I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

I have a pair of pants with faux back-pockets. By which, I mean they actually SEWED ON working flaps and working buttons on those flaps -- and NOTHING behind the properly-engineered and sewed-shut opening.

Otherwise VERY nice pants, but I swear if I'd noticed that detail when I tried them on, they would have gone into the Discard pile.

My sister's neighbor in Culver City has a pig that is about as tall as a lab, and yet still adorable. She's more clever than many people I run into, able to figure out any latch or clip on any door or purse (in her never-ending search for chewing gum, which she loves) and the flying leap she makes to get up onto her spot on the couch may be in my top 10 of adorable things I've seen animals do.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Not a cat person.

Next time I'm in Culver City, I'll try to have you over for some time with her. K loves her.

Because books.

The pig talk is taking me to a Misery place.

It's sad to discover that one is the only person who actually has reading comprehension in a fairly long list of people who have written about something.

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

I've been coming up against major lack of comprehensions, really. There are things I spoke about on the conference call, described and displayed on the Livemeeting, and then put into all the documents requesting permission to go forward.

To be told "Well, I didn't put two and two together..."

Uh, that's why I just wrote four.

It's frustrating in a meeting where the people running it say up front that they didn't read any of the supporting documentation that they'd asked for and received hours beforehand.

It's not my place to follow up every discussion with "Can you repeat that all back to me?" Not when I'm talking to my seniors.

Now tagless for your comfort.

We saw some adorable piglets yesterday on a field trip. Also, miniature donkeys, fainting goats and some lion-maned rabbits. LOVE!

bon, I wish DH were here to answer your question. The man writes his own crazy macros, VBA functions, and whatever other wizardry I can't name.
