Awake, wet and naked--isn't that like a UPS guy's DREAM?
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Phone meeting was a conference call, and long-distance. I don't do either of those things on my home phone bill (and anyway, don't think I can do the conference thingie).
What I completely don't get is the lummox thing. It's a perfectly well-spoken interview.
Sometimes it takes in-depth conversation to suss out a true level of speaking ability. I can name you a couple of local celebrities who talk all the time, and are quite quotable, and whom most people would call articulate; but in in-depth interview they may repeat phrases and fumble with sentence-fragments, clearly intent on transmitting an idea, but unable to communicate except in sound-bite. I'm sure the opposite is true as well.

Ah, a little more ad-hoc than I was thinking -- not the kind of conference call where everyone gets an 800 number to call in on.

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

I guess, if you're going to go ahead and assume someone's an idiot you may need more effort to shake that perception.
But I've never heard him give a lummoxy interview. I keep thinking the next one might be the one where he lives down to that facet of public perception.
It disappoints me that I am provided the incentive to bother.
I feel like hell. I barely slept and just feel generally wrecked.

Clearly, you should not be aggravating yourself by trying to understand the Public. Honestly, with Vin I think it's about how he looks and sounds, not about what he says. He doesn't talk fast, he's got that voice, etc. The Rock (for example) just has a way about him that indicates "clever," regardless of what he's actually saying.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
ita, can you stay home today, by any chance?

I swear, half of what I'm trying to get at is about the shape of his jaw.

The Public sucks. Especially since I've engaged with more than one of their number that should Know Better.
I wish there were some simple test I could take for a sick day. If nothing hurts but I really feel like crap ... is it worth a sick day?
Oh. Right.
Pre-migraine. Why does it always take me so long to recognise the feeling?

Ugh, ita. Imitrex yourself, now.
