Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

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

Man, testing is going hilariously. Nothing inspires confidence like the vendor's developer making changes in prod while he's on the phone with you. Or even just revealing he's forgotten to make changes in prod.

I'm going home.

One of my co-workers just tried to get sassy. Heteronormatively sassy. Apparently women should be reborn as men so they get to know what being married to a woman is like.

Yeah, he probably thinks I'm gay now.

Local SF con Arisia is this weekend. I'd be there, but between gusting, window-rattling winds and penetrating cold, I'm not up for travelling in and out tonight. Tomorrow I'll make a long day of it.

Burrell, my tree is still up. And it's on the kitchen counter!

Flea, watch for old school Oprah at the center! (OMG, my autocorrect knows Oprah.)

Hi ya.

Breaking in, does anyone have a link to a British dictionary? I'm hip to most UK spellings, but I need to make sure on some.

Better yet, if someone has a link to British dictionary germane to 1752.

Or naval terms on British ships circa 1750s.

Any? All three?

I still feel like shit, but I have to get this copy edit done tonight. Bleargh. Head not happy, stomach not happy, want to lay down and sleep.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Skippy skimmed.

I am a proud Hardy-sexual.

Erin, are you fb friends with Susan W? I bet she'd know (can't remember if that was her board name or no).

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Well, I'm beat. Even though it was my day off.

The dogs have a new thing: they like to dictate my schedule. At 10 PM the St. Bernard decides it's time to go to bed. But he doesn't want to go alone; so if I don't escort him into the bedroom and then get in bed, he cries. He comes back out into the family room and lies down, whining piteously.

And at 6AM, the puppy starts barking. She has a particularly shrill, high-pitched bark. And at 6:30AM the St. Bernard starts whining, too.

I really should have taken a nap today.

Instead I went into the city, hung out at a coffee shop and cranked through most of my book-club book (Christopher Isherwood's Berlin Stories), went to lunch with an old friend, and then did some shopping downtown. I should not be so tired.

I am going to have to explain to my sister why I felt the need to break into her Glenlivet.

Grrrr. Just got a letter from my new pharmacy benefits management (CVS Caremark) informing me that FOR MY OWN GOOD (BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT) they are implementing the following things: (1) I need prior authorization for certain classes of drugs. Now, that's not "we have to approve expensive med over cheap one", that's "if you want ACNE MEDICATION, we have to approve it first". (2) Quantity controls "to make sure you're treating yourself with the appropriate levels of medication" for things including migraine drugs. FUCK YOU CVS. FUCK YOU WITH A RUSTY CHAINSAW. WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO TELL ME HOW MANY MIGRAINES I GET A MONTH?!!

Etc. etc. I am so pissed.
