sj, the shirt is an old Joe's Crab Shack shirt I got at a garage sale and attacked with scissors. It's all cleavagey and Flashdancey now.

smonster, I KNOW it's too far. Dammit.

I am critiquing a 4 chapter MS sample. How can I say "This is terrible, you can't punctuate, your sentence structure is more confusing than a Rubik's cube and you often use exactly the wrong words for your intended meaning. Don't quit your day job. Here's my invoice." Seriously, my eyes are bleeding.

This person wanted another opinion before a vanity press charged to pub her, and...and...SCAM. NO, NO.

Thank GOD I am not doing line or copyedits. I would stab myself.

I think I need to clean my desk. It's on my to-do list, and I can't look at this thing for more than 15 pages at a time. I'm going to have to finish it in the morning or I will have nightmares of being paper-cut to death by a copy of Strunk & White.

But tomorrow my BFF is coming over to do yoga (2 months it's been! I CREAK!) and then we are gonna pool it with the kiddo.

Awesome!

oyster sauce

Generally not vegan. Unless you're going by that weird article that came out a year or so ago that argued that oysters should count as vegan. No other shellfish, just oysters. I don't remember the reasoning.

Generally not vegan.

Ooh, fair point.

Though oysters are so tasty and so very stupid that I would certainly make an exception for them. Consider using billytea's cognitive function chart for what's edible? Octopi and crows are right out.

Anyway, the stir fry would work without the Oyster Sauce. But not without the OJ.

If it's a wild thing, I trust you put it in the bed without any supper.

Well, I didn't fertilize it, so I guess you could say, I did.

There is stuff labeled "Vegetarian Oyster Sauce" that's made out of mushrooms. I don't know why they don't just call it mushroom sauce.

We have a mushroom sauce intended for veggies around the pantry somewhere. It's not bad. (I say this as a person with a deeply conflicted relationship towards mushrooms.)

Anything called mushroom sauce should have cream in it.

Not if it's Chinese.

If it's a wild thing, I trust you put it in the bed without any supper. According to Ryan's storybooks, it's standard operating procedure.

Hee.

Oh, man, Strix, tickets are about $165 for that weekend. ::whimpers::

I don't remember the Chick tract/American Psycho connection. I haven't read the book and I walked out of the movie during the chainsaw scene.

Went out to dinner with boss and Mr. Yin. We figured out why our first few window jobs didn't make money, so that's good. Hopefully my boss can take that info to our clients and have it make sense to them. And hopefully we can also figure out how to make these processes go faster.

Pooped after my late night last night. Crashing. Sis and I are both doing better today, thanks again.
