I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Natter 37: Oddly Enough, We've Had This Conversation Before.  

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

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Alliteration, I think, Emily.

What? I'm too nap-muzzied to respond to goat-fandom-craxy stuff. Now must go feed Mom and grill chicken before it turns and kills us all.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

We have ads for those kinds of "personal assistants" in the local weekly. It's all "attractive female" "travel involved" etc. It creeps me out. I was hired as a PA at my last job, but we changed it to admin because of the creepy factor associated with PA.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Today has been wild. Last night I got a lead on a job. The job hasn't been posted, and the person who turned me onto it has an inside connection. Pays really well and sounds fairly exciting (actually it sounds really exciting), but not really serving the community, unless by "serving the community" you mean the community of rich local celebrities.
Sounds exciting!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dude, you're so right.

Ha. I associate PA (now that I've moved to LA) with being overworked and underrespected and doing all sorts of things that the Geneva Convention would look poorly upon for one cranky egomaniac.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

What's the standard denial protocol?

Flouncing and crying about how mean everyone is is the traditional opening salvo to the masterwork Goodbye, Cruel Internets.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

It does sound exciting, but also like the kind of thing that could give me burnout really fast. It also sounds like the kind of job I would throw at Allyson if she lived here. She would be perfect for it.

Will no one make me get dressed?

Get dressed, Heather, and congratulations on the choice of jobs. Which one do you want? I mean, really want to go to every day?

WOOT Good mail day.

Netflix and info about grad school orientation and a nice letter from my new principal. I need to swing by school and get my planner and a book.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ita, make Heather get dressed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Someone pay Heather to get dressed.
