We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Attention: Peanut butter toast is the best. Breakfast. Evar.

That is all, thank you.

Our wings are not tired.

That is a wonderful family picture! Sparky's glowing, pass it on

Yum. I like to add a bit of cinnamon sugar or sliced banana sometimes.

Todd, that picture makes my eyes itch!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The pear tree in our front yard looks pretty, though.

Understatement of the year! That's a storybook front yard. And you all look wonderful.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm now on Easter break. (Despite the prominence of American Christianity, it's in Australia that I get a four-day weekend for Easter.) It's been confirmed, they'll be announcing layoffs on Wednesday. They've set up the lay-off room - papered over the windows on an internal office (well away from external windows, I'm assuming that's just a coincidence). The IT guys, as I understand it, are at the ready to shut people out of their computers as their number comes up. (Which I confess I find a little cool, in an A-Team kind of way).

Obviously, I'm curious to know whether I'll be laid off. I won't be surprised if I am - reasons which ultimately all come back to my boss, who's run the section into the ground lo these last three years. He's also the reason why I think I'd prefer the redundancy. (Although there's also the chance that I keep my job and he loses his, so let's not be hasty.)

“Not dead yet!”

I think all the medication working its way out of my system is wreaking havoc with my brain-- or the hormones readjusting or something, because I'm very moody and touchy and liable to burst into tears at the drop of a hat and this has only shown up in the last couple of days since I finished the Lortab.

I'm over it now. It can stop.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

My ex-boss - who is on a contract through the end of April - seems to have been really applying himself to making sure that he'll never get any more contract work out of this association ever again. He's supposed to have been working on getting people to write stories and provide photos for the next couple of issues - when asked what he had, his response (according to our COO, who's theoretically managing him) was "uhhhhh". He's supposed to provide a spreadsheet of information on past authors - result, um, nil. Turned up for a meeting with nothing substantive but his attitude. Bye!
