How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

Because books.

Dublin is so beautiful.

Happy birthday, Suzi! Have you read any Jennifer Crusie? I think you'd like her, and the latest one, Maybe This Time, was better than I expected.

I've also been pushing The Scorpio Races, by Maggie Stiefvater, on everyone. It's a fantastic book, and I bet you'd love it.

I need to hire someone to hold my hand while I do hard things, which seems like every day right now. As long as hire = make cookies for.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ooh, Dublin!

My favorites are Faking It, Welcome to Temptation, and Bet Me.

Seanan McGuire's InCryptid books are a LOT of fun (Discount Armageddon, Midnight Blue Light Special, and Half-Off Ragnarok so far, with another one Pocket Apocalypse coming out next month).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So my boss just showed up and told me his flight was cancelled. Thirty seconds later the annoying client called me. I'm so glad my boss was there to take the call, as the annoying client denied two or three times that he had installed our program a certain way, and finally my boss figured out he did do what he said he didn't do.

I would have been pulling my hair out if I had to talk to him alone. He's also one of those clients who just keeps on talking without letting me get a word in and he goes off on tangents that have nothing to do with what we're talking about.

"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

Or as in every year, my biggest complaint, rockers wanting to do Hollywood glamor. Why stick with the ball gown shtick? Where's the leather and silly fun?

They need to make sure Björk attends, that way you can count on at least one person being dressed as the Empire State Building or arriving in the pouch of a giant animatronic kangaroo float.

shirft, mr. flea had a job interview in Dublin in 2011, and I went along. It's a great city and I'd love to live there (assuming I didn't have to buy a house, which looked crazy). One caveat - it's really far north, so the midwinter is dark.

But their winters are like Seattle winters and not Chicago winters. (Which is hardly winter to me at all.) I was there this time two years ago and it was cool, but green.

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

I did get home for lunch and got a chunk of burned CDs thrown away, plus 5 paper grocery bags full of shredded paper into recycling. I broke down 4 boxes for tomorrow's recycling.

Not sure what to do with all the cds I have, I don't want to keep them, but I do not have cases anymore as I kept them in sleeves in 3 ring binders.

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

msbelle, do you want empty CD cases? Because I have a bunch.
