I don't care! I like the different POV's and ideas.
And I'm tired of my cleaning playlist, and if I sit down to make a new one, no actual cleaning will get done!
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I have a cleaning playlist too! I should use it.

Mine is full of slightly embarrassing ass-shakers like "Smack That!" and Kesha. But "Brass Monkey" is on its third rotation of the day, and I still have dusting and some sweeping to do.
But clean house AND education! Win!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hey, has anyone ever heard of a book called something like "How to say what things look like"? I've tried different combinations of the words on Worldcat and Amazon and Google (which brings up some possibly NSFW things, by the way) but not had any luck, and that's all the attorney can remember.
Also, why doesn't Firefox like the word combinations?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
So I colored my hair this weekend. Nothing fancy, just one of the short-term ones from the drugstore.(Clairol Natural Instincts in Egyptian Plum) So far the only person who has noticed is one of the delivery guys from work. He's been a bit more...friendly than I'm comfortable with(complimenting my outfits/earrings, telling how glad he is to see me, etc.) so I guess him noticing this yesterday is not too surprising.
Then he called my work number this morning to tell me how much he likes my hair. Hopefully my hesitant, non-commital replies clued him in on how creeped out I was.
Ugh.

I hate having an anxious supervisor. Everything is so fraught with drama to him, and he always acts like he's afraid of catastrophe. So I get projects from him, and he's all anxious, and I think it's simple but start wondering if there's some hidden horror going on.
If he has a heart attack before he turns 40, I won't be surprised.
I often get twitted for not seeming concerned enough about my work, but my customer satisfaction scores, from the customers themselves, are always very high. Supervisors don't appreciate hearing that, though.

not your mom's socks.
Jesse, I put some serious thought to writing, for myself, "Go the f*ck to work". Of course, I wasn't working when I was thinking about that.

Oooh, I just asked Anxious Man why we were giving a customer the special privilege of me waiting while a 745 mb file takes another 23 minutes to download, and he got a very pissy look on his face and said, "Because I decided to." I'm so sorry, sir, I will blithely ignore a major exception to our standard practices in the future if you tell me to do so.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Erin, I would also recommend Through the Gates of Splendor and especially Beyond the Gates of Splendor (see both). It's more about a mission to a largely uncontacted tribe in Ecuador, and it is from the POV of the missionaries...I'm not entirely sure how neutral it is toward westernizing tribal peoples (and I'm leaving out some crucial plot details to avoid spoiling). But there is a fantastic sequence where one of the tribesmen visits the US.

Jilli, is Clovis franchising? I ask because I saw a flier on a utility box for the Mysterious Rabbit Puppet Army. The rabbit looked more piratical than vampiric.
Of course, I immediately thought of you.
