Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Lyra, we shall must do lunch sometime, when we are in the same general region. Today, however, I had calzone. It wasn't the best ever, but it was more than passable. I also worked crosswords.

Cats. And dogs. Multiples of both, please. Especially big dogs, and especially especially shepherds. I want my children well into school before they're smarter than the dog.

There are several true pizzas, including: Beef, Mushroom, and Green pepper; Pepperoni and pineapple; Chicago-style with pepperoni, sausage, mushroom, peppers, and onions.

I now get to spend the afternoon learning Dreamweaver so that I actually know it, rather than being able to figure things out. Good times.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

JZ, I feel like Daniel Day-Lewis should play him in the movie.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

JZ, they should film that and show it every Christmas.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yes, but not with arm-loppage, please!

anybody else go to a Bladerunner place?

The Voight-Kampff test? Uh-huh.

I can't have a dog. They look at me, and I know damned well I can never measure up to the image they have of me. "Stop looking at me like that! I'm not that good, I swear!"

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

What did you have for lunch, bon bon?

Candy bar & sugar-free yogurt.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Just got back from a King Cake Party. Something my new office does to celebrate Mardi Gras.

Cake was good. Somebody else got the baby.

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

LIAR!

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

JZ, that's ... stupendous.

And pretty cool, in a carnagey sort of way.

Kat -- the cable at my place is kinda frelled. Since the rains, and it's not Adelphia's problem, but the building owner's. Which means *I* need to convince them to spend $20K so I can watch BBC America again. Given the effort involved in getting my garbage disposal fixed, I'm not optimistic. But I want my BBC.

Ann, that's a ferret.

No, somebody else really did get the baby.

Candy bar & sugar-free yogurt.

You KNOW she really had BK. You can tell by that twitch her eye gave when she typed that.
