- 08:12 Ah, depression. More responsible to tell 6-year-old the cape can make them fly than to advise a depressive to off themselves. #

- 19:31 So Cox shuffled off the pivot phones to Sprint again. Yay tech support hell to get ... oh, and I can't get the fucking number blocked. FUCK. #
- 19:47 Dear Congressman Shadegg, your town hall is spamming my cellphone. Already sent email. This time called office with my number to remove. Grr #

- 02:09 Somehow, Julia Ecklar's "Legends" wound up on Fruitz this round. Which means will saves at work. Some have failed. #

- 02:30 @semanticist Maybe I am not a good example, but I am a dedicated hobbyist writer and have *heard* of TeX but never used any, ever. #
- 02:37 Hooray for eyedrops. I am now not dying of too-dry eyes while having gunk in them also. This is only a bonus. Will repeat at work. #
- 08:06 OK I did not need to dream about getting pinned with laser sights. (Sharing hotel room with Az, JD, & ??; problems broke out, then laser.) #
- 08:56 @coffeechica Your car is safer than my dreams. #
- 09:07 I think I safely hid the pineapple from hColleen. I had a craving for it last night, and since I am not allergic I get to have it. (Poor H.) #
- 10:28 @asciident It was one of those little plastic boxes of pre-cut sweet pineapple, in the fridge. All gone now! #
- 16:10 @ataniell93 It was you - there was disagreement about shared hotel bathroom at con & toiletries, we were having intense talk, then LASERS. #
- 18:47 I fail at timely departure. But! I am moving in the general direction of out the door! I think. #
- 18:48 Darkside-in-my-head is a very sane and wise man, and usually agrees with Darkside-not-in-my-head. I have a game to attend. #

trollprincess, apropos of the recent round of Fandom Upset over the language of the Winchester brothers and the misogynistic tone to it that some people have noticed, has embarked upon a project, to count the physical number of uses of the word "Bitch", and similar words, in the series, by season, with some footnotes. Season 1
Season 2
Season 3, and conclusion.
At the temple of Falis in Valis,
Some bad guys broke in with a malice
Our heroes were great
but they came too late
So they high-tailed it back to the palace.

ursulav's comments: http://www.sff.net/people/Corgi/tubes.hToday I had to let go and let go and let go and let go. Desire leads to grief. I can want without desiring if I let go in the right way. Desire is magnetized, and wants back. Wanting just wants, and in this case does not mourn the lack. I have what I have, and while that's not everything, it's something.

- 12:58 u-pack.com uses "log on" reasonably accurately in their commercial, as you are asked for identifiable information that may create account. #

I love the people who make mad, mad, mad things happen ... and the people who are so used to them happening that they don't really inquire too closely, but still manage to inquire. For example: "What's that in the shower?" "Squid." "What's it doing there?" "Thawing." "OK!"
Ahaha:

- 17:44 zomg my room is a mess. :( #
- 17:53 Dear Applebee's, the character '/' is not a BACKSLASH. It is a slash, or even a FORWARD slash. (Have sent feedback re: wrong commercial.) #
- 18:14 @lady_angelina The worst part is, it's about a half-hour pickup that should have been done in 5-minute segments over the past 6 days. #
- 18:24 @asciident I propose the Geeks Call Companies On Technical Inaccuracies In Public Promotional Materials Project. #
- 18:44 In support of the project, I've sent an email to the radio station that says "Log On, and hear us!" meaning visit the website anonymously. #
- 20:22 Fortune: "An interesting medical opportunity is in your new future." ...lolwhat? #
- 21:37 @tangowildheart hooray! #
Because I am at times a disagreeable wench, and an easily-irritated one on some fronts, I decided to make a minor nuisance of myself to Applebee's. See,
hcolleen watches HGTV, and when she is watching it, I will sometimes sit down and join her. Strangely enough, since I'm almost the target demographic for the commercials on that channel, many of them don't offend me or insult my intelligence! And then Applebee's had a commercial on. It was a decent commercial! It showed videos of people having fun there! Then it exhorted people to come to their website (I do believe that it avoided the odious 'Log On') ... to the page they set up. The screen showed a perfectly inoffensive link. The voice-over included the dread word "backslash". Unless you've never been taught the difference, or you are under the age of ten, or you are dyslexic, there is no excuse for getting this wrong, and someone should have caught it before it was put on TV. I sent in a cranky message. Technical ignorance doesn't need to be spread. Really. So I'm encouraging other people who see technical inaccuracy and are annoyed by it to take five minutes and point it out to someone who's more likely to be able to do something about it. Yes, it's work that you shouldn't have to do, and sometimes it will accomplish exactly nothing. But it might help make the world a little less annoying if it catches on.
I also emailed the local radio station that has that stupid "Log on! And hear us!" thing, where they mean "Visit our website, you don't need to sign up or anything."
Pants!
I got bit in the car on the way to work by a title bunny. At work, the rest started coming to me. For those who recall Home Movies from the Cutting-Room Floor, this is about Harry and Harry's old friends, when Sally is away, and all the woe that becomes of it.
For those who don't recall that book, that book is the tale of what happens when a girl with a really embarrassing family crosses paths with the guy who is a bad-luck curse to all of his friends. Our protagonist there has a little sister, Sally (short for Alsatia, who is geographically named for a location in her parents' second honeymoon approximately 9 months before her advent) and Sally acquires a
At any rate. Harriet is an unlikely mentor for a group of assortedly antisocial and surly geekboys. Her girlfriend (and sense of perspective and rationality on certain topics) is out of town. Prom is coming up. OH GOOD FUCK NO.
There was team breakfast today. Winz!
