Steampunk is like cyberpunk, but usually set in the Victorian or Edwardian era, and with lots of clockwork and steam-powered machinery.
Ah. I get it.
Not that I actually understand what cyberpunk really is, despite people trying to explain it to me many times. I can't get past the "cyber" part of it, and so my brain catches on the idea that it has to involve computers.
But Hec tells me that the 9/11 terrorists' method of hijacking the planes with something as low-tech as box cutters is actually a very cyberpunk concept.
Which, I confess, I still don't understand. If it's low-tech, how is it cyberpunk?
But anyway.

I need to get you cash tomorrow, then, if you're going to be hitting the Lush.

Do you want me to call you when I get home from work tomorrow?

Sure. You may want to try the cell (or Paul's cell) in the event that we're erranding.

Nice phrase. Reminds me of The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson.
Hey! I got into Boston College for grad school!
Special thanks for Ginger and Deena for helping to make it happen!
Yay Nora! Go you! And your support team.
That's wonderful, Nora! It's been hard, typing with my fingers crossed.
Yay Nora!!! Go team Deena and Ginger, too!
Teppy asks what I want to know about cyberpunk.
I've been in a relationship with my PARTNER for 3 years, and I can't remember *his* birthday.
Wow, and it has lasted three years. He's a good man.
So...while there are times I don't listen to Jilli because she's asking for an arc welder again (a thousand times NO!),
Oh, see, I was going to ask why Jilli couldn't remind you of your partner's birthday, but if you're going to be stingy, it serves you right. I suppose you don't let her play with the clicky fire stick, either.
