minimal fees! guaranteed results!

I read that as 'minimal feels' and appreciated that your book-groping would be within the bounds of polite society.

well that too

Finally a place to dump those excess Bibles. YES!!!

Found out today that my bonus and contractual pay rise are going to be late by yet another month. They have been dicking around pushing my review back from before I went to norway. I was kind of banking on that money allowing me to quit in november and giving me time to pack up my life and move to america. I need to spend this evening picking over my contract and seeing if there is anything to stop them from paying me if I resign after the bonus is awarded but before I get paid.

Boo!

I just passed my opera star crush in the hall! Sooo cuet!

is she as fat as i'm picturing?

Was it a shirtless baritone? lol

It would be so much easier on everyone if you would just go ahead and post a photo.

PS Dan, just saw your LBJ joke; thanks for that lol.

Sara: ^_^

I have resigned myself to the fact that I will have to seriously hit the gym if I want an entertainment career. Ugh.

Dan, you look fine. That being said, if you want to become a fanatical exerciser like myself, you have to find a routine that you can live with. (I have yet to find one that will erase the fact that I had two children, but otherwise, treadmill + movies + weight lifting works well for me because I can stay in my own house...)

baritone otm! I saw a more famous tenor, but who cares about them ;)

N4th4n Gunn joeks are easy but still funny

Lol RONG

He's the template, though! Isn't there some Italian dude who's entire career is basically "I am doing what Gunn did in less clothing"?

Which, considering what costumers do to Gunn... LOLOLOLOL

maybe some day, when you're old enough.

Can I make a mini-rant for a moment?

I opened my gmail to find yet another right wing email from my Dad about how the economy was JUST FINE until the evil Democrats took over in 2006. For one thing, apparently we no longer have a President according to this logic, or checks and balances, but the overall thing that makes me crazy is that CORRELATION DOES NOT EQUAL CAUSATION FFS.

I'm not saying that I think the Dems have done a bang-up job, but FOR GOD'S SAKE. It is just frustrating to know that my parents are so in the tank that Bush can do no wrong no matter what. Also that they don't think any deeper than this.

It's the same shit that makes people go "oh, vaccines cause autism" and then never look any deeper to see if that is really the problem. The consequence is that you never find out what the actual problem is. AAAAARGH.

Seriously, how am I related to people who don't get this?

Okay, sorry if I got carried away there.

You can't choose your family.

My mom's totally loving Sarah Palin. It could be so much worse, Sara.

I think I found the thing to make your parents fall right out of love with the Reps this time. They're Catholic, right?

how is it only wednesday!?!?!?

^^^ SRSLY TZA ^^^

Advice. Googling people I came up with a childhood crush. We had mutual affection for each other through jr. high and then diminishing contact in HS. All around he was a neat guy. We were in gifted & talented and yearbook together.

I e-mailed him and he wrote right back. He's married and living in Colorado now. He and his wife will incidently be leaving for a wedding in Austin tomorrow. He says he'd love to have dinner with us on Saturday.

Hmm, on one hand I'm glad to make contact with him but on the other hand sitting down for dinner after one day of e-mail contact with someone you haven't spoken to in about 15 years seems a little uncomfortable for me. I think it might be more uncomfortable for G. as he is extremely anti-social.

I don't know, should I get over it and take the rare chance to meet face-to-face with a long ago friend or say "we'll be out of town, sorry"?

well if it's weird you can make up a reason to leave early ("gotta get to work by 6am tomorrow omg!") and you never HAVE to see him again - not like he's down the street!

No, you should be OK: everybody's married and dinner will be fun if it's someplace casual. One of my HS friends just moved to London and we are having a blast.

Yeah, basically keep it cordial and everything should be awesome.

otherwise, if all else fails, there's always mace

haha, maybe just some Mos Def.

I don't know, I'm not really feeling it. Although it does seem a bit providential that I decide to seek him out the day before he will be visiting my city.

I think you should do it. The worst thing that can happen is that you realize that you actually hate this guy now, and then you have go borrow John's mace.

suzy, thanks for the link but it's probably hopeless and I don't even know why I care at this point. I guess I just want to be related to rational people.

Gah so do I. Linkee makes great fearporn, eh?

That's just terrifically creepy stuff, suzy. (I'm loving the word "fearporn," though!)

wondering how many people will get my new username

other than dan

Well, I'm at a loss, but of course that will surprise no one and John least of all.

hahahaha

I gets it too, I does.

I officially hate you all now!

Okay, not really.
