Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

No change in the couch cushions, Hil?

Swouncing

Yup. That's the plan.

Excellent. Thanks!

And now I need to go finish the lesson for today. Please ignore me harshly if I'm here again in the next hour.

Nilly, we could never ignore you. Sorry.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I went to the ATM, where I found out that I actually had about $200 more in my account than I'd thought. So that was nice. I'd thought I had only about $30 until I got paid. So I now have coffee, and enough cash to buy lunch if I don't feel like going home in the middle of the day to eat.

vw, I definitely want to read that paper once you've got it online. It sounds really interesting.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

P.S. VW, I am in on that thing on Sunday. Despite my not replying to emails. I am bad at that, as Somervillains have cause to know.

I got Dunkies coffee this morning (8am meeting, and also I have no cream in my house), and it is acrid and icky. I don't know if it is just me, or the fact I asked for milk instead of cream, or if the coffee batch was bad, but it is not the Dunkies goodness I was craving.

8am meeting! Bleah. And it was over in 15 minutes, too, but 8am was the only time my co-meeters could meet (over the phone).

I half suspected that you might be able to make it. I haven't heard from Theo either. Theo, you gonna be able to make it?

It's gonna be a good group. I'm REALLY excited. I may even invite my friend J. I think she might enjoy it.

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

I'm watching Vin Diesel on Leno right now.

What I completely don't get is the lummox thing. It's a perfectly well-spoken interview. People are weird.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ack, Laura, what a situation. Poor son!

Um, Nutty, a phone meeting? You couldn't have done it from home? Just a thought....

I feel very fancy that I keep getting overnight packages for work. I'm also glad I woke up early, so I was awake, if wet and naked, when the UPS guy came.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Awake, wet and naked--isn't that like a UPS guy's DREAM?

Yeah, I don't know why he didn't come in. Possibly the terrycloth robe/towel on head look was not quite as alluring as one might have hoped.
