Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

My co-workers claw my thighs and poop in the hallway. And they really never accomplish anything; they're very lazy.

Of course, they're CATS.

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

If you're a person who has to create business documents it should only take you a year or two _tops_ to work out how good your spelling may or may not be. If it's the sort of spelling that isn't fixed with a re-read, spell check. If it is the sort of spelling that is fixed with a re-read, SPELL CHECK. What the fuck does it cost you?

No document should get to me that can't pass a spell check. I should be looking for grammar issues and heterographic homophones. Stuff that doesn't get a red or green wiggly, that's for sure.

I often wished wistfully for a rubber stamp that said "SPELLCHECK MOTHERFUCKERS!" when I was teaching. High school AND college.

Jesus. Just run the program.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, does anyone know how you find someone to run an estate sale?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There was a company that did it for my family when my grandmother died. I guess they priced things, dealt with the sale, and took away anything that didn't sell.

Because this is New Orleans, I think they were these people, called The Funky Junk Brothers.

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

Y'all have me questioning my habit of capitalizing stuff in the subject line of e-mails. Because it's like a title, I guess?

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

If you know a local antique type shop, I would ask them if they know of a company.

I should have said... how to make sure the company you find is a good one. I feel like there is a lot of opportunity for shady dealers in that kind of business? Is that the kind of thing that Angie's List would be good for?

I guess they priced things, dealt with the sale, and took away anything that didn't sell.

Yeah, I love the idea of being able to hire someone to handle the whole thing.

Because books.

Some people just make me want to go mow down a rainforest and set fire to styrofoam, I swear.

Some days, this could be my tag line.
