Have you looked at Albrecht Durer? He did a lot of woodcuts with magnificent line work.

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

Whoa, that picture is astounding.

Prosecco then self-eval is totally the way to do it!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

What the heck? I got a letter today from the Surcharge Violations Board saying I'm on notice to have my license suspended for failing to pay something owing back to my license debacle last year. I paid everything! Am I going to pay this and get a notice next year and every year henceforth?! Office is closed now, so I'll have to call them tomorrow to find out what's the deal (and of course pay it, because I don't need that). My hands were shaking when I read it and for ten minutes after.

Having a glass of wine now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, nice call. Thank you.

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

Timelies all!

Time to drag out the Giant Suitcase of Doooom and pack for our trip. We fly to London tomorrow.

Oh, dang, juliebird, hope it's just a snafu and easily fixed.

Does anyone here work somewhere with no-frat? Like, across the entire company, not just within the reporting structure?

If I have I was unaware of it. Though it hasn't generally been something I've been concerned about, either.

Funeral situation. mr. flea's colleague died last week and they are having a memorial this Saturday, at a Waldorf School farm, a potluck with bonfire, children invited. mr. flea worked with S for the past 3 years, and knew him 20 years ago in grad school, and was better friends with S's wife D. I met D 20 years ago but probably wouldn't recognize her today; I never met S. We've lived in the same city these 3 years and never met socially. mr. flea wants me to get off work so we can go with the children to the funeral, which would also mean them missing a social event we had RSVPed to. If we knew the deceased or the family - if it was someone in our school community for example - I would in an instant, but as it is I am reluctant. Am I wrong? Should we go? (I am frankly doubtful I can get off work.)

Here at work they're tickled when people discover each other, so long as no drama is involved.

Why is everyone so quiet today?

I'm trying to teach myself how to create and manage SVN repositories with TurtleSVN? Other than that, I got nothing.

Across the entire company? That's nuts. Early-days WotC couldn't even manage no-frat within reporting structures, but there's a reason I describe it as "high school with a paycheck".

Always Anti-fascist!

Yes, Theo, whenever people bag on Williams as an actor, that guest shot is something I always defend--he nailed it.(Of course, being Kay-heavy and ambiguous, that's one of my favorite H:LOTS anyway.) "I had the power, but forgot who I was."
