Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Radio saying the only is suspect dead from self-inflicted gunshot wound. 1 student in the hospital in critical condition after confronting the shooter, 1 other student with minor injuries. Shooter was apparently going after a teacher. Danger appears to be over.

Calm~ma to Suzi and CJ and theirs.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

They just interviewed a parent outside the school who said her husband was a freshman at Columbine when that shooting happened. I just can't imagine.

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

I desperately want to go get my nails done and have wine, but alas, not in the plans. Maybe I will motivate and do them myself tonight, but that pretty much guarantees nothing else getting done.

I think it might be a top shelf vodka night for me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Isn't this one at a high school? Columbine was just 14 years ago.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mostly quiet weekend here. I have one more present to buy. Unfortunately, I have to brave Toys 'R Us to get that done.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'm going back to the whacked things pets do that are just wrong: my parents have a cat who had mommy issues with the female dog, Charlie. In that this grown-assed cat would knead the doggys tummy while nursing on her nipples, and Charlie would just roll over and accomadate it. Oh so wrong, and OUCH! I saw what my kitten did to the bottle's nipple when she got to old to feed that way.

ION, have to write out a self-review for Monday. One of the questions is "Can you communicate without attitude [paraphrased]?".

Um, no? /passive-aggressive font

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am having Utz cheese popcorn for dinner, and regretting not buying more bags when I saw it at Christmas Tree Shop.

So, here's the social engineering I have already done at work, three days in: In the bathroom, there is a handrail along the wall next to the tp dispenser. There are a bunch of mostly-used rolls of tp along the rail. I started using one, and then putting it on top of the dispenser, and people totally use that one! I swear I got rid of three partially-used rolls in two days.
