Will they find out who got hired, if you go with another agency? Because if not, you might just say "Thanks, I'll let you know when I'm interested in opportunities with you, I'd look forward to working with you again"? And maybe by the time you have to talk to them about it again, you'll be in a position to butter them up about whatever it is making you work with them again ("I really appreciate the way you have X set up, and like the way you do Y, but at the time, your Z wasn't as strong. I'm really excited that you've revamped your procedures and Z is really great now" or blah blah)

Tom Hardy says he has bowlegs. I...I have to do research. This is delightful. How could I not have noticed?

I tried to make a funny about how there weren't any pictures of him available for us to check, but I'm too tired.

In other news, Urban Decay has a Friends & Family discount code for 25% off: 1FFNF, plus a samples offer hfs65 for orders over $65. But they're delaying all orders 5 days.

Because of dry indoor air in heated locations in winter, dry mucus membranes in the nose are more vulnerable to viruses. Also, more people are indoors in the same spaces sharing the same air in the winter.

Thanks, flea.

So, I'm trying out my first audio book on my Nano. Wow, am I easily distracted. I know I sometimes space out or start thinking abut something else when I'm reading, but geez, who knew listening was so hard - I could always follow along during story time, back in the day. But, then I wasn't trying to do other things at the same time. Mindless though they seem. I guess it takes getting used to. We'll see. I do enjoy a good podcast, though. Why do they seem easier to follow, I wonder.

Podcasts are way easier for me than audiobooks. I always space out during the latter, which is why I generally only listen to books I've already read.

He's not bowlegged enough. Piker. I'm hardcore, and he doesn't even start to fill my needs.

...I generally only listen to books I've already read

That makes me feel better. It is a new-to-me book. I'll keep that in mind for future.

Hee. The SO just texted me asking for song advice. He's dj'ing the kids' Christmas dance. Except it's a tiny little school and no one is dancing. Hahaha.

Brave Combo album "It's Christmas, Man!" You can't help but dance.

Only time I've done audiobooks has been on long driving trips.

Dear campus security guard:

Even though you are clearly wearing security clothes, approaching women as they go to their cars in a darkish parking garage and standing too close as you ask them if they lost an earring, THEN holding up the earring? Is fucking creepy, Mr. Creepster. I actually was holding my bag and keys ready to throw the former at your head and claw you with the latter, especially after you made a beeline for me after the other woman bolted into the car and locked her doors.

Jesus. I need to call the security office and let them know this is not on.

And while I'm lettering,

Dear Loki-

Really? Shredding a book to cover the uneaten food? And dumping the food all over the carpet? Then knocking shit off the top kitchen shelf while mauling the bisquick box? While my hands are coated in cookie goo? NOT ON, Little Man, NOT ON.
