So funny. I really don't love the Broken Earth books, but I adore all her earlier work.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I once had a dream that Satan fell in love with a girl named Masada, and her love made him compassionate, and that made G-d so angry He tried to kill them with lightning bolts but they got away by hiding inside a mountain. I don't know why I remember that dream.
Because that would make a pretty good three issue run of Sandman.
I spent about half an hour standing around an upscale gift shop sniffing super fancy expensive candles to decide which one to get for my deluxe candle aficianado.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, that looks nice.
I am checking off to-do items like a motherfucker. Since work, went to TJ's, started pork spread, wrote notes to my team. Check check check!! (On the pork, I threw in a little bacon fat and a little crisco and it looks to be OK. We'll see.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Dear body
This is a stupid time to come down with a cold. Please just don't. We'll take a sick day in January if you can pull it together for the days we already have off.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just had my year-end review. I did not get a raise--and not because we are not giving raises, because "my work this year does not merit a raise." I got a $1,000 bonus, which I am not complaining about. I also got to meet with the COO, who told me that "it's not like your job is that difficult."
I am so sick of this place and of HR and can't wait to get out of here.

That place does not deserve you, Scrappy. Ptui.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I also got to meet with the COO, who told me that "it's not like your job is that difficult."
Way to build morale at the end of the year.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Tomorrow we fly to visit my parents in Florida, in their probably-not-very-childproofed condo. (which is also the land of limited internet access for us) Whee.
