Our theatre is being rented for a corporate meeting today. These people have walk-up music. It does break up the dryness of financial reports I guess.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
May there soon be a check that clears, Hec. That's awesome.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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

Ooh, I should do that for my next presentation.

David's been in the room where it is probably beginning to happen! Fingers crossed for awesome momentum!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Good luck Hec!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
May there soon be a check that clears, Hec. That's awesome.
It's hard to pay the rent on 12% of nothing, but if it turns into Something that'd be a mighty nice slice of pie to have.

Oh, we didn't have a booth or exhibition space. Just a tiny shared meeting room. But Toy Fair is useful because it pulls all the far flung execs together in one place which makes it easier to have a consequential sit-down.
Actual conversation that happened two weeks ago:
Ellen: "Fred wants you to do [onerous but useless task]."
Me: "Fred can go eat shit! [long rantypants about them wasting a week of my work blah blah fucked up the printing blah not getting paid for this aggravation blah!]
Ellen: "Yeah, I'm not telling him that. Will you do it?"
Me: "Yeah."

A good friend owns the lighting company that lights most of the Mattel booths at Toy Fair, it's been a big contract for him for years.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh wow -- good luck, David!

LA is having our version of winter this week. We had spring last week.
This is true. I can vouch. I realize 40 degrees doesn't sound cold to most of you, but imagine dealing with 40 degree weather in a house that has no central heating and NO insulation. Because that's my house - and probably about 40 percent of the housing stock in LA.
