Buffistas

Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Weekend Plans people?

Two different parties, and writing.

ION, Pete got me a copy of the Vanity Fair with the big "How Microsoft Lost Its Mojo" article, and I just finished reading it. No on who is still working at MSFT should read it, because they will become even more depressed than they already are, but it's accurate. The article has quotes from two former senior managers I worked with, and talks about the fiasco that was how Microsoft Reader was treated.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I don't think the Rookie tour's made it to LA yet, Allyson.

I'm seeing Neko Case tomorrow night, Spiderman matinee on Sunday. Tonight I'm going to see a dance performance by a troupe a friend is in, if I can motivate to leave the house.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Weekend plans: I'll be driving down to DC, for the sign language course I'm taking that starts Monday.

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

I am thinking of making a job of commenting on articles in the Jamaica Observer. Except--I think they're censoring me--my Post button is greyed out. I feel quite systematically oppressed right now.

This morning was difficult for a number of reasons. I felt a strong urge to wear my Superman belt buckle and my pearls-on-tulle necklace, and I don't own a top that can pull those together. I went with the pearls, but given the t whisper meeting t /whisper maybe I needed superpowers.

And, dammit, if I'd had half an idea, I'd have brought a chocolate bar from home. I'll have to make do with crap from vending machine...

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I don't think the Rookie tour's made it to LA yet, Allyson.

Oh, excellent! I have time to bring muffins.

Sorry to hear about the bullshit, ita.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think I have the BEST weekend plans of all the buffistas:

I am packing this weekend. And shredding.

Beat THAT.

how many managers do you have to report to?

In theory, one. Someone else was expecting to learn of information, but nowhere in my responsibility am I actually tasked with telling him. So...gap, and not mine. I am hoping that when he calmed down he realised this, because it would have been...gauche of me to point it out.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I kind of want to bring her a blueberry bagel just to hear her go off.

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

Curtis Luciani writes the response to Tosh that I've been trying to come up with. [link] I never really got past "Castration jokes are hilarious! (still think its funny?)"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The thought of a blueberry bagel where the berries spell out FUCKOS is making me happy.
