Good luck aurelia!
In other news, Father's Day is Sunday. And I remembered! So I ordered Dad the full dvd set of the Ioan Gryffudd (sp?) Horatio Hornblower shows. He likes Patrick O'Brian, so I hope he'd like these.
The real gift, of course, is the cook who starts next Monday and will make dinner for the folks every weekday. So long as my mother doesn't freak out about it...

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Well, I just found out why UPS won't leave packages at my house- they don't leave packages at multi family dwellins with only one entrance. Since my house looks like a house, they used to just leave it there. But since my (newish) neighbor is there and goes outside and such, and she is not me, they figured out it was a multi family dwelling and won't leave it. My old neighbor also worked during the day, so they always left the packages thinking it was a single house.

Matt, my twitter feed is abuzz over some fucked up flu-like virus going around that saps people's energy. Do you have a bug?
I hope not - no other symptoms besides tiredness anyway. I didn't think anything of it earlier in the week because I was coming off 5 days of sleep deprivation thanks to biker rally and rudely early movers, but after a couple good nights and nothing more physically strenuous than my daily walks I'd expect to be feeling energetic again.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That did lead me to this Laura Shapiro vid:
Laura's vids are always so interesting. That song is from the Disney tribute album Stay Awake which also has the great Tom Waits' version of "Heigh Ho" and The Replacements doing "Cruella DeVille."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jeez louise, Sophia! You can literally never get a package.
Good luck, aurelia!
We now get emailed transcriptions of our voicemails, and they are generally hilarious, but I just got the one that takes the cake. I never realized this outside entity I work with sounds just like "yucky," but it totally does!

People, LEARN HOW TO ACT.
This would solve a multitude of problems from the micro to the macro. Also, people need to de-delicatize. Well, no, that's not an also, that's part of the original directive.

Ugh, Sophia, that's a pain. Is there anyone at the theater you could send things to?
am constantly getting told now that I am an asshole in my email communication. It makes me feel kind of bad, but I know that these southerners can't take actual aggressiveness
HAH. That was the biggest change moving to Seattle--my East-Coast aggressiveness (which was kind of hard core) was SOOO not how these people roll.
