Also awesome is that he KNOWS this stuff is much more important to me than the grades, and he was so very very proud of himself.
That is wonderful to hear.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I had big work motivation this morning and powered through all the work I had plotted out for today. And now I'm stuck awaiting responses from folks with not much to do. And that motivation seems to have run away.
Go Mac, that is so wonderful. And yes, I'm with you on the comments being the big focus.

Go Mac, that's fantastic!
You guys, I am so excited about that Neverwhere cast list, it's kind of ridiculous. And it made me realize that I don't have the original version of the audiobook on my iPod, so I need to fix that tonight.

Grandma would call Aunt Jo dozens of times a day saying she was in a weird hospital and it was time for to leave and whatnot.
Hah! Yeah, that's kind of where we are, except my mother's angry at all the kids, so she's not really calling us. The staffer E just called, and said that Mom's sitting next to the door with her bags packed.
Still waiting on the haldol prescription. This keeps up, I'm the one who's going to need it...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The idea that Mac is recognising someone else's priority/reward structure and working towards that instead is so remarkably cool.
A little less remarkable but cool nonetheless--my manager has told me to go home, and I think I'm about ready to do that, considering how long it's taking me to type this.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The staffer E just called, and said that Mom's sitting next to the door with her bags packed.
People should start asking her if she's unpacked yet.

A bit of haldol all around, Consuela? I'm sorry. It'll be bad for her for a while. And then it will be less bad.

Sunday is cookie baking day at Casa de Suzi. I'm trying to work up my cookie line up so I can make sure I have the right ingredients. Ginger cookies are definitely on the list. I'm thinking some basic chocolate chip topped with red and green mini-M&Ms. Or maybe peanut butter cookies with the mini M&Ms.
I'd love to find a good, softish, cookie cutter recipe. The last couple of shortbread cookies I've tried have been too crisp and not very tasty.
Any suggestions? Recipies?
