Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Good luck! The back of the bag is not that bad, so you should be able to make it less noticeable.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think someone at my uni's employee assistance program reads Hyperbole and and Half. In the newsletter, in an article about budgeting, they write

"Without a budget, you risk spending all the money and not saving enough"

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

I think this is very funny, but has the wrong subject matter.

It would be hysterical to pick a day, everyone pick a topic, watermark the photos appropriately and just go out and hit every Apple store within reach.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I have a friend with a pair of rats named Klaus and Werner.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have an interview tomorrow morning at a staffing firm. WHOOT!

ftr, 2 direct applications today and 5 recruiters responded to with emails and resumes. plus updating and expanding monster and linked-in.

Now I have 2 pages of instructions to go through before this interview. I have to register at their site, send them a more detailed resume (no missing months), take an online skills test in MS Word & Excel, Call 3-4 business references and make sure I have their contact info correct and they are on-board with being listed, and then I need to iron a suit.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

GO msbelle! I hope they are awesome and smart enough to realize that you are too.

Good luck, msbelle!

First time I read that I thought you said '...need an iron suit'. Personally, if you show up to an interview in an iron suit, then you're in.

Whee! msbelle.

I had a to get a filling replaced this afternoon. Right before I had to leave, Oz peed on the floor. Arrgh. To start off, they hadn't given me enough freezing and I could feel it when he started drilling. I think I forgot how to breathe three times. I may have to start taking Valium before any drilling. I came home and had a LARGE cocktail and am now bombed.

Also, syndicated Buffy is on and they've combined both parts of What's My Line into one episode. They've cut most of the job fair bits, but kept the Monkeypants scene, thank god.

Also, Oz, my cat is the least suitable namesake for Oz. He is all insecure machismo and territorial posturing.

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

I may have to start taking Valium before any drilling.

I highly recommend this.
