Two blazer and five blouse changes later, I have settled on my outfit for the interview. The Lagerfeld blazer didn't quite work (it has an asymmetrical front closure, which looks cool, but I know I would fidget with it), so I went with the equally lucky (yard sale score!) black wool Dior blazer. The blouse is a pink men's-style collared shirt that has black silk ruffles down the front button placket. (Almost like a 70s tux shirt, but in cotton and silk instead of polyester.)
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

WOO, NEW PC, erika!!!
I lovelovelove homemade aioli (especially when used to dip rosemary pomme frites in OMG NOM) but I have only tried mayo with canola oil, not olive, and that shit is NAST.

I don't even know.
Well, lots of sandwiches are just dressed with olive oil.
When we get the fancy tuna that's all it needs on a good crusty bread.
I remember the first time I ate at an Italian restaurant and got a little dish of olive oil to dip my bread instead of butter. "Wha?" said my brain, but my tongue had the override.

When I get fancy tuna, it is raw and is called toro and I want to eat 8000 pounds of it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yes. It is.

So good! See, it's not that I don't like olive oil. It has to be on that crusty bread, though.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
question for the over-educated (or properly-educated, to some): how would one translate into latin: "never eat more than you can lift."

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Thanks for the advice and well-wishes, everyone. I slept, which is the most I could ask for, I get, but I still feel all adrenaline-shaky and my chest feels tight. Not fun. This has been going on for the past few days as some anxieties are making their way to the fore.

Our wings are not tired.
Sleep is a good thing. May the anxieties flee your vicinity.

Good luck today, Jilli!
Anne, wishing you calmer days.
