Knowing him, she's right.
Knowing my co-worker even better now (since he made that remark) I was right.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I repeat, SHOOK MY HOUSE.
Weird. Here it's just vaguely rumbly. Which is unusual in itself.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
points, screams, a la Invasion of the Body Snatchers
ChiKat's right here and she's still fine.
Maybe I've just never heard it without the implied superiority tone.
Gotta admit, I don't think I've heard it any other way. But there are surely those out there who have.

The system is coming from the south, so the worst of it hit here before it'll hit you, if it hits you.
I haven't heard a clap that loud in quite some time.

Oh wait, I contradict myself. I asked the IT guy whether there was a computer in the building on which I could watch the trailer for Serenity. (Alas, no.) The next week he tells me he saw it at home. He was on the Quicktime site, saw the banner, remembered I mentioned it, so he watched it. He said it looked pretty cool, so I offered him the DVD's if he wanted to see the back-story, and he said no thanks, he doesn't watch much TV.
I think I forgot to get my back up because I was so excited about making a Firefly Convert.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The implied superiority that bugs me is the "Well, I don't obsess over TV like you do." Dude, if you know what the name/slogan of JJ Abram's production company is, and you consider for a second taking David Fury aside to give him pointers for Day 5 of 24 and you're not industry? You've WAY lost the "moral" high ground.
But I've heard people not care for TV in the same way some don't care for sport. It's no big thing.
Now, people with TV and without cable -- that's just weird.

Big ass clap of thunder just shook my house.
The lights keep flickering here at the Evil Empire. The walk to the bus stop is going to be ooky, isn't it?

Might not. The storm has passed now, and the orb is outside, shining.

Sun just came out here. But we're leaving to catch the bus for the ball game in 30-45 minutes.

When one works for an Evil Empire, weather is probably not the first thing that should go through your mind when the lights start getting freaky. The first wave of attack by rebel forces, now . . .
That might just be my Star Wars geekery showing. 6.5 hours to showtime. I've seen every one of them first run on the big screen.
I wonder where my lightsaber is?
