Well, we’ve conveniently gotten rid of the two books written and recommended by women, and the only book written by anyone non-white. Of course everyone laughs and says that it was just, you know, how it happened. One person says that, well, there are three male judges and maybe books about the girls just don’t […]
I have started watching Damages, which I am now watching addictively. I only have three more episodes. They are starting to tie things together and stopping adding seventy three new plot points every time. So far it’s all hanging together very nicely, especially when I just assume that every single character is a setup — […]
You know, I do not currently have anything going on that could be called a crisis. (I may, in a few days. But right now: no!)
It’s really a rather nice feeling.

California has about the same number of […]
You know those days that start out badly and just keep getting worse? I woke up this morning knowing I shouldn’t get out of bed, and I was right.
Nothing majorly bad happened, just a huge list of fucking irritating shit, including forgetting my bus pass and having to reinstall Office several times and still having […]
This week I had to come up with a set like Silver/Gold/Platinum for three levels of a product, where all the levels had to be good, and the names had to be positive. And entirely culture-neutral, so no place names, no continent names, no Norse gods. This was enjoyable, and I’m pleased with the choices […]
