Fuck. I don't know how many times I've tried to write this over the years. I've tried, and it's been often, and every single time I think I glanced off against the side of the point, but never hit the mark. Not even once. Then there are things that happen, things that just go entirely wrong on you in ways that you just can't begin to comprehend, ( Read more... )

There's finally that time you just fall apart, I guess.
I wish we could schedule these things -- just pencil them in on the calendar at a convenient time, when it won't disrupt a schedule or break a deadline or inconvenience anyone else in the process.
Sunday, April 3, notes: crumble to bits and reassemble the pieces, due to be complete by close of ( Read more... )

And, a quote:

"Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday." -- Mary Schmich, Wear SunscreenThat was ( Read more... )

Go watch it. You are all, the lot of you, creative. It doesn't matter if times are dark or light, there is something there for everyone; it's worth the time. You will be glad you did.

So.

It's really not a fun day to be someone who makes digital content for a living.

Is this because badly written legislation didn't pass? No. Badly written legislation shouldn't pass -- let's just get that out there from square one. This legislation? No. But something needs to happen, because DMCA simply does not work. File 1 comes down, and within ( Read more... )

Seems like five years is my maximum life expectancy for any job.

Usually I'm smart enough to line up the next one first, or it just happens organically...

I am really just at a loss for words.

Things are really hard right now with work. Harder than usual. So many things are changing. I was going to write a post about that but there is so much actual work that I haven't even had time to finish writing it. I'm barely even sleeping. Before the convention, which was my first "day off" in over a year and a ( Read more... )

I have managed to catch Brian's plague.

Can anyone tell me what mastermind decided that 'orange juice and toothpaste' was the best flavor choice for DayQuil? Because I would like to kick them in the shins right about now.

...ok, maybe right after this nap.

So, I am absolutely going to get yelled at. Probably a lot.

I try not to spend on the plastic, but I sorta had to. And by "had to" I don't actually mean that there was a gun to my head, but the long and short of it is, I ordered the most fabulous coat in the history of ever.

I haven't actually had a fall/winter coat for the past ( Read more... )
