-t, I did the same thing. I need another weekend.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Post-holiday recovery weekend. Let's make that a thing.
And now three weeks of 5-day workweeks, how am I supposed to manage that? At least I'll have a couple of days of working the outlet sale in there, which is still work but is at least different and a change is as good as a rest, right? (No, it is not, but it is better than no change)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I dreamed that I was painting an old-fashioned (think 50s) novel cover, which somehow morphed into doing an installation of tiny cut-crystal mythological figures hung in a curtain in front of a sheer red fabric panel. I wish I could remember exactly what they were, the whole thing was beautiful.
So I've got to find some kind of authentic feeling of family around science fiction fandom to write about, even though I haven't really felt that way in a couple decades.
Could you maybe write about collaborative husband-and-wife authors like CL Moore and Henry Kuttner?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I would like Matt to come and decorate my place so that I can settle in and watch Tom's movie.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I would watch Tom's movie.
Hey, did you guys know that you can watch Kings on the NBC site? [link] That show was just a couple of years ahead of its time.
Aww, hell. I DID NOT NEED TO KNOW THAT!
Gronk. Somehow, I apparently hadn't been in here since September. Apparently, also, job hunting sucks away my will to do... anything.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I kind of worked myself into a crappy attitude about my job toward the end of the weekend, but I'm going to try to refocus and support myself via pats on my own back. Right now, I have two that are non work-related: I remembered to turn my alarm clock back on over the weekend, and I am dieting via not getting sour cream on my bowl from Chipotle.

I think maybe you did need to know that.

No, he wants a personal essay. And it's for his decades-long-running print 'zine, so he probably doesn't want to hear about my online people. I know what he really wants; he wants ego-stroking about how sci-fi fandom has been better than my blood family and stuck with me thru thick and thin, but except for a couple individuals, it's not true and I don't have those stories. I mean, I could go back 30 years and tell the story of how my SFF family saved me from my psycho stalker boyfriend, but I kinda don't want to. (Not without noting that without SSF I wouldn't have had the psycho BF.) Maybe I should just talk in general, about how I found my BFF through SSF, and my first real relationship, and my second one, too, and how my life wouldn't be the same without the people I've known, etc etc. Ugh.
