Brenda, three hours of calls before 8am is just wrong. Dang.
Good luck msbelle and t!
I don't want to get up. It's cold out and my bed is so cozy. I already read my emails.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This [link] came across my dash. It's an artist complaining that Disney stole her work--both line for line, and then a redraw based on it. I'm not sure how much control one can exert over the redraw (it's Alice doing the same thing as her picture, framed the same way, but a Disney styled Alice, not the ornate one like hers). But since they also seem to have used it identically, that becomes less relevant.
And now I have to track down that site that was for people who had their art stolen.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The clouds are moving so fast that it feels like watching a time lapse.

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

Huh. Same here.

It is crazy windy outside.
Still on conference calls. Another 90 minutes to go before I get a break.

Because books.
It's gorgeous here, and will be close to 70 today if it's not already. Unfortunately it's also stupid hot in this loft, and the ceiling fan doesn't work.

W/rt Thatcher, I know we're not supposed to speak ill of the dead, but Roz Kaveney has no such qualms: [link]
Pretty impressive, and chilling.

I never understood that. What about Hitler or Stalin? Just because you're dead you shouldn't get a pass.

Yeah Maggie Thatcher can go rot in hell. Dag it's crazy gusty.
