It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am secretly hoping for an Abed-style meara-meets-a-third-person-who-is-a-better-match situation, frankly.

First attempt at deviled eggs with my new disposable bags and fancy decorating tips a success! Pancetta got stuck in the tip, and I thought I had the largest one, so in the future I will try it with the coupler and no tip. This time, just cutting a slightly bigger hole and using just the bag, no tip, was fine. And I love the clear disposable bags.

So taking your own hardware and software to interviews isn't weird?

That seems REALLY weird to me. Being asked for samples, sure. Bringing your own equipment and creating something for the interviewer? No, I've never run into that.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay, meara!

So taking your own hardware and software to interviews isn't weird? How does it normally go down?

Seems weird to me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

If I'm going to be asked to create something during the interview though, I'd probably prefer to use my own equipment. The time to learn the quirks of their set up is maybe not in the middle of an interview. Still, apart from basic software testing at agencies, I've also never run into needing to do a demonstration during an interview.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And I love the clear disposable bags.

Yeah, they are great!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

No, just tiling the whole bathroom. We only have one bathroom, so redoing it is a logistical issue, plus lots of dough, probably.

Why can't the world go to a nighttime existence in the height of summer? Does anyone really need to be out under the sizzling orb? An existence where I say it's "only" 93 degrees is not a happy one.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Ugh. I just spent 3½ hours cleaning, I’m exhausted, and yet my apartment? Still not clean. More of the same tomorrow.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I picked up my vegetables this morning and put everything away, including kitten-proofing the sweet corn on the counter. I went back out to get a haircut with a new stylist, which turned out fine. I walked 5 miles. I made corn, tomato, and cucumber salad. Now I'm decluttering my bedroom to make it easier to DUST ALL THE THINGS later on.

I need to figure out what I'm making for dinner.
