Night of the Living Lateshift

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
05:57 / 11.11.08
Enh. There's no discernible reason for the change in the first place, but I'm being nice and saying that I can work the change, I just need to be told about it beforehand so I can actually reschedule my life to accommodate their inexplicable change. I can actually think of at least two or three ways that the schedule can be shifted to make better use of the budgeted time but of course, that sounds like progress so it will not happen.

Basically, I want to work freelance from home and never deal with people.

I left work this evening and wrote a raging drag queen internal monologue scene that cleansed me a little bit.

Travel, Dec! Wow, that's sounding kind of fun, actually. Readings are good. Is this the reading I have to miss because I'm lame?

(Also, my writing plans for next month will include twenty short-shorts that you might want to look at for FEM).
 
 
This Sunday
06:12 / 11.11.08
The reading's right around the same time, but further upstate.

We will miss you that night.

Anyhow, looking forward to the new work.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
06:23 / 11.11.08
Ooo, Ooo!

My buddy -- as if sensing the toxic levels of rage-a-hol in my system -- brought two Kathy Acker books with him for me tonight, having bought them in Portland a few weeks ago. Yay Feminist Pseudo-Burroughs reworking/cut-up zany fun!
 
 
This Sunday
06:27 / 11.11.08
Nice. Acker's always fun. Which two books?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
23:32 / 11.11.08
My Mother: Demonology, a novel and Literal Madness, which collects a couple of things like Kathy Goes to Haiti.

'm very excited, but I have to finish the latest Sedaris and Murakami's Dance Dance Dance and two volumes of Mister X and OH GOD do I have too much to read. But I kind of like it, drowning in words. As drama goes, it's fairly pleasant and airy.

Failure to write today is stupid. I'm going to turn that around right now.

yeah. stupid is bad, M'kay?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
00:28 / 12.11.08
Kegs!
 
 
Saint Keggers
00:29 / 12.11.08
Papers! (or is it Trees now?)
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
00:33 / 12.11.08
Trees works. Papers works. Pulpy products work. Cellulose.
 
 
Saint Keggers
00:46 / 12.11.08
So really any forrest by-product?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
00:50 / 12.11.08
Yez. Even, like, fungi.
 
 
Saint Keggers
00:54 / 12.11.08
How's things this evening?
 
 
Liger Null
00:48 / 13.11.08
Well, the resume thing's sorted out, I sent it by email, & I just got notification that it was received. I was going to work on some speech homework, but I've got the Bleach Movie and it keeps calling me.

Like dead souls.
 
 
Saint Keggers
01:01 / 13.11.08
and a voice?
that keeps on calling you?
Down the road, that's where you'll always be?
Every stop you make, you make a new friend.
Can't stay for long, just pack your bags and you're gone again...
 
 
Eek! A Freek!
11:40 / 13.11.08
MAYBE TOMORROW I'LL WANT TO SETTLE DOWN,
MAYBE TOMORROW I'LL JUST KEEP MOVING ON.

Stop tugging at the hem of my Canuck nostalgia ,damn you!

(Betcha remember the Forest Rangers)
 
 
Kali, Queen of Kitteh
23:31 / 14.11.08
Waking up the Lateshifters! At least for the next forty or so minutes....
 
 
Liger Null
00:19 / 15.11.08
Hey there, Shifters!
 
 
Papess
00:28 / 15.11.08
Kali, Liger..shifting the night away!

I am watching a Dr.Who and eating wedding soup with my boy.
 
 
Liger Null
00:30 / 15.11.08
Sounds great! Oh wait, that's not the soup with the little sausage balls that look so gross, is it?

And I just realized I can't spell to save my life.
 
 
Papess
00:32 / 15.11.08
Usually it's the little sausage balls, but I make mine with chicken and rapini.
 
 
Liger Null
00:38 / 15.11.08
What's rapini?
 
 
Papess
00:44 / 15.11.08
it's a leafy, mini broccoli.

 
 
Papess
01:00 / 15.11.08
Oh my. That narration was straight out of Desperate Housewives.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
01:05 / 15.11.08
??

Hello, darlings. Drinks, anyone? Cocktails? White wine spritzer?
 
 
Liger Null
01:08 / 15.11.08
Oooohhh, what cute little broccolis! Do you eat the leafy bits too?
 
 
Liger Null
01:11 / 15.11.08
Oh, and hi Papers!
 
 
Papess
01:12 / 15.11.08
Hi Trees. No drinks for me. Thanks for offering though. I am off to dye my son's hair. He wants to go blond.

About the narration: "Some days, some days are for living..." Come now, it sounds just like Mary Alice (Brenda Strong).
 
 
Papess
01:14 / 15.11.08
Leafy green parts are yummy too. Lots of veetamons.
 
 
Liger Null
01:28 / 15.11.08
I'll have to see if I can find rapini around here. I need to eat more healthy vegetables and I'm getting bored with the usual suspects.

Well I've got to try to get some sleep. I'm sure to be in a killing rage at work tomorrow and I don't want it to be exacerbated by sleep deprivation.

Good Night, folks!
 
 
Papess
01:59 / 15.11.08
Good night, Liger. Seems we lost Kali, too.
Trees? You still there?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
02:13 / 15.11.08
I am. At work, blah. I have no cocktails. I have to wait for another hour before I get one.

How was the blondification? I did that for Halloween to be Billy Idol, so I'm still platinum. I couldn't smell anything but chemicals for a day.
 
 
Papess
02:23 / 15.11.08
Hmm, his hair is more of an auburn. It looks lovely with his grey-blue eyes. I think he wants to go lighter though. It may call for professional help.

Billy Idol, eh? I had such a crush on him as a tween.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
02:41 / 15.11.08
Normally I'm auburn, actually. And then I go platinum, which mysteriously lightens my eyebrows like magic.
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:55 / 15.11.08
Hello Everyone!
 
 
Liger Null
23:15 / 18.11.08
Anybody home?

I gave a Power point presentation for speech class today. It was surprisingly easy.
