I got bad news from my agent today. Not break-your-career news or anything, but very disappointing. No such thing as a sure thing in this business.

But lemme tell ya, the cure for disappointment is one part [livejournal.com profile] everyonesakitty and two parts [livejournal.com profile] ccfinlay, all mixed together with a single serving of Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough ice cream. You should try it.

*loffs peeps*
*eats more ice cream*

It sounds like you have some wonderful friends.

::HUGS::

Sorry you got bad news, though.

Ice Cream is great therapy! So are good peeps.

Ice Cream is great therapy!

Yes! And so is shopping. Alas, I have no money, so ice cream it is.

A satisfying solution to be sure. I'd need a couple of cabana boys to even things out, though.

Date: 2006-08-15 07:41 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] raecarson.livejournal.com
Heh. :-)

Fortunately, Charlie is worth at least two cabana boys, so I'm set.

When life gives you lemons, squirt people in the eye. (Well, not everyone.)

You never know, maybe that agent wouldn'tve been right for you.

Rx: If still blue, take an early morning walk while the sun rises. :)

That early morning walk is a good idea. Esp. considering all the icecream I'm eating. *g*

It must have been national Bad Agent News day. You got any of that icecream left? (You can keep all the Charlie Finlay.)

This is the time for one of those rallying, inspirational speeches. Wish I had one.

One battle lost does not mean losing the war. You know that, but I'm saying it anyway.

Onward, Ms. Rae. Here is a tiara for you.

Maybe we should get one for Charlie too...

Is it black widow season?

Ben & Jerry will have a lot to answer for when the sin of gluttony is assessed and torments are parceled out. ;)

But comfort and joy have to count for a lot in the other side of the balance, right?

Well, I'm sorry for the crappy news, but I'm glad you seem to have the disappointment under control (it would be [livejournal.com profile] green_tea_lady, [livejournal.com profile] tiellan and Cherry Garcia in my case, but I must say the formula is a very good one for remedying bad news). *hugs*

Thx, Ri. *hugs* Mmmm...Cherry Garcia. I've seen it in the stores but never tried it. No time like the present, says I!
