The Fades has been getting good reviews and buzz.

Still, bleargh. Right now I'm so tremendously glad to be a vegetarian

I'm still wishing I could un-see the inside of your abdomen.

A small pick-me-up for Aims, if she's around

Awwww, cute.

Oh, good, I was hoping you were around to appreciate it.

I put too much salt and olive oil in my dinner, which made it....just about perfect for me, really! And it should mellow out by tomorrow, right?

I always sympathize with the poor clerks under a mandate to chat to the customers, 'cos I've been on the other side of that. When I was working the horrible retail job, corporate had a brilliant customer service idea: print up t-shirts for all the store staff to wear! Bright read, with large white block letters that said "WHERE IS IT? ASK ME AND I'LL SHOW YOU!"

Across the chest.

I was the one who had to explain to our managers why none of the female employees wanted to wear that shirt. Then I gave my shirt to my then-boyfriend, who wore it onstage when his band performed.

ION, I have just found a body modification that makes me think, "Fuck no, that is not okay". Because tattooing your EYEBALLS? As in, the whites of your eyes? No. Just ... no. Trans-dermal implants for horns? Fine. Tongue-splitting? If it makes you happy. TATTOOING YOUR G-DDAMN EYEBALLS? A world of no.

No, no tongue splitting. Please don't do that. Based on my reaction to the last Supernatural episode I just can't handle it. I really need to work on that--so in the meanwhile, if everyone would just stop until I can catch up, that would be great.

I'm looking, almost panicking, for the battery charger for my DSLR. I'm hunting in improbable places now, including through semi formal purses. I found a pile of graduation pictures of one of my cousins, including one with his friend with whom I had an is-this-really-platonic-well-you're-legal-in-Michigan thing going on at the time. I just found out that said friend, being fourteen years older, is now a married house-owning father, and I'm looking at his high school picture and remembering our (platonic!) shenanigans quite fondly.

Those were the days...

No, no tongue splitting

One of the babygothlings I am friends with on tumblr had it done, and he's thrilled about it. It kinda makes me do the head-tilt "Really?" thing, but eh, whatever.

I'll stick with tattoos for my body-mods. And not ones on my EYEBALLS, thanks.

I'm helping the dojo kids with their demo for tournament. One of the Senseis just told the group next to me to model their fight after Darth Maul's 2 on 1 fight in Phantom Menace. And the kids got the reference.

I can't see the spoiler font on my phone and I think I'm ok with that?

Jilli,

do you have pictures? I'd like to see this.
