You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

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

I just looked at 2858 and read it as 4579. I should probably take a break.

a new restaurant here that is called "Mamaleh's Delicatessen" that sells meat and milk

Surely not together in the same dish?

I managed to meet two very tight deadlines today by working at breakneck pace, and the client really likes the look of one oddball unit I sent in that we were really shooting in the dark on. Also, after paying bills my budget has enough give to buy a much-needed new pair of cargo shorts, and my British Sirens DVD arrived by Royal Mail today (still haven't found out if my Blu-ray player can actually play it yet). So, pretty much a banner day all the way around.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I didn't see the full menu, but I'm sure they have a Reuben. But just having bagels with cream cheese and lox on the same table with a corned beef sandwich kind of gave me a wiggins.

Oh- Damp makes sense!!

Ha! I changed my answer from damp to prevention, and maybe one other answer and my score went up!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I dropped my camera in the sand TWICE today, and now it will turn on but cannot focus, I assume because there's sand all up in the lens-extending mechanism. Now, this is a point-and-shoot that's at least 6 years old, and possibly 7, so I'm not super fussed. Except it is inconvenient, because I'd like to keep taking pictures of shenanigans this week. But other people have cameras, and/or there's a Wal-Mart just across the bridge on the mainland if I really can't survive without a camera.

But I'm the kind of person who really needs to do a lot of research before I replace my camera, so I don't know that I'll impulse-purchase one down here.

I'm also at (what I hope is) the tail end of a migraine. But other than than, vacay is good. No sharks, no sunburn. YET.

I cannot express how much I love this. I love having a President who is a writer and an intellectual.

I'm scrolling through the citations for his article. So pleasing!

So. Much.

How is this possible? I worked until midnight last night, it's now 8:30pm, and this is STILL a shitload of work in my inbox. If you looked at my virtual desktop right now, you'd think I hadn't done anything in a week. I cannot possibly finish all this before I go on vacation tomorrow. I'm having a bit of a panic, here. This is ridiculous, that I can't get my work DONE enough to go on a vacation!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

a marvel exec liked the focus on girls... whoa.

Well, they do have Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Squirrel Girl, and Patsy Walker, Hellcat. So they have been working that tween girl market. Also there's a new black girl character that will be donning Iron Man's armor.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The Richard Dawson kissing thing was definitely a bit much.
