I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Does $700/day for a vacation sound like a lot? That includes airfare, hotel, and food.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

How much would the hotel & airfare cost on their own?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It does to me, but I am cheap. And assuming that is per person, double occupancy?

Oh good lord - less than a month after the DG got canned for a massive clusterfuck surrounding news reports about pedophiles, now two of our presenters have admitted to having an affair with each other and are banned from appearing onscreen together.

I am working for a goddamn soap opera.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That sounds kind of high to me. Where to?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

MARS NEEDS BUFFISTAS

Heh.

Oh, and here's a little something I saw on FB today: "Christian group says demon sex makes you gay"Link

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am working for a goddamn soap opera.

Ooh, it's like The Hour but today! Masterpiece Contemporary could air the reality show.

(Note: I haven't actually watched The Hour, just the ads for it)

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

I would still be fucking screaming after that. and I wouldn't be able to sleep right for MONTHS.

Seriously. I think the poster claiming he'd nearly killed someone in a similar situation was OTT, but shit--are you really confident in everyone's reactions, so much so that there's minimal risk of harm to anyone involved.

But, you know what? That footage can't be displayed without paperwork being signed. So a) we haven't seen the really mad people b) apparently not only was this not dangerous but all those people got over it pretty damned quick when faced with money and/or TV screen time.

Which warrants a big old "Really, humanity? REALLY?"

msbelle, that depends entirely on how long the trip is (to separate airfare from hotel), what the rating of the hotel and the room is, and where the destination is.

I'm thinking most of the 80,000 settlers on Mars would stay there the rest of their lives

Do colonists generally have a temporary posting? I thought it was assumed to be a lifetime commitment.

I think this first week is going to be the hardest

Yes, seriously. There are some one time humps to be navigated here, so check them off as milestones, and focus on a) not being alone for this, familially or medically and b) many of these just need to get done the once.

I thought Antonio's performance was jarring--both in the world of the movie and in the context of all his performances to date. If that was how he was supposed to appear, well, okay--I guess it's the work I don't like, then But between that and the wig, he just didn't work for me.

Randomly, the skin on the back of my hands is so creepy smooth that I can't stop testing it. Which inevitably leads to that thing where you pluck the webbing between thumb and pointer finger to see how "old" your skin is. It's a self-perpetuating cycle.

I just finished compiling two theme weeks at my provocateuse tumblr, women (cheating) and tattoos (suggested), and although I don't think I'm gonna do another one right away, but any ideas of manageable 7 item long lists of promising pretty pictures.
