Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

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

So I didn't doodle. I sat with my hand in my pocket for the whole meeting. The guy next to me doodled. Life isn't fair.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I still have 6 more weeks on my CSA.

We just hit half way on ours. We get veggies from June to December. I have only gotten summer squash so far, but am looking forward to winter squash.

ita - your boss is so wrong. You should be able to doodle, but maybe try not to do portraits? I don't know. Seems very double standard-ish.

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

I don't know how to draw things that aren't people. I mean, if I were to draw boxes, I'd have to think about it, which defeats the point. I can draw people and it helps me focus, because it leaves the rest of my brain free to listen.

What to do when body parts fall off.

Joaquin Phoenix was faking it.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

That NYT article freaked me out because the byline was South Pasadena. For a minute I thought they were personalizing content for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In random work news, I had a conversation today with someone who was AWESOME, and I'm still thinking about it! Too bad what she was telling me wasn't helping me with my work, but it was super interesting.

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?

One class down...5 to go. I really just want to go home and go to sleep now, please.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Vroman's is booked through December, so I need to figure out where to have a book release event. For some reason, I am mentally unable to figure out what to do.

I'm also terrified that even if I do figure out what to do, no one will come.

Remember when I used to be good at this shit? Remember? What happened?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I had a macro-nap. I have to go to work tomorrow, so I hope I start feeling better soon.
