Sometimes, kids, you just need a living room dance party.
This mashup gets me off my ass and shakin’ it like no one’s watching (and I really hope no one’s watching), so come on in, boogie down, then tell us about your week so far.

It’s the end of the semester, but my advisor/professor is already giving us stuff for next semester and it’s kind of making me freak out a little.
I reeeaaaally need to get out of my own head for a while…
This makes me angry: LUSH UK have take a leaf out of PETA’s book…
The F-word has a blog post on it, which links to the video – I don’t want to link/embed the video as it could be triggering.
ETA: to clarify: triggering for torture, restraint, possible sexual violence.
Well there’s one more thing I wish I’d never seen. God.
I love how the thought process behind it appears to be “MORE torture! Not less! MORE! Torture for everyone!”
Yep, me too. And the response from them reminded me of nothing so much as anti-abortion people who wave pictures of fetuses about .
I am extremely fortunate in that I have never been a victim of violence but the first ten seconds of that video made me want to vomit. It also made me question ever buying their products again which stinks because I love their deodorant.
Fuck. I made it to 13 seconds. I don’t think I would have made it that far but the body-suit/leash alone was enough to make me freeze in shock.
Just. Oh fuck.
Also: EEEEEEEE interview Tuesday morning for the NYC Gig! (Third interview… third time’s a charm, I hope!)
Also also: There is Liver Pate in my fridge right now! I can’t eat it until tonight, but… eeeeee!
Also also also: Tonight is the group birthday party for all of my friends who are Tauruses (seriously, there’s a ton of us)! EEeeeeeee! (It’s what I made the pate for. I made two pounds of chicken livers… that might have been excessive.)
YAY!!!!!!!!! That sounds awesome! I hope your interview goes super well on Tuesday and that you have a kickass birthday party tonight! :D
Thanks! The interview was actually moved to Thursday, but… they moved it from NJ to NYC, so I’m totes okay with that.
Nice! I can’t wait to here all about it next week. :) I will send lots of positive thoughts your way on Thursday.
Met my friend’s new boyfriend last night, and he is lovely. Can I get a fistpump for lovely boyfriends?
Also we were in a bar that offered 4 free cocktails to all women before midnight. Four. I have no idea how they made any money.
Rmmm free cocktails. And nice boyfriends, of course.
Seriously! They weren’t fabulous cocktails but good enough for free. I also bought a €3 plate of chips and someone bought beer but they got nothing out of the rest of us for the night. I’m thinking money-laundering operation.
Laundering with booze. Innovative.
Otherwise I just can’t see what they get out of serving free drinks to most of their clientele for 6 hours or so…
Last night was my first night of “I don’t want to go to sleep early because I have to work tomorrow” after a week of working every day. Hopefully it will pass. And yesterday I got an invite for a job interview. It doesn’t sound very exciting and it pays less than what I’m doing right now but it will enable me to move back to boyfriend freckle again. So I’ll just go and see.
GRRRRR! I have been working like 13 hour days all week and every time I sit down to catch up on Persephone I think, “Well, fuck. I don’t have six hours to read through everything I want to read! FUCKERDAMN!”Â
So here I am popping in to say hey, my freaking kid still won’t stay in his bed, my job pretty much sucks, I have a marvelous crazy-cat-lady-co-worker story that I am DYING to share, I have no idea how any of you are (and I hate that) and I am desperate to catch up on everything that has been going on with you all this week provided I can get 6-8 hours this weekend to myself. Sincerely hope you all are well and can’t wait to time travel this weekend via the Previous Entries button.
13 hour days? That’s not right! Get more time soon!
Oh I love crazy coworker stories; I look forward to it. Â I hope everything slows down for you soon! :)
Naan bread, houmous, strawberry shoelaces, white chocolate buttons, Coke, Cheese savoury bite things, garlic bread, frozen frubes, toasted teacakes, frankfurters, Haagen Dazs, Guild Wars 2 beta.
Guys, this weekend is going to be awesome.
I don’t know what half those things are and I still want to eat them! Â Although, honestly? Â Frubes sounds like pubes. Â I don’t think I could get past that. Â But everything else? Â Sounds like a great weekend to me!
