legion reading!

There is discussion of going down to the Bay Area at the end of March and collecting people together to do a reading of Legion. That would SO ROCK! Lance has even made noises about the idea of coming out from the East Coast to participate. Image actively wanted to know if he could be part of it. We bet Angie and Christie might want be in it, and Harold, and Starling would make a brilliant Rachel and and and! It’d be COOL! We could probably do the reading at…

cheshire cat

Unsurprisingly, on the Alice in Wonderland test, i’m the Cheshire Cat: You’re the epitome of insane. Either you’re very smart, or you’re too damn stupid. The world is your playground, and everything — and everyone — in it is a toy for you to play with. People should be scared of you, but because you’re so affable, they aren’t. Tough for them. Well.

Emily: And, there’s word that there will be music and dancing and good food. Angie: and i’ve heard something about this strange white-haired boy, though that probably doesn’t mean anything to you.

for pity’s sake

Oh, for pity’s sake, my HR is at it again. Well, okay, it’s payroll, this time. Back around the 7th, I thought I got a Christmas bonus. Well, I didn’t. What I got was 6 or 7 months worth of California state taxes. Except they paid me too much. By like $500. So this paycheck they gave me $500 less. Only they deposited 3.5x that ‘$500 less’ amount into my checking account. And then they sent me an extra $1800 paycheck. And now they want $3100 back. Fortunately, the $1800…
