I need an attitude that isn't bad. Selena's news just kicked my ass.

I have no personal space any more. No place where I am guaranteed my sights, my sounds, my smells. I need a sanctuary.

Drats! I hate being at the top of the page! I feel like I never say anything good enough to be what people have to look at until a new page is started.
I mean, really.
Pigtails on Friday. Lisa dared me. I will do it.
ETA: Now Mr. TGP has added, I feel better. I can breathe again. Breathe again...and I shall never breathe again.
God. Where did Toni Braxton come from? Damn her.
Of course you two know that each one of us can chose, in our profile, how many post is displayed on one page. So for me you are right in the middle.
You knew right ?!

You could come to my house...I bet you could find a sanctuary here.

Actually, I was visualizing Quasimodo, and I promise you, Imp looks nothing like Quasimodo.

Odd Title wins the prize - Did it cheat?
There is a competition each year for the oddest published book title:
Fromage Frais
The 2009-2014 World Outlook for 60-miligram Containers of Fromage Frais, published by Icon Group International, has been crowned the winner of the Diagram Prize for Oddest Book Title of the Year. The Bookseller received just over 5,000 votes on its online poll, with the study into the future of the diary product packaging securing a 32% share of the total vote since the shortlist was announced on 20th February. The winning title was spotted by the Eden Project's publishing manager Mike Petty.
Dorothy L Cheney and Robert M Seyfarth's Baboon Metaphysics (University of Chicago Press) and Brooks D Cash's Curbside Consultation of the Colon (SLACK Incorporated) finished second and third with a 22% and 18% share of the vote respectively. In fourth place was Mark Hordyszynski's Strip and Knit with Style (C&T), followed by Emmanuel Kowalski's The Large Sieve and its Applications (Cambridge University Press) and Lietai Yang's Techniques for Corrosion Monitoring (Woodhead).
Philip Stone, charts editor at The Bookseller, said: "[The book] is a fitting champion given that today's public are more aware of green issues than ever. It highlights an area that, perhaps, we are all guilty of ignoring as we push our trolleys down supermarket aisles".
Horace Bent, The Bookseller's diarist and the custodian of the prize, said: "Given that three times in the 21st century the public have crowned somewhat vulgar titles the winner (High Performance Stiffened Structures, Living with Crazy Buttocks and, most recently, If You Want Closure in Your Relationship, Start with Your Legs), I assumed either Strip and Knit with Style or Curbside Consultation of the Colon would pick up the 2008 award. But I'm thrilled the public steered clear of smut and bestowed the 'odd title' prize on Professor Parker's worthy winner".
The book proved a controversial member of the Diagram Prize shortlist as it is not produced not by a living author, but by Professor Philip M Parker's automated authoring invention.
Og's comment: However this year there are cries of "foul!" among the publishing community. The winner is one of a large number of computer-generated publish-on-demand books by the same publisher. The program trawls the internet for articles on a given subject and produces the result as a "book" for sale at a high price. When is a "book" not a book? Fromage Frais might be one step too far.

Been there.
I went to an interview to object to being overlooked for promotion. The questioner said: "Why do you think you should have been promoted?" and left me to speak for twenty minutes.
He then said "Thank you".
I WAS promoted as a result of that interview.

I have got to learn how to dose myself with caffeine. Right now I feel as if I might be awake until Tuesday and that would not be pretty.

Same here. A double shot of espresso and I'm vibrating up and down the stairs, doing laundry at all hours.
