Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Now tagless for your comfort.

KITTENS DOWNSTAIRS!!

Their pictures have been very distracting. I can't imagine the live versions would be less so.

I interview Owen about his first non-stop motion lego movie. [link]

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

Nathan drove the Vanishing Point car in Drive.

I can't believe that even exists! It sounds *so* fucking cool. I gotta remember--that for anything any group of people do, there's probably a convention of some ilk for it, where they nerd out and just do it when no one's paying to look. And talk about it forever too.

Don't you remember Jon B.'s Theremin Camp?

Also, Tiki fans have an annual Tiki Oasis in Vegas every year. All Tiki All the time! At least that one comes with a lot of automatic drinking as part of the culture.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My boss hosts a safety razor convention every year.

I am not even joking.

I think there's less shenanigans there than at a roller derby convention or a tiki oasis.

The Black & Blue Ball is like a Roman Bacchanalia.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I am in DMV hell. Waiting so CJ can get his permit.

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

When I got my driver's license renewed about 15 years ago and had to go to the DMV, I took a book with me.

I nearly finished that book during the time I was waiting for my 5 minute appointment. IN-SANE.

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

Allyson, fantastic car! You don't need to dress better or lose weight to drive it, all you need is a tattoo and a mad gleam in your eyes.

Congrats on employment, Tom!

msbelle, better job ~ma.

I can't believe it's 1:30 already. I've accomplished almost nothing today. Motivation is nil.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My day thus far:

helping someone with 2 basic elements of doing an expense report
moving 2 meetings around on boss's calendar
getting someone's conference call code for boss
attending previously mentioned HR de-motivation meeting
going to get lunch for 2 bosses
ordering lunch for a meeting tomorrow
ordering breakfasts and lunches for meetings Wed & Thur
coding receipt charge for lunch from last Wed's lunch
answering a couple of emails, one of which was committing to cover front reception from 1-2

so hey - that is in 10 min and I haven't eaten yet, so lunch for me may not even happen today, despite my day being all foodcentric.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

first call/email will be to the firm that placed me here.

Smart. If nothing else, they should know.

I just interviewed a person who just graduated from college in May! Cute.
