Oh man y'all. I'm at a "gala" for the WI conservatory of music. Made a weird fast move to catch something dropping. Zipper on the side of my dress pops open from armpit to hip.

Thank God I had a sweater with me. Clutched the cardigan to me, got to the bathroom and fix d it. Ran into the mayor on the way out of the bathroom.

Oh wow. Glad you were able to cover and to fix, Brenda!!

Nice save!

I don't have the sort of job where you can just Not Talk, so I took Thursday and Friday off.

I got incredibly bored by the end of the day on Thursday (I cleaned 2/3 of my apartment. I vacuumed.), so I spent Friday riding around with my...ummfriend while he did his weekly drive-around-town-for-totally-legal-business-reasons. I had a whiteboard that I was generally using, but, in the car, eyes on the road, so I set up text-to-speech on my laptop. I feel like this is a situation with untapped comedic potential.

Are brenda and Debet both starring in spontaneously generated rom-coms?

I think Buffistas are more dramedy material. We can sustain that longer format.

So an actor I've worked with several times is at the Castle wrap party right now. He says he's going to ask Nathan why all his [the actor's] friends keep saying "shiny" to him.

Hee!
