I think if you aren't used to trail running, are you really going to want to run a 5K through unfamiliar woods?

I have only ever done 5Ks on unfamiliar trails, so I don't know. But I understand not everyone prefers trail running like I do, so it is probably a concern to at least some.

Careful with those capes! This is the one with capes, yes?

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

I was poking around craigslist's "creative gigs" section and found this:

Looking for Promo/Street Team Girls for a Musician (Chicago)

Looking for promo girls and street team girls. Between the ages of 18-35. Preferably over 21. Looking for girls to accompany musician to events, shows, and other outings. Must be willing and able to party/socialize with fans. Please contact through email. This is a paid gig.

Is this guy (sounds like a guy) looking to hire an entourage of women to follow him around? Is this common?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, one of the assistants here is such a bad assistant! He's setting up a call, and gives the main person's cell phone number for the outside person to call. I asked if main person was going to be out of the office, and he is not. So I suggest he give the number for the speaker phone in his office. The assistant says, "I have no idea what that number is." OK, can you find out? "I mean, I would have to find it physically on the phone...?" Right. Our office is not that big. So he just added a conference line to the meeting. It is a two-party call! ISTG.

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

That is crazy, Jesse.

Just got a call from my loan officer about the verification of rent statement they just got back. It says I've lived here for a year (I've been in this apartment a year but in the community for 7 - so ok, no big) and that I've had 15 late payments.

Twelve months. Fifteen late payments. How does that work and why didn't the person filling out the form not go - huh, that looks odd. I've had 1, count them 1, late payment in the last year and it was cause I paid after hours on the due date. My bad...but seriously. ONCE.

I talked to the only seemingly sane person in the rental office, am having the form re-faxed to him to complete and send back. OY.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My early conference call is for global reasons, but I remain unconvinced that I need to be on the call. Plus, Tuesdays are rehearsal days, which makes for a long day and a grumpy me.

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

On our last show we had an LD who insisted that his tech table be covered with duvetyne. I kept slipping paper clips under the fabric to see if he'd notice, but I guess he's not a real princess.

I don't know what duvetyne is, but I laughed out loud at this.

but no, my brain decided that half an hour before my normal wake-up time was when we were going to be up, by god.

Opposite! I slept until 11 this morning. ELEVEN. Didn't even hear the alarm. I woke up and thought it was about 7am; it was cloudy and raining, so the lack of light fooled me. I can't sleep all morning on a weekday, brain, no matter how late we were up the night before.

Duvetyne - what they make duvets from?

Oh, that's unfortunate timing Dana. And if you don't need to be on the call, yeah, I'd be hella grumpy.

That was my assumption!
