I absolutely loathe. I don't think S2's best is quite as good, but its worst isn't nearly as bad.

Oh, I know: Spike's only in one S2 episode, and Fred's only in three of them. So S2 is better!

Oh good GOD. I'm sorry. I hate that kind of stupidity.

Fred's only in three of them

She was at her best there too. I loved bloody fist Fred. Then again, she was pretty good when she bought it too.

I think I over-used my brain today. Need respite. Must read more, though. And make sense of it.

Kneecaps? I hate you. Why so tender?
