I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Oh! Genuinely funny surprise appearance which I will not spoil. The LSO seem to have a new synth player .

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Fay is liveblogging it on her FB, so anyone who doesn't want to be spoiled, try avoiding FB.

(I don't care, so I'm cracking up at both the actual content of the opening ceremonies and Fay's inimitable reaction to them.)

I think this is a public photo on Facebook -- a local cat rescue group is doing a "15 Shades of Gray" event where, if you adopt a gray kitty, you get a t-shirt that says "I'm into S&N" (spay and neuter). [link]

Funniest part of the whole thing (for me)? It was posted on my FB friendslist by a nun.

t edit Man, they should just sell those t-shirts to raise money. They would make a fortune.

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

You know you're famous when this [link] counts as an entry in a lookbook. Because that ain't a look. That's not even a thing.

I would like my current outfit entered into a lookbook. Mismatched PJs and all.

I'm having another tiff with developers, as fuckup guy gets defensive. We're looking at the screen with the results of what he did wrong, and he's chewing gum louder than he's explaining why it's not working. He is defiantly saying "It's Y!!!! I wrote Y!!!!" And we keep telling him we know he wrote Y, but Y is wrong. It's incredibly confusing.

And I am having to grovel my butt off getting other people to do their bits of this again and again to work around this one guy's mess ups. Every time we track down another mistake, we have to fix it and run through a whole set of steps all over again, and most of the people in that process are completely innocent. And I'm indebted to them.

lookbook

they said "spandex trousers" OMG, someone please send that to the Fug girls. Those are MF leggings. Leggings are not pants, much less trousers.

Spandex trousers. Huh.

Eta: of course that's x-posty!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh dear. Sorry, JZ

I have a strong urge to yell "MF snakes on the MF plane!!" Even with the boss gone, I realize that would not be a great move at work. Still.
