All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Doing the test quickly, with tired eyes, I got an 11. I like to think I could achieve a 0 if I took the time.

This evening's adventures in live theatre included a power outage just as the transition between the first 2 acts was complete. Conveniently, the only actor on stage at the moment was carrying a lantern. The real fun is that you never know what won't work after the power comes back on. The hazer worked, but the ventilation did not. And a 5K fresnel with a red gel refused to turn off when it was supposed to. If brownouts continue I may start a pool on which moment in the play we lose power.

Happy Birthday Hec!

Dear cats, 4:30 AM is NOT the morning. You are NOT getting fed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, David!

You could tell them no. My dad was the first person I knew who did that. They tried to raise the rent, and he refused. Of course, he was willing to move.
If the building isn't too popular, try negotiating. Can't hurt.

Interesting -- you're right that it can't hurt. I can't figure out their master plan here -- they are doing short-term furnished rentals, but I have no idea how successfully, and they could just kick me out entirely, due to the no-lease issue. Meh.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I got about halfway through the first row on the color test and decided I don't care how good my vision is. Also the colors look completely different depending on which monitor I'm using.

Happy Birthday, Hec!

I couldn't make the colors move on my iPad, so I stopped. I'll try on the laptop later.

I have tomorrow off, yay.

Cash, that was awesome to read. Been thinking about you.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Happy birthday Hec!

Jesse, maybe you can be like Bartleby the Scrivener and just say you prefer not to.

The Supreme Court is likely to hand down the health care decisions today (there are four; no one knows if they will write one opinion or four). SCOTUSblog will start live blogging from the court at 8:45, the court comes in at 10 a.m., and all the decisions will be announced (probably) by 10:30, and everyone seems to believe that the Chief Justice will write health care, so it will be announced last. They have a "plain English" summary here of the four questions to be decided: [link]
