I've been trying to keep my computer impersonal. I got web caches, Batman and LotR wallpaper, one completely work-unrelated app -- getting that thumb drive was very freeing.
But she was naked! And all... articulate!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Possible doom for LA folk:
WASHINGTON - A little-known fault that runs under Los Angeles into its suburbs could cause the costliest earthquake in U.S. history and kill as many as 18,000 people if it shifts, geologists said Wednesday.
a Don't Panic disclaimer:
“As an individual, your odds of dying of a heart attack or an auto accident are much greater than of dying from this earthquake,” said Ned Field, a USGS researcher who led the study. “That being said, there are other sources of earthquakes throughout the region, and it’s not a question of if, but when, so everyone should take necessary safety precautions.”

HEY. I JUST AGREED TO NSYNC PICS.
Do you need some? I can send a few thousand.

Is that the one that's moving Downtown closer to Pasadena and will, one day, cause a new mountain range to spring up between the two?

Are they moving them away from me? I'd like Pasadena to be closer to me.

Hee. Send me ten. Pretty ones.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hm. That reminds me, do California people strap down their computers and televisions and stuff? I keep thinking I should put earthquake straps on my computer and teevee so that they don't fly out and smush my cat.
I haven't felt an earthquake in a long time.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We have our bookshelves strapped to the studs in the wall. I figure if the tv falls and breaks, I get a new one.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
And if it falls on Space Cat?

Then no Space Cat.

I've been looking at people recently, one in particular, getting away with the most ludicrous shit through sheer force of charm and a great smile. Not anything at my expense, nor anything I think I should be able to get away with, so no skin off my nose.
But it cracks me up and slightly sobers me that 80% of the people in the room would get smacked down or shut out for the very same sentences -- they just don't have the infectious delivery that sells the audience on the outrageousness.
