I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Punishingly Intricate

Lisa, one of my Brooklyn Facebook friends posted this morning how excited he was that Atomic Books was getting a bar!

Ha! Awesome. Wonder if he lived here or what? They do have fans all over.

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

A friend of mine lived in Camden for years, and she loved it.

That whole area is gorgeous. As is the Wiscasset/Boothbay/Damrascotta area. And Rockland has come a long way from the way it used to be.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because books.

Oh my god, I hate my job. We were just told that when we're instructed to, we have to comment on our crap content, including Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+. Or, you know, we'll get FIRED, since some poor soul has been designated to keep track of the user names we have to give her by five today.

It's not possible to have two Google+ accounts, is it? Because I'm not using my own. I already created a fake Twitter, though.

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

Ooh, thank you, Jesse! Marking to peruse during my leisure time...

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Amy, yes it is. You can have a google+ account tied to whatever gmail acct you have.

Can you just do twitter and linkedin or do you have to do ALL of them?

Because books.

We're supposed to use all of them, although "Facebook is optional since it's more family and friends."

I'm not creating a fake LinkedIn -- I wouldn't even know where to begin. But I'm also not posting bullshit there with my name on it, or on my Google+ account. I just can't figure out how to make a second one.

Ugh, Amy.

I think this weekend I am going to Target. I need a lot of drugstore stuff and a new toaster oven and now I want popsicle molds! But maybe a toaster oven is too much to carry and I should order it? Hmm. At least I can go poke the machines in person.

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

Ugh, DH had a job like that once - the magazine's website was getting no traffic, so the staff was instructed to create sockpuppets and fake comments on all the articles. (Or was it that they were supposed to create fake profiles for the online dating site attached to the magazine? I forget.)

Either way, it was WAY ethically shady, and the magazine went under completely less than a year later.
