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

There's no way to unsee that Orangina ad is there?

I'm taking you all down with me, if I have to go.

I just realised (from reading the good things blog) that I hate the term "Rasta hair." It's not Rasta hair. It's dog fur, for one. But what they are are dreadlocks. Not only Rastas have them, although they are required by the tenets of Rastafarianism.

Also, it's a fucking dog. I'm happy it's a healthy dog, but I doubt it has any religious inclinations.

Wow, I love all new peeves.

If you are going to switch your base OS (unix to linux), try not to schedule it so you are switching your database server OS (Sybase to MSSql) at the same time.

Next few weeks are going to kill me. So much bitty bits of code dangling around the margins are going to break.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love our First Lady.

She's adorable!

You are, of course, correct.

I just went into Sephora to return the store-brand stuff I bought over the weekend, and walked out with Bobbi Brown. Oops.

I've been trying to get to Sephora for the past week and it keeps not happening because things get too crazy to leave the office. It's annoying but at the same time I feel like I'm being protected from myself.

It's true! Oh, brenda, are you going to be here Thursday?

No, dammit - client cancelled the meeting today. We might be able to reschedule. Or rather, they will reschedule but the timing they are talking about is not possible for me. But I'll let you know if that changes!

Bummer! Well, I'm generally here and often free!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Mother's Day Gift?

Those actually made me a bit queasy, to be honest.

We found a box filled with our teeth after my parents died. It was both gross and kinda charming--I mean, they had to have loved us to want to hold onto our baby teeth like that. Of course, ask me what happened to Franny's baby teeth so far.

I don't know what it is about Tuesday, but the fitness center upstairs is always packed. I could do more work, but I'll probably just read Go Fug Yourself for a while and then head back up to see if a treadmill is free.
