Oh..you heard about did you? Well it was jsut one night. (fortnight,actually) and we were drunk and thinking "as long as were in a morgue..."

Oh, how the baby lateshift has grown! Water it just a little bit and it sprouts.

I have an italics disorder.

I italicize heavily when I'm drunk on wine, as I am, having spent the evening with the Accomplice, watching Hellboy, eating nachos, drinking wine, and playing with a very large cat.

There's fresh Superman out on Wednesday, which makes me happy -- that'll get me through the next week, as I have to dress up as Clark Kent (I've never felt so Jimmy Olsen) and participate in team-building union morale boosting events that I'm helping to develop and coordinate when who knows how people are feeling and whether they won't just hate us, hate us, hate us. Yes: drama.

Though, really, it's a good time to feel Olsen-y. He hasn't been as cool as he is in All-Star since Jack Kirby took a crack at him.

Night, Keggers.

Who's about?

I'm waiting for a bloody news video to load, with coverage of the rallies held at the central branch of the library to advocate for an end to the lock-out. It's taking forever. I've had so many problems with this one little video and it's making my stress level rise...

Hiya!

I'm not sure what I'm about, but here I am regardless!

How's the lock outs and life been treating you?

I'm about. I'm motivating myself. That's probably not appropriate conversation for lateshift. How about ice cream?

Ice cream? I wish I had some. And motivation, maybe.

I just wrote a way-too-long e-mail to someone about how it's just polite - if nothing else - to refer to someone by the pronouns and gender they prefer, and then there was a crash and I realized it was probably better not sent, anyway.

So, instead, I'm eating a Moon Pie and making a fresh pot of coffee.

Hi,
I'm off to bed now.

G'night all.

If it was longer than greeting, one sentence, and closing, it was too long, IMO.

"Dear Ms/Mr/Mx Shithead:

Referring to someone by the gendered pronouns that they prefer is the bare minimum of civility, not a generous favor or great sacrifice of your time.

Sincerely,
Ms/Mr/Mx Person With a Large Stick With Your Gonads on the End"

Ahaha. I kid.

Moon Pies go well with ice cream, I'm told.

There is this ice cream shop near my house. They are THE ice cream shop. I have the remainder of a pint of lemon-anise and cinnamon ice cream in my freezer that is AMAZING.

I will not eat it tonight, but think loving thoughts at it instead.

Lockout's the usual. Apparently there will be mediated bargaining on Friday, but I'm not holding my breath.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
05:01 / 26.03.08
Mmhmmm. I have chocolate in the fridge. THANK THE UNIVERSE!

It's white chocolate, which is dubious, but it has coco flakes in it. Which is less dubious.

Well, they're young and well-meaning, so I was trying to be not cruel about it. But, we learn nothing by flinching, and even less flinching for other people. Or something like that.
 
 
This Sunday
05:02 / 26.03.08
Not a big white chocolate fan?

And shouldn't we have a new thread soon? How long are these supposed to get before they're surrendered for a fresh expanse?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

I can start one, or you can. Nine pages is the evil rule, but we can always spore earlier and open a new bloom somewhere fresh.

Go for it. You have wittier titles than when I do them. Also, mine would probably end up being Hush related, as yes, I'm dipping into the Loeb pool tonight.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
05:19 / 26.03.08
Ewwwww, Loeb.

New shift here.