The British version of “Go-gurt”. Immense frozen, like yogurty ice lollies. They’re magnificent.
Yum.  The fact  that you guys call things “lollies” cracks me up too.  Silly British people!  Can’t you speak English?  :)
What is a frube? Can I eat it?
You can, and I daresay you should.
Guys, I have ONE MORE CLASS in law school. Â ONE MORE. Â And then final exams. Â That I don’t really care about because I am in the top 20% of my class, and really can’t drop below the top 1/3 no matter how badly I screw up. Â I’M GONNA BE A LAWYER!!!!! Â :D Â And my boss met the woman who does HER job but in Indiana, and is giving me the hookup. Â Best part? Â This woman used to be a higher up in a firm I’m really interested in. Â AND she used to do labor and employment, which is what I want to do! Â Possible interview connections? Â I hope so!
I tried to summon a witty response to this but all I could think of was;
FUCK YES LAWYER QUALIFICATION
and
AMANDA BE GETTING SHIT DONE
and
WOO.
All three seem appropriate so I list them here for your perusal.
FUCK YES!
YES SHE DO!
HOO!
I find them all suitable for this momentous occasion.
TRIPLE HAPPINESS! WE DON’T NEED ANY OF THAT IMPORTED DOUBLE HAPPINESS FORTUNE COOKIE SHIZZ. WE HAVE TRIPLE HAPPINESS. AND CAPS LOCK.
SHE WHO CONTROLS THE CAPS LOCK CONTROLS THE UNIVERSE.
Congratulations! The world is your something-more-appealing-than-an-oyster!
Why are oysters SO unappealing? Â And why do so many emotions revolve around seafood? Â Happy as a clam. Â Crabby. Â Etc.
Mmmmm, but they are so yummy when charbroiled
Because it’s faster to say than “Happier than a pig in mud” and less disgusting to say than “green as goose shit” maybe?
Whooo hot damn! That’s so awesome, congrats!
Guysssss I am so gassy tonight.
Why does bread have to be so delicious?
I was crazy gassy last week, After a while it just gets comical.
I am feeling your pain. Â I ate of the bread. Â Ever since the rash faded, it’s been the gassiness. Â Suffering in solidarity.
I had an ice cream cone on tuesday, then an obscene amount of tzatziki. I felt your pain.
I drank a cup of hot cocoa made from commercial cocoa mix with milk powder in it (rather than made from almond milk) I would say that the general population is really lucky they don’t live with me right now.
I had cheese and crackers because there was herbs and sundried tomatoes IN THE CHEESE. Worth it at the time, but oh man… I apologized repeatedly to the future mister. Granted I kept laughing really hard about it. It helps to act like you’re still 10 sometimes when you’re lactose intolerant…
My week so far has had some major highs and lows.
I was advised that a new job opportunity with a company I love may be on the horizon (in a very serious way), but I also haven’t had five minutes to myself to go work out or play video games or cook something wonderful, which always leaves me feeling sad and deflated.
I plan on getting a glass of wine for tonight and relaxing in front of the TV at some point, no matter how late it might be when I do so.
Happy Thursday night!
Is it ok if I have dance-free ladies night? Because seriously, fuck dancing. I can’t be the only one who hates dancing?!
I love dancing, but I respect your right to hate it.
I hate dancing too!
Debbie Downers unite!
I loathe dancing, but I might do some sort of formal dancing (like a waltz) if hubs were into it.
I just am not a dancer; I am not graceful, and I feel clunky and awkward.
WHO NEEDS DANCING TO HAVE A GOOD TIME? NOT US.
I will concede that a good time can be had while dancing. Just not vertically. Ahem.
As much as I would love a dance party night.. I have to study for my final exam tomorrow. I’m so close to being done for the  quarter, and I couldn’t be more in need of a trip home. But tomorrow, I will dance with abandon in the weekend open thread. /happy sigh.
Best of luck tomorrow!
Thanks!
Good luck! The end is in sight!
Nothing compares to wrapping up the final test/paper for the quarter and just curling up in bed for a long nap.
Thanks! I think it went pretty well. I’m just happy that I can now be done with a class that covered two years of material. Now on to finishing the rest of the quarter. :)
