Full of Cheese and Ready for Love

First! Furboajerboa no more! I changed my name. To Larry. Larry AF Venable. Oh yeah, and my journal's name changed to colleenAF. No need to do anything. The magic of science has made it all the same, all my friends, all your links. Science!

Why the change? Mostly it was because I was sick of typing furboajerboa wrong to sign in and felt like being more obvious about being me. The amazing [info:] mister_punchy tells me Alex Trabec is really upset about the change and recently had a $2,000 question of ...

The End* Is Near...

* of my Netflix Queue

Marketing no more! I just got back from my final marketing work trip, a lovely visit with the english teachers of the country in (friggin 40-something-degree what the hell?!) San Antonio and boy are my arms attached to my torso! And my torso attached to my lower half. It's kinda awesome how those things work.

The trip and teachers were amazing as always, but have I mentioned I am the living breathing embodiment of a Garfield cartoon? I have no problem with 6am as long as I kept awake to get ...
