Oh, also, I was watching upcoming movie trailers on IMDB (will never do that again) and caught the trailer for Tusk. Disturbed me, had to look it up. Read the entire synopsis, had the worst fucking nightmare in years. Such body-horror, omg.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

I was at the airport early and decided to get me some more of that oprah chai. Ordered, paid, waited for the several people in front of me to get my drink, and THEN the barista says "oh, actually we are out of that..." And seemed annoyed that I was annoyed--if they'd said it when I ordered, or even before I waited, I would've been fine, but I'm at an airport. You think I have time to wait for my drink an then also wait for a refund? Blah. The Starbucks at the airport I'm going to better have it, is all I'm saying!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Etiquette question: I had a job interview Friday before last, and sent thank you emails to both people. I met with one of them again this past Friday, as well as with two of her supervisees (for whom I do not have email addresses). Should I send another thank you email? The person I would be sending it to did not reply last time, if that makes a difference.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I really do not feel like cooking. Pot luck tomorrow, gotta be done.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Steph, do you read io9?
Exclusive Nimona Cover Explores A Friendship Between Villain And Minion
People are like, "Are Nimona and Ballister romantic?" And I'm like, "No! Of course not." "Well are Ballister and Goldenloin in a relationship?" And I'm like, "Yeah, okay."
Heh.
Also, is 'Sir Mansley Girthrod' the best name for a knight ever?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would always send a thank-you email, and not expect a response.

Thanks for mentioning thank you notes! I'd completely forgotten to send one to today's phone interviewers. And now that's fixed.

If you wash towels with new eggplant purple sheets, you will be left wearing a fine coating of purple lint every time you use said towels. Debating running 'em through a second wash...
I'm taking next week off. I think. Catching up on my email and reading the proposed test schedule had me fleeing to a back room in the server room to swear loudly.
Now. Just need to schedule my week with a project or three or it'll be spent wasted and resentful.

Steph, do you read io9?
I do, but I hadn't read the Nimona article. Good stuff!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm leery of outlet stores since finding out that a lot of manufacturers produce items directly for the outlets and they're not as good as the regular stuff with their name on it.
Check the tags. For most brands, the stuff produced specifically for the outlet has a different tag (usually something like two or three diamonds or stars under the name of the brand.)
