What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Kat, this might belong in the Life Serial thread

There's a Life Serial thread?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Hi all--drive-by post, as we're being charged by the minute here! We're happily in Long Beach, and the reading in Redondo last night was FABULOUS! We're bouncing around a lot, but we'll be reading in Orange tonight, at the Ugly Mug, and other places later in the week. Would love to see some LAistas while we're out here!

Art Crawl!!!

I didn't hear about the train derailment 'til I went to the comic shop at lunch. The comic book guy was watching Day 1 Hour 1 of 24. He said that being shallow hearing about the train derailment made him want to watch 24.

What is even happening?

24 (this season)

sumi, I thought of this season of 24, almost immediately, when I read that story.

God, I just read about the train derailment. That's so awful.

And suddenly I'm thinking of Unbreakable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That train thing makes me incredibly angry.

He hasn't lost a lick of his Boston accent, and I felt weirdly soothed that he was the boss for this reason alone, which is not based in any rational thought.

Honestly, there's a professor at my school who teaches stuff completely outside my areas of interest, but I want to take a class with him for the same reason. Best accent evah!

AND, I was just completely rewarded for ridiculousness. I was semi-berating myself for having lunch in a restaurant, especially considering I haven't gotten a paycheck from my job since December (must check on that), but when I got home, my loan money was in! YAY MONEY!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Do I really need an ipod (or its equivalent)?

ETA: Yay for loan bucks, Jesse!

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

Do I really need an ipod (or its equivalent)?

Yes. It's the only thing that separates us from the animals.

meow. Or snarl or something.

Also, in a note to the universe in general, I cannot make 562 =605. If you want to tell me what the missing 43 are, I can help you. But no amount of "are you sure?" is going to make 562=605.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I have no iPod. Too rich for my blood.
