Timelies!
Yahoo news has a headline that "U.S. retail sales jump 1.4 percent in April." See what happens when I get an Internet connection?
Seriously, my baby purchases alone probably account for that.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Mal to the rescue!
The lone a/c maintenance dude stopped me en route to my car to tell me he hadn't forgotten about me, he's waiting for a motor to arrive. Which is reassuring and I was very nice to him. And funny. I suspect anyone who deals with me in any sort of customer service role thinks I am schizo. Give me bad service (not talking about bad news, just bad customer service) and I become a real hardass, and tell you how to do your job. Start doing it, and I become sweetness and light. And I can do this in the same phone call/interaction.
I think I might be a difficult customer.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh, yeah. Seriously expensive little buggers, aren't they?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Alias:
Someone's been beefing up for the Worst Spy IN THE WORLD competition. First, no one thinks to keep their eyes on the priceless Rambaldi papers during the auction? Second, Vaughn and Dixon blithely sit there while the guy sweetens his coffee with cyanide? Guys, I saw that one coming, and I'm not supposed to be a first-class spy.

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

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I also haven't had problems with my CC feed from TWC.
I am concerned, however, that Jesse's mom is giving her 18 or 19 year old self all this advice about DRINKING! Very shocking.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My mom (and/or her friends) knows what's up. And I was 17.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I'm catching up on QaF and you know, I'd be happy to delight Brian Kinney.
Oh god yeah.
Question about last night's Alias: what exactly does the Rambaldi device do? Does it actively cause aggression in people and/or bees? What does it have to do with the orchid and the stuff that Sloane has been putting in the water all over the world? This is the first season I've watched this show, so probably a lot of this stuff was covered in past seasons, but I'm adrift.
Also, question for NYCistas: I'm leaving for my trip from JFK tomorrow evening. I'm planning to take a bus from Hartford into the city, which puts me at Port Authority. How long should I expect it to take to get to JFK from PA, and what's the best way to do it?

Oooh! Good link, tommyrot!
I am such a nerd.

Kate P, near as I can tell it does anything they want it to do convenient to the plot.
