We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

So I am a little hungover because I went out for beer yesterday afternoon with my work-friend D and his new staffer L.

And I learned that apparently My Nemesis is already trying to claim she's in complete charge of my program, even though I'm not even gone yet, and even though it would be madness to give it to her, because she never actually does anything.

Which won't of course mean they won't put her in charge of it. But it kills me that I spent six years working on something that is going to be trashed by institutional ignorance and her self-important mismanagement.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

What an utter, thoroughgoing piece of work she is, Suela. And how miserably frustrating. You've poured so much effort into making things functional there; I can't believe that woman is going to be allowed to shit all over it. If it all blows up and takes her with it, I hope D is around to give you updates (and maybe point out to them that they brought it all on themselves).

That is seriously adorable, Jess.

Shame on O-Dawg, both for being a coward and breaking up through a third party instead of in person, and for breaking up with Casper at all. Poor lamb.

I don't feel that it's significantly different from most crime/profiler shows, though.

Well, it is significantly prettier. I'm slightly disturbed by how much I want to live in Dr. Lecter's professional suite.

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

I have to agree with this [link] that installing eye-sensitive pause controls on my TV/DVR/XBox is radically ignoring the way life happens, TV gets watched, and how many people will turn it off immediately.

But they should tie the Nielsens to it. So that shows people never looked away from got higher ratings. And if you look away while heightened it's not as bad a thing as if your vitals are flat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

KIDS!

That is all.

Took Loki for a walk. There will be barf later. Took Pumpkin for a walkloll and attack the leash. Devi just looked at me you've gotta be fucking kidding me.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

It's snowing! They're predicting thunderstorms around noon.

IKR? We had a rainy wet winter, disappointingly snowless. I guess the snowmaker is making up for lost time. I'm glad I didn't get around to planting my container garden, though.
