Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Congratulations, Megan!

But you know, anyone who says that a woman who has an incredible performance record can't be promoted because she is "outspoken" deserves what they get.

I am so glad you are leaving.

So after he was chased by Elliot the cat who was totally thinking, "DIBS! DIBS! I CALL DIBS!"

Bwah!

The most unlikely heartthrob I'm noticing amongst the teen girls these days is Mark Gatiss. I mean, lord knows, I get the appeal on an intellectual level, but I'd never expect to see hordes of women in their late teens and early 20s swooning over a gay, 40-something, balding ginger fellow from the League.

To be fair, I *like* Gatiss and the man wears some weird socks which I dig. Totally.

But my mwrow is mostly reserved for his Mycroft. Super spicy, not right in the brain who toys with power like it's a game. Fictional power wielded on personal whims is interesting to me.

But Gatiss is still totally nifty.

Oh, my, yes. His initial confrontation with John in the first ep is just wonderful. "You're not haunted by the war, Dr. Watson. You miss it."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

WOO HOO, megan!!

I'm going to say, I don't think John Cusak is good-looking, but Llloyd Dobler is explicitly designed to make the heart (of the teenage girl) throb. I mean, seriously.

Thanks everyone! I look forward to not spending all my free time job searching and actually interacting with the other non-interviewing humans.

Just talked to ex-boss (actual boss, who has never talked to me about now being my boss, is out today) and she seemed sincerely happy for me, which was nice considering that the brunt of my work will fall on her. She was a really bad manager, but she did really fight for me over the last 10 months or so and basically told the Powers-That-Be that this would happen sooner or later.

Now, off to Pasadena to celebrate with Pix and ND!

ION, I had a really successful trip to the $100 store (aka Target) this afternoon. Got everything on my list, and hardly anything else! And I did spend $100, but I got a shirt, two bags, a camp chair, and a bunch of drugstore stuff.

Megan, congrats! so happy for you!

Holli, I posted in flickr about which dresses I'd love to know more about it.

It's 100 degrees of misery here. The kids (yes both of them!) were in the yard playing in the sprinklers (and with hula hoops). Who knew that a girl with a trache would use her swimsuit so much?

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

That's AWESOME, Kat.

Yay megan! Congratulations!

I am hating the heat only because we've been running errand midtown, but for this visual? It's all worth it. So cute! I want pics.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

This could be bad. My neighbor is in Spain for three weeks with her boyfriend. She hired a catsitter for the first couple weeks, but asked me to look after her cats for the last week, beginning today. I went over there last week to check on them, because I hadn't heard anyone going in, and they were fine; when I went back the next day, the key was not where it was supposed to be. No worries, I figured the catsitter took it with her. Today, though, there's still no key in the hidey place, or anywhere else I can see. I don't have Neighbor's email. She hasn't answered the message I left on her voicemail. (Granted, she's n vacation and it's only just been today.) I left a note on her door asking the catsitter to come see me, just in case she's still coming around. I saw one of the cats through the patio door and she seemed quite fine, so there's that, but fuck, what do I do? The cats need to be fed and I can't get into the house. Panic.
