After 6 years at that place I couldn't very well throw all my notebooks out, right? Observations and sketches from the many boring meetings I had to attend. :P
Snarky Meeting Notes

sleepyhollowjacks asks: I was reading your chain of tweets about Paxil and had a question. One of the conditions that medicine is reported to treat is OCD (I have that). But isn’t OCD a productive tool for the highly creative types? Weren’t you afraid it might hinder your…
I cannot stress this enough times to enough people: TREATING YOUR MENTAL DISORDERS WILL NOT RUIN YOUR CREATIVE ENDEAVORS! In fact, when you’re back on an even keel, things often get BETTER.
1. You are letting people tell you that you should be doing other things with your time.
2. You can’t live with the level of clean that your family accepts as normal.
3. You haven’t decided to treat your writing seriously and so no one around you treats it seriously,…
TUMBLR AND IT’S FUTURE IS AT STAKE HERE
SIGN AND REBLOG IF YOU WANT TO SAVE TUMBLR FROM YAHOO

I think maybe we’re overreacting a bit here. Yahoo wants to buy Tumblr because it wants to connect with a younger audience (and this is the social network within their price range), not because they want to overhaul the whole thing.
Hell, with Yahoo’s help we may be able to finally get some of the functionality we’ve been clamoring for for ages now.

“A vocal minority was offended by this mural and the city caved. Hope they like the results.”
I will always prefer an art-covered wall to a blank one.

In the past two weeks the girl has managed to get below 20 points on a test (yes, out of 100) and forget entirely about a quiz the professor kept reminding us to take online.
She’s been to a couple different colleges and at least one trade school, all for different things, none of which she’s finished. She strikes me as one of those people who tries something, wiffs it completely, and instead of buckling down and trying again, bounces to the next thing. It’ll be interesting to see if she finishes this degree or not.
