I do not see DFW on that itinerary.
My new bosses just complemented my work. And today when something on the computer was not working right, no one blamed me. Sadly that is enough to make me teary.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, YES the Madonna Inn. An improv friend and I stopped there on a road trip down to the southern CA RenFaire (sadly, we didn't stay overnight, just wandered around the lobby and grounds goggling at everything), and it was gloriously insane. Not to be missed, in the most deliciously whackdoodle way.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The Madonna Inn makes the best banana cream pie in the world.

Also, no ATL.

Have a great time in London, shrift! And have a great time in CA, Tom!
I just got off the phone with UPS and the site I ordered clothes from a few weeks ago. Turns out UPS delivered the clothes at 5:30 last Wednesday, said that they buzzed my apartment and got no answer so they decided to leave the package in the hallway in front of my apartment door. I know that I was home at that time, so I say that they didn't do the first thing, and should have known better than to do the second thing--there's a rental office in the building right next to mine that is open until 6:00, and all they have to do is take the package there instead.
So, the package is nowhere to be found, most likely with one of my neighbors who helped themselves to the package, and I am furious with UPS, who had no excuse, just said that since it was "basic delivery," their driver didn't have to take it to the manager's office. Grrr.
The vendor's customer service guy, otoh, was amazingly understanding and sweet, added a secondary option on my standing address line that says "or rental office," reported the package as lost/stolen, and changed the size of my swimsuit to the smaller size I should have ordered instead in the reorder. Hopefully, I'll get my clothes in a few weeks and they will be at the manager's office instead of the hallway this time.

I named my first car Christine, as it was a red car whose radio only played golden oldies and which tried to kill me on more than one occasion.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Abby's more my type
Mine, too.
msbelle, how about I talk about my work ethic, or lack thereof? Done today so far: fed animals (mine and Nora/Tom's), walked Frankie, scooped pans, put away dishes and washed breakfast dishes, put away some clothes, rigged up a way to hang a hand towel in the bathroom. For the rest of the day, the plan is to get my resume down to one page (dammit) and send it out for a carpentry job, and send the longer one out via two friends to an org I'm trying to get in with. I will alternate 15 minute chunks of that with making phone calls and unpacking boxes - now that I have a roommate, unpacking has become much more urgent.
