Work was evil today. I told my boss I refuse to work afternoons anymore. I have never had a good afternoon in that place. My boss told me that I don't get to make the schedules, and I told him that I'm sick of living by someone else's schedule and that if he didn't let me work only mornings I'd quit. So he fired me. But then his boss found out ( Read more... )

Sasha and I took the kittens, Casey, and Ingress shopping for new toys today. It was a lot of fun. I'm not sure who's happiest with their new things, but I think it's the sort of debate that doesn't require a clear winner ( Read more... )

I had an interesting meeting this morning with one of the young playwrights I'm thinking of sponsoring. He seems to think there will be requirements beyond the production of plays. He looked positively hurt when I declined his favors. I'm glad he didn't make (much of) a scene though, we were at one of my favorite diners and I'd have hated to ( Read more... )

I think Aya's nearly as excited about Alured as I am. She's so cute. I don't think she's going to let me out of having a baby shower though.

I met a very nice young man who discovered the mincas are good in chocolate milkshakes.

Just to make sure no one's forgotten: Greed's club, The Best Deadly Sin, opens tonight.

I'm wearing this.

( And now, quizzes. )

Dumi and I made two Schwartzvaelder Kirschtorte (Black Forest cakes) and, having run out of cake pans, very yummy things that are a fusion of carrot cake and chocolate chip cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Yummy ( Read more... )

I've been having a grr day.

I really like it when Maxim flirts with me.

I want to bake a cake tomorrow. Mortimer suggested chocolate (which would probably be Black Forest or blackberry jam) or carrot. Thoughts ( Read more... )

I decided to get Alex a new dress. It's white and pink and floral and ruffly. I think she'll like it ( Read more... )
