Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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

Mmm. Drinking Ting. Not going to make a habit of it, since it's ridiculously expensive for these wee bottles (in Jamaica they sell it in huge bottles! And they call it a third world country!)

Are my hands ridiculously delicate or do many people have difficulty with those twist off caps that look like beer caps? I can't take them off barehanded. Ouchies. I need thick fabric between me and the cap.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I need thick fabric between me and the cap.

Yeah, I generally use something in between my oh-so delicate hand and a bottle top. Napkin, shirt, something.

DAMN pet food is expensive

Last night, I had to get more cat food, and I decided to get the bigger bag of the expensive stuff for the first time (I've been getting the 5-lb. bags since switching over to this brand just because it's so pricey). Twelve pounds of kibble for $36--ouch!!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Same here.

And, now lunch is over and I have my afternoon stretch to teach. But, 3 more classes and I'm done for the day and it's Friday! Oh hell yeah.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Ok, so Giant Copper Chinese Tank-riding Evil Baby of Death is not blocked from work, however Puppy Bowl lineup is. Okaaaaaay.

Random things

1) I have now tried mochi balls. I am unsure about the texture and consistancy, but I like the flavor and the smell. This has lead to a half eaten one sitting on my desk that I sniff every 10 minutes.

2) Feeling much better today, only now company had layoffs and a mandatory meeting at noon (way to make it really suck company!) Boo.

3) Boss brought in brownies, so there's that.

information libertarian

I got an email from my local PBS station about their counter-Super Bowl broadcasting. Which includes an Audrey Hepburn biopic and some historical 19th century drama that isn't Jane Austen but might as well be. I was amused.

I had to use my jacket to get the Ting open. Sweater wasn't thick enough.

I wonder if casual Friday encompasses cargo pants. It must. There are people wearing t-shirts and running shoes.

Not that I have cargo pants. Or that I even look good in them. But I may have a craving coming on.

I wore the big jeans today. Big jeans are big. ita is adjusting jeans incessantly.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Jeez, I wear cargo pants for my normal business attire. But I work in post-production, where the bar is set VERY low.

Can you wear jeans every day? I'm trying to work out if they're equivalently casual.
