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

Yay, peanut!

Also, huge layoffs at Gawker, including Annalee Newitz, who apparently had another job lined up and quit of her own accord.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There was an article in the Times saying Gawker was transitioning to a politics site.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, it sounds like a clusterfuck over there. Gawker becomes politics, Jezebel becomes celebrities, i09 becomes part of one of the other sites?

Also: Yay Juliana!!

And go, msbelle! I have done some small things and also an expense report for over $800, so that explains some things about my finances!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Yay Juliana!

THe two other places online I frequent are Jezebel groupthink and cuteoverload. Both of which seem to be imploding right now. Although cuteoverload might be back?

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

I am so mad at self about finances. I had a big cushion to do work on house, but never got work scheduled and frittered away most of the cushion. It will now take funds from savings.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I gotta say, I am surprised by the number of people who ask if I got a flu shot and when I say yes ask if they think that is what made me sick. No, I don't think getting a flu shot in September (when we got them here at work, so they generally know the timing) made me sick two months later. Jeesh.

I am afraid to really look at my finances because I know they are in bad shape, but I really need to so I can take steps to fix it. Before January. Blood oath (not that I have gotten to the movies...)

According to my dr. The flu shots here do not contain a live virus so not possible to give anyone the flu. The mists contain a live virus.

Of course just heard coworkers arguing about this today in order to justify them not getting the shot. They do not believe science.
