Running out of citrus is bad. So is running out of carbonation for the soda stream.

The right side of my bottom lip has been twitching on and off (but mostly on) for 2-3 days now. How do I make it stop??

Also, I emailed my boss tonight (after I worked from 6:30AM-8AM and 8:30AM until 8Pm and 9PM-11PM) to point out that there are 16 working days in August that I am not on vacation, and if I do everything they want in the way of traveling, I old need 17.5 days to do it and that's without emailing, writing the reports,or all the other miscellaneous stuff I have to do. Something's gotta give....I'm just hoping its NOT the work trip to Hawaii! :)

Now tagless for your comfort.

From the outside, having a twin is like having a scab. You cannot stop scratching and poking at it even when you know it will make you bleed.

It's like that on the inside, too.

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

How do I make it stop??

Sleep. When I've had facial twitching it was always when I was working mad hours. I had a twitch below my eye that lasted a month.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

The other thing for twitching with me was nutrients, in that case, magnesium.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait, le nubian, I don't understand how other people's stuff got in your box? But generally, WTF.

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

Yo, is it racist to keep suggesting white actors for a fictional character with an obviously Chinese name on the basis that it's sci-fi and "in the future, maybe people with that last name won't even look Asian anymore"?

(Xposted to the obvious place, because ARGH OMG PEOPLE STOP BEING STUPID.)

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

Jesse,

I don't understand it either. It is a big box and I guess it wasn't taped up that well, but damn.

Art Crawl!!!

Love this morning: cool, dry, lovely breeze. Good job multiple t-storms last night.

This means I can depart from my lovely a/c having friends and sleep in my own bed tonight! And get yelled at by my own cat! And finally watch my tv.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Kat, I had a dream about you and the twins last night! I was standing in line for something and I turned around and saw Grace and Noah, and it was such a happy surprise! So I went looking for you and we sat down on a wall and talked for a while, and the twins were running around being goofy and chattering, and Grace had the loveliest voice. It was a really nice dream.

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

Jessica, what role is that? I got caught up in Hiro Protagonist casting, because a guy named Hiro is clearly Japanese, and why am I being so picky about stuff, and this was just supposed to be a game, and if you have to know things or do research (how can people even type that with a straight face in an age of google and wikipedia--poor babies, with the trips uphill to the libraries...) and most women you're going to encounter named Natasha are Russian.

Jesus, get out of my sci fi forum, will you? There should be criteria for entry, if we can't have them for existence.
