Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

I am recovering in the hotel room after a long day of shopping, before we probably go out some more tonight!

I have to work my first Saturday tomorrow. I have to be there by 6. Of course I had already scheduled a sleepover with one of mac's friends and of course it is the weekend before school starts. Granddad, the trooper, is coming over at 5:30 to be here with the boys.

overtime, overtime, overtime

Ugghh, overtime. Over the last three weeks (since vacation), I have had 8, 14, and 12 hours of OT each week respectively. Thankfully I'm salried non-exempt and get paid for it, but still. I've even given away a few of my projects and my workload is still nuts. I know I'll be putting in hours over the weekend too.

I'm thinking of buying this necklace with some of my OT pay.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

The finance administrator forgot the agreement for my temp pay raise. Gave me partial petty cash as a salve. If she forgets again next week I'm gonna be pissed.

They will not let me have that much overtime unless we were way way busier.

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

I don't like my hair right now but I don't know what I want to do to it, so I keep not getting it cut and just being dissatisfied with it. If I wait long enough I'll have more options for what to do with it, but meanwhile it will probably get less flattering and more annoying. Maybe I'll drop in to the place that used to be a bank and says they take walk-ins and see if someone there has an idea.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Wow, Patton was really using Twitter in a big way to make a point. Not sure how I feel about that. but it does fit well into his style of comedy.

ita, I read an article in the New Yorker from the most recent issue. Have you ever been checked or treated for an autoimmune problem? Because some of the symptoms sounded spot-on with some of yours in the article I read.

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

Was that online? Can you give me a link to it?

Who would be looking out for that? An allergist? I have seen one with respect to this stupidity.

One of the books I just bought is TREASURY OF AMERICAN PEN-AND-INK ILLUSTRATION 1881 TO 1938. I want to eat it, not just ingest the style, I need to work through it, identify the pictures that achieve what I want to work on, which s basically this [link] effect (never mind the linework--that is epic and aspirational, but not practical) where he has the darkest plane in the middle of the picture, and that's often where the centre of focus is.
