I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

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

She'll do anything but she won't do that?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Two out of three ain't bad?

It was long ago and it was far away and it was so much better than it is today?

She's praying for the end of time so she can end her time with you?

(The call would have started at 10pm her time...)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Ooh, points for creativity, Matt, but no one's got it yet.

I've got a build tomorrow that's gonna mess up my day, I know it.

I'll trade you build problems for a passive-aggressive (and clueless!) program manager.

Our wings are not tired

Also,ND- why do they always give me mics that go over the ear and have to be somehow taped to their face near the mouth which looks horrific? Is it cheaper than the ones that go in the hair, or better sound? We are in a tiny black box.

There are quite a few reasons to use one position or the other. In most cases I will use both depending on the performer and how much they project. The inverse square law is what's coming into play here. Every time you double the distance between a sound source and a microphone you lose 6dB, so when you are dealing with the very short distances involved between a mic element and an actor's mouth when mounting a microphone on the head, a difference as small as one inch can have a very large impact regarding gain before feedback.
