Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

my perfect card for y'all/here.

YES.

Ooh, like at Kristin/Drew's wedding when Nanita said she always thought of me as a kind and gentle person and everyone who'd known me from WX/TT just burst out laughing. GOOD TIMES.

Hee.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I think that may have been the last big Buffista gathering I attended. It was an awesome one, to be sure! NEED MORE BUFFISTA!

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

Yipes, it's getting cold out there! Stay warm folks.

Relatedly, I can't believe I'm heading out of sunny LA for Chicago in 3 days. Dang MLA!! ::shakes fist::

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Everyone needs more Buffistas, indeed.

I'm not working (duh) but I have been looking for jobs. And trying to network, argh. So hard.

Well, by the time you get here, we should be back at normal winter temperatures for the region... which is only a bonus because it's currently -12F with wind chill putting it at -37F.

I've decided that I'm going to work for the duration of a Sports Night episode and then pause to clean something. And repeat until it's quitting time.

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

Thanks for the interview~ma. The phone interview this afternoon is the first one I've done in years, so I'm a bit nervous. Just made a page of notes about how various things that I've done or know how to do or want to do fit into the list of stuff mentioned in the job description.

Ooh, that was smart, Hil. I always tank my first interview of a cycle, because I forget about preparing.... Good luck!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Maybe not mallomar-level hilarious

This, THIS is how I achieved infamy (or notoriety)?

...that's actually not a bad way to do it.

I have to hire one of two finalists, and I literally cannot decide! Just when I think I've got it, one does something to sway me toward her. Argh! I think I'm just going to go with my initial gut feeling, since there is nothing else really distinguishing between them.
