don´t worry, you´re not alone.

The ambush will come in any minute now....

yay! I love hambush!

Did I miss the ambush?

Papess

07:38 / 03.11.07

Apparently I missed it, or I ambushed myself. Who changed my name dammit!? Oh right...

Anyway, it is 4:36am and I just needed a drink of water, as one might imagine. I will return to my bed. I am bushed.

imaginary mice

01:02 / 04.11.07

'Evening, lateshift.

Am I too early?

This Sunday

01:21 / 04.11.07

Hello, Lateshift! Lateshift, can you hear me?

Papess

01:05 / 06.11.07

YOU FUCKERZS!

mY goodnees..I have the bad case of the hiccups

Saint Keggers

01:10 / 06.11.07

You rang?

I just had to explain to someone that the word they were looking for was paparazzi, not Pavarotti. Nobody was ever chased by Pavarotti.

Papess

01:12 / 06.11.07

BLASTED! Do you have to make me laugh like that?

Saint Keggers

01:13 / 06.11.07

Yes. sigh. It was in the brochure.

This Sunday

01:32 / 06.11.07

How dare my psychical post-Pavarotti damage be mocked in this thread! Mocked! I was chased down like a rabid slice of pizza and... and... sung at!

Saint Keggers

01:35 / 06.11.07

DN!!
What kind of pizza?

This Sunday

01:44 / 06.11.07

The kind that sobs softly in night, flavored in tenor-based-terror.

I think Pizza Hut has coupons for those, right now.

Saint Keggers

01:47 / 06.11.07

Yes. They do. Its always served cold. and in very single slices.

This Sunday

01:52 / 06.11.07

And there's my pizza out of the oven, with considerably less sobbing and much more ham.

Saint Keggers

01:53 / 06.11.07

Oh, the Denny Krane special

This Sunday

01:58 / 06.11.07

I need to buy a new TV just for that show. Or, buy the season boxsets and remain behind, but with Boston Legal on hand.

Saint Keggers

02:03 / 06.11.07

new tv? What you have to do is buy the boxsets and go over to someone else's place and get them hooked on the show.

This Sunday

02:10 / 06.11.07

This is why I try to always let the lateshifts do my thinking for me. Even when sober.

Saint Keggers

02:12 / 06.11.07

yes. Its the best of plans. Lateshift: the best advice column ever.

This Sunday

02:16 / 06.11.07

Well, remember how, ages ago, you told me to sack my agent?

I did.

And I am doing more of my own stuff, even if it's on owned-by-others properties, without taking a giant pay cut.

Saint Keggers

02:24 / 06.11.07

I dont recall that (sometimes I dont recall what I did 2 days ago) but are you happier?

This Sunday

02:31 / 06.11.07

I am. It hadn't really hit me until I was complaining about my work to someone this morning, and they put things in perspective for me. Double-perspective, since they compared it, not only to my previous gigs, but to their current job, proofing medical journal articles. I may have more work, the pay may not be great, but I get to more or less do what I want in the opening salvos and even if they don't like it, and I have to do something else, I still get paid.

And then I thought of the shift, back in the days o' yore, and, well, I'm pretty sure it was you of the former-MO who told me to get rid of the agent.

Well Im glad then.

Of course, while they were helping me sort my happiness and frustration with a little perspective, I unintentionally stuck my foot in it in other directions. Instead of trying to be encouraging and helpful, I should probably just run with the thing where I tell people 'because I'd screw it up.'

Which, led to her ex-boyfriend, who's decided there isn't any 'ex' in his title, to add to the situation with a phonecall. (Because stalking means love.)

And people wonder why I focus on work.

Saint Keggers

02:49 / 06.11.07

AH good ol' ex-boyfriends. sigh

This Sunday

03:04 / 06.11.07

So how's things in Vengland these days?

Did the Windsor Station thing ever come off?

Saint Keggers

03:09 / 06.11.07

no.. sadly not.

As for the rest of Vengland things have been busy. Im working on a mural which I hate and designing a rocking horse for my friends soon to arrive baby.

This Sunday

03:25 / 06.11.07

Well, the rocking horse thing's gotta be cool.

What's to hate about the mural?

Saint Keggers

03:26 / 06.11.07

Its disney themed. I hates the disney.

This Sunday

03:33 / 06.11.07

Can't fault that (outside of, y'know, any part of Disney directly attributable to Carl Barks). Is it paying well, at least?

Saint Keggers

03:49 / 06.11.07

nope. Nada. Its being painted in said soon-to-be newborn's room.

This Sunday

03:53 / 06.11.07

Well, it's for a baby. That's payment of its own kind.

And if the kid ages into hating it, you can feel vindicated or something.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

03:56 / 06.11.07

Oh god. I have one of those horrible "walking in the cold, condensing skull" headaches and Facestab doesn't seem to be working properly when viewed in Firefox today. I don't know why. My head hurts. UGRH.

On the other hand, I have a bunch of line edits and revisions done on this story so I can start doing up the third draft.

This Sunday

03:56 / 06.11.07

And I'm apparently off to a quick drink.

Night, V.
