Nothing like a long meeting with a big client that has incredibly bureaucratic processes to make you realize how much of a sleep deficit you're running.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.
'Time Bomb'
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
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.

Is this a contest? Because I’m pretty sure I’ve got you beat.

Nope, I'm happy to let you win. But it was a 1.5 hour-long meeting to accomplish nothing and to learn that our chances to accomplish something are slim.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ugh, Dana, that would be grim for a 20-minute meeting, but an hour and a half?
I have a fanfic just about ready to go, except that I suck at titles and am depending on Hec to read it through and find something. He's uncannily good at it.

My absence of sleep is well documented on b.org.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Car is at the shop, and I have a rental. With luck, this won't take too long...

Thrive to spite them
My cousin , who has 3 kids (twins and a boy) just posted for the youngest's birthday. He said that when his wife was pregnant with him the twins declared the baby's name was going to be Oatmeal, until they learned they were going to have a brother and then it had to be changed because Oatmeal is a girl's name. So the new name was Fire.
Note: his name is not Oatmeal or Fire. Although I do have a 2nd cousin whose older brothers were allowed to pick her middle name. They picked something reasonable, although they were older.

Always Anti-fascist!
yeah... mine are usually more like Friends titles. Once in a great while, something lands in my lap, but mostly? Eh. Sometimes I wonder if that affects my clearance, I mean, my *rejection* rate.

Oatmeal is kind of hilarious. Who knew it was such a gendered name? Not I!
A friend invited me last minute tonight to go see the Josie and the Pussycats movie. Still love it, omg. Shocked at how many of the words of the songs I remembered!! Much fun.
