I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Congratulations, Frank!

Strix, that sounds like a really uneven friendship. I'm sorry she decided to end it in such a cowardly manner.

In other news, I hate Articulate.

Punishingly Intricate

We're playing a 90s show tomorrow night. A benefit. Am nervous about playing but I think my outfit is good--overalls, Docs, and a teeny tiny Tupac teeshirt.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am highly in favor! IME, works great.

Exxxcellent!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Holy crap. Just got an e-mail that one of my co-workers died last night. I was talking with her yesterday and have worked with her since I moved to Colorado five years ago.

So far no explanation of how - just that she "passed away unexpectedly". I'm stunned, shocked, reeling... She is just a bit older than me and has a daughter, about the same K-Bug. I.... Crap. Crap. Crap.

Yay Burrell's sister being a bit better.

Boo kiddos who can't get their shit together to do homework or pass classes. God knows what I'll ever do if I have kids like that--my slacking off was, like, getting a B. I wouldn't have the faintest what to do with them.

And if I WEREN'T doing well with my depression, this last week would have me in a shuddering mess on the floor, and instead of going semi-catatinic, I'm PISSED, applying for jobs, and cutting my hair and doing housework. So fuck her.

Aw. Sorry about the friend Strix. Think she'll come to her senses? 20 years is a lot to throw away.

First project for the brand new head of the business I support, a guy who is very senior and known in this industry. One of my guys forwarded me his reaction: "I think she nailed it."

Kick ass, Brenda!!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Suzi, I am so, so sorry.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Good going, Brenda!

One day Adobe products will make an easy and seamless transfer from one computer to another with no complications, and I will most likely pass out from the shock.

Ann, that's a ferret.

All sympathies, Suzi and workplace.

Suzi, I hope you are okay. It is so shocking to lose a work-friend.

I rode the bus in to work from a presentation in the community this morning, and it's been 20 minutes and I still smell STRONGLY of the terrible perfume someone on the bus was wearing. Any tips on how to de-stinkify myself? I took off my jacket, and I'm at work, so further efforts need to be work-friendly (like, I cannot take a shower, or rub a lemon on myself, or stuff like that.) I mean, I can BARELY STAND myself. HELP.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Flea, where's it clinging to? If it's clinging to your hair, can you wet it?
