Yeah, so I'm outta here for the weekend. I'm worn down again and need to go recharge so I'm off to Cleveland to hang with my friends + beverages + cooking + music-making + too hot in the hottub, woo!
Very necessary because I've been laboring too much and need a day. See ya!

I'm totally going to be late for Good Time Island if I don't find this. Won't you please think of the children and search your couch and/or bed for the below item?

sorry mate
When Aussie's get mad:
Unfortunately, they came up short this year again, but worse news for my Storm is LJ having surgery after the Olys and will miss the rest of the season. Dang. I thought this might have been their year again. Oh well. And now gotta wait four more years before the Down Under unitards are worn again.

Next stop: hell
My commute home tonight:
Because really, can you ever get enough of the Metro? I think not. It's like a rollercoaster. Without the fun.

I got your cotton crown
Hello to you too. First, I can't believe it's only Tues. I feel like it's been two weeks crammed into 48 hours. Long long days and the pleasing balm of the Midwest is starting to wear off. Remember when I was all like, "Oh people are ok, the city is liveable I guess, it ain't no big thang" when I got back from my vacation? Yeah, that was nice. Apparently, a dose of the MW only lasts me 31 days. It's kinda like forgetting you're a gal until that fateful day in 7th grade when you are wearing white pants and whoops, your 31 day cycle is up, hello real world - time for the menstrual hut! Which, honestly, does not sound so bad, at least I'd be left alone.
Yeah I went there, but trust me, I have been reduced to being brutally honest and frank. This means that I am going to have to play the bad guy this week and call out someone who's ego is larger than his skillset. There is a 3 year bubble after someone receives a PhD that makes them truly insufferable. The sense of entitlement and know-it-allness without any real experience is irksome. I was that way myself when I was a wee young thing, but now I will not tolerate that kind of bullshit. So yeah, if I question whether you know your shit, it's probably because you haven't shown me anything to prove otherwise and those letters after your name aren't going to make it so. Yeah. You know, I don't have a problem being direct, but man. It just takes energy that I could spend on other things. Like reading a book. Or learning French. Or buying strippers and cocaine.
Don't mind me, I'm about to be reminded that I'm a woman! Goodnight to you!
ps. Vivvy, I say to you: I share your appreciation for the semicolon; however, I am more enamored of the ellipsis...

Through a window pane darkly
Darling, how did our home movies make it on to youtube? I had totally forgotten about how fetching you looked in those pink capris and that green and brown blouse. Remember how we named him Raoul? They eventually turned our screenplay about him into a movie in 1982.
Good times, good times..
Good times, good times..

Like I need some new direction
Quick post, but file this under Oh yeah, I live here now, don't I?:
This morning I had a dream that I was in downtown DC and there was a terrorist attack and bombs all over the city. People were going nuts and running around, chaos, buildings collapsing etc, and I was trying to figure out what to do/where to go. At some point, we heard that NYC was under attack too. Sometime during this, I called my mom and she said "You need to get out of there" and the end of the dream, I was left to figure out if I was going to walk to Virginia and beyond. I was ready to make that walk.
So yeah, a nice anxiety dream to ring in the weekend. After that and a day of potentially dealing with another huge proposal, I shall be going out to drink now. Goodnight!

Cruel Dictator or Sybil? You decide
Yeah, so I was bored tonight and did the face recognition thing with a picture of mine. I am not sure how I feel about this.

MMJ is coming to town Sept 3 and I will be going by myself if necessary. That is all.

answer remains yes
So I got a text from my strai friend A last night at 3am. It said:
We are listening to the indigo girls!
I don't even want to know how hung over she is going to feel this morning. She also sent me a picture mail thing at 4am. I haven't had a chance to go look at it, but I'll post it here later if it is mock-worthy. She really has no one to blame but herself.
ETA: Yeah, she's hating life. I hate to make fun of people who are feeling like shit, we've all been there, but I have to say that she would give me very little sympathy if the situation was reversed. Yeah, we love each other. Here is our text exchange all day today. I'm actually starting to feel bad for her now.
Me @ 853am: I bet you will be hanging when you wake up. Who were you with?
A @ 12:06pm: i sure don't feel good
A @ 12:12: Dang what was i doing texting you so late
Me @ 12:45: are you throwing up?
A @ 12:46: Yes
A @ 1:35: i think i may die
Me @ 1:47: you probably will
A @ 1:48: I know, vomiting sucks
Me @ 1:52: well you'll feel better eventually
A @ 1:53: i doubt it
Me @ 1:57: me too
A @ 1:58: Ha this really isn't fun
A @ 2:01: now i'm throwing up bile. does that make you happy
Me @ 2:02: that really sucks. heh
A @ 2:04: don't i know it
Me @ 2:07: try to hydrate
A @ 2:10: i keep throwing up water and i can't even sleep
Me @ 2:11: you'll just have to ride it out I'm afraid
A @ 2:14: you're right but that doesn't help a lot when i'm on my bathroom floor
Me @ 2:19: true. heh
A @ 3:32: still throwing up
A @ 4:34: still going
Me @ 4:59: maybe you are dying
A @ 5:01: it's a possibility
Me @ 5:39: still alive?
A @ 5:43: barely I'm still throwing up
Me @ 5:44: do you think you have alcohol poisoning? do you need to go to the er?
A @ 5:45: are you serious?
Me @ 5:45 well hello, you've been puking for almost 6 hours
I'll let you know how it turns out...
ETA2: She's fine and is finally able to eat. Here is our last exchange:
A @ 6:16: can't say it's my proudest moment
Me at 6:24: well at least I'm not there to make fun of you in person. so there's that
A @ 6:31: there is that...gotta be glad about something. ha

President of Dumb City
Hey, remember when I went to the White House for bunch and whatnot? Well the pictures finally arrived of me and your favorite cartoon character. Apparently it takes about 2 months of planning for the WH to devise an exit strategy for digital publicity glad-handing photos.
Unfortunately, I had to take a pix of a pix with my blurry blackberry camera b/c I lost the connector to my camera in the Great Cord Loss of 08. Anyway, you get the picture (get it?):
Oh, and here is a picture taken sometime on Saturday of this weekend when I pulled a marathon session at the B.Porter building. It's a blurry view of DC from downstairs right after a pretty awesome thunderstorm had moved through. I only happened to notice that there was actually weather that day because I took a minute to go buy caffeine to get me through something very tedious with someone very annoying.But enough bawlbabying, it ain't no big thang, I'm still slow-walking on the Metro and breathing deep. Yeah, that's how I roll.
