At library book sale. Throw me some names of YA authors I might enjoy.

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

Most people are very boring. One guy ate at Outback every night in Las Vegas.

Huh, Robin Leach is on the Food Network. Who knew? I guess they are featuring some part of our company in an upcoming show? I'm kind of curious about that now.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Going back a bit, the bus metaphor is totally apt, and you can talk about whatever you want whenever you want.

I would absolutely judge people by their expense reports.

I'm pretty sure my Amazon prime order picker is judging me by my order, but it really was the curtain rod that I needed within two hours and not the almond milk chocolate pudding.

Ah, the old urgently-needed-curtain-rod gambit.

You never know when you have an emergency hanging-freshly-bathed-baby-sloths-out-to-dry situation.

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

No one ever accidentally puts my personal email address in as their own, but strangely it happens quite frequently with my fannish address. I just got confirmation of "my" pledge in the Doral Pebble Beach Fun Run.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So today I gave the biggest talk of my career so far. Had to answer questions from the faculty for 2 hours or so. Felt like I was taking my orals all over again.

On the plus side: 1) it's now over and 2) I think it went well

Oh crap, what if I get the job?

Yay!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Good luck, Burrell!

I am sitting in my office with the monitor feed for one show in the hall just outside the door, the monitor feed for the other across the office, and the com monitor for the 2nd show on my desk. Perfect time to read a script for a completely different show, right?
