I came face to face with a very big mantis in the grass in Ohio and it was discomfiting. As you note, they look at you. Like you're food.
They are totally the great white sharks of their realm.
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ha, Strega, that Batman story is pretty great.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This morning I was here at 6:55. Sigh.
Oh, god, you have my sympathy. I wish I could linkspam you.
Tommy! Get to work!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Tommy! Get to work!
I am. I'm doing SQL stuff.
unlike some people....

This morning I was here at 6:55.
I do not approve of these shenanigans.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I know. I could hardly believe it as I typed it.

I can't fight that. I'm currently photoshopping web page screenshots instead of editing the HTML to give me what I want. It's so much quicker and less painful. And very far away from the SQL and the SQL conversation I need to have before this afternoon.

Ginger, are you in this thread? I'm going to be in Atlanta on business in mid-January. Maybe we could do dinner.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, the guy doing the Beyonce dance in the snow was a guy! That makes it even better. Excellent.
I was at work at 5am. But then, my commute is down the stairs, and I took a nap at 9am, so... yeah. I feel the lack of sympathy out there. Also, I just ate iced gingerbread cookies from Germany.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I slept past 8 this morning.
