Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Isn't not that charming actually superficially charming?

By "charming" I refer to the amount of charming required to satisfy the definition above. So she's "not that charming" -- not charming enough to be evil.

I'll turn my emotional vacuity on you.

That, however, is prodigious, so I am afeared.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I feel emotionally vacuous right now, just participating in this conversation.

Oh, and to go waaay back:

I'm guessing not much Xhosa representation in bubbly pop, huh?
Clearly you did not read the book! Bushmen !Click!Pop Is Go!

You've forgotten Johnny Clegg and Savuka! Complete 1980s pop, with Zulu words and lots of !Click!, combined with synth drum kits. Loads of fun.

Quesadillas.

I think I'll be having cereal for dinner tonight. But at least I get leftover shrimp curry for lunch now.

Quesadillas cause everything is better with cheese.

ita, have you solved your bench-for-dining-table dilemma?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Nevertheless, my answer was going to be, "I think this means I need to buy beer on the way home and make sure to watch House," which isn't all that interesting.

Sure it is. I still haven't seen last week's House, and I'm getting increasingly grumpy about it.

In fact, I was standing in front of a pillar looking harried when they took the picture, so now I have a godawful security badge picture for the next year.

Isn't that inevitable? Last time I took a picture for this place, when they still allowed me to have a building card, it was right in the middle of a deadline. I looked frazzled and displeased.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Speaking of me and all the things that have to do with mepathological lying, today I saw a blurb about someone who always lied about what they had for lunch. For some reason that seems like a fun thing to do AND it will train you to lie better. Does that make me a bad person?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

For some reason that seems like a fun thing to do AND it will train you to lie better. Does that make me a bad person?

Do you want the truth?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What did you have for lunch, bon bon?
