Ginger is wise. We all knew that, but sometimes it needs repeating.

If I feel like I need a cathartic cry, I watch Lilo & Stitch. If I need a cathartic cry wrapped in a fancy stripey bow, I watch Big Fish.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Aww. Ginger. That sort of made me teary, too.

In other news I HATE MICROSOFT PUBLISHER!!! I hate it when people lay their stuff out in it and I have to make it pretty. Just tell me what you want and I will do it! Also, USE STYLES people!!!! Or possibly, use the university approved fonts so I do not have to change them textbox by text box

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

Ginger is wise.

Tep, I am so torn between reading every minute that I can because I am dying to know what happens next and just not picking the damn book up because I know it is going to rip my heart out. And eventually it will be over and I don't want that.

Also, took me a minute to parse UPS as not being part of the UP conversation...

That which does not kill you should RUN

And eventually it will be over and I don't want that.

That, too. I mean it's a lot of books, so I shouldn't be greedy, but...I am.

(Last Stand of Dead Men is the only SP book that I haven't re-read. I just give it the stinkeye when I see it on the shelf. I'll re-read it eventually, just...not for a while. And it's not that it wasn't good; far from it. That fucking book.)

I think I'm going to have to tank a build schedule in a meeting in 10. I'm sorry, if you cannot configure the test system so that I can acceptance test, I'm not letting you configure ops.

I know what you mean. ETA: that was to Tep. I do not really know what sarameg means, although it sounds reasonable.

There is a page in the back announcing that Derek Landry will be starting a new series in 2015. So there's that.

I really do need to write Derek Landy and tell him we used dialogue from Dark Days in our wedding vows.

our next-door neighbors get a UPS delivery almost every week day

Sketchy 'business' aside, I'm just marveling that people can get UPS to deliver a package at all, let alone one every weekday.

UPS is, for some reason, the reliable delivery service in our neck of the woods. USPS is from hell.

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

I get a UPS delivery every couple days. Because I shop online a lot. Now I wonder what my neighbors think. Nah, I don't care what they think.

Not reading Buffistas will be especially hard. But if I open up the computer to do anything, I will soon be all over FB and Tumblr and it will be five hours later when I surface. Cold turkey is the only way.
