Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I suppose if you enjoy sports and want to teach, that makes sense.

That's the story of my aunts -- like kids, like sports, why not. Of course, I think Phys Ed grad school was also a good place to meet other closested lesbians in the 60s, but I could be retconning.

What is even happening?

From Barack Obama -- "Oh god oh god we're all gonna die [of bird flu]"
Oh, man. I shouldn't read things like that. If I were King of the Forest, I'd quarantine everyone but me. Actually, that would take care of a lot.

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

It's like prison guards, I suppose. There are thousands -- millions? -- of people doing the job, and I'm glad they are, because I really don't want to.

Or, in my world, it's like schoolteachers.

Dude -- look at this -- A9's yellow pages can show you storefronts if you're in the right cities.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

right before I was going to be,

So, Vortex, due to the Chappelle show, you're not?

Oh, man. I shouldn't read things like that. If I were King of the Forest, I'd quarantine everyone but me. Actually, that would take care of a lot.

Keep in mind, of course, that according to the three-part piece in the New Yorker recently, we should be so lucky as to die from the avian flu and not suffer the overcrowding, starvation, and rampant epidemics which global warming will bring us in the next fifty years in the period before the planet becomes so hot that no human life can be supported.

I've decided to stick my fingers in my ears and go lalalalala.

I can't decide if that's more cool, or more creepy.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm mostly amused at how late he is to the bird flu paranoia party. (Not that the paranoia isn't justified, but it's not like this is news. We've been on the verge of a major flu pandemic for years now.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Dear people that live on streets that flood every time it rains:

Next time it rains, your street will flood. The pumps will turn on whether you call me to ask me if they are on or not. Therefore, please, do not call me. Especially if it is lunch time. BTW, how did you even get my number?

Kthxbye

I think it's cool because I can search on "pharmacy" and my address, and actually see the stores, which helps my mental organisation. Such as it is.

It's clearly very cool ("wait, is that the place I'm thinking of? YES IT IS!"), but I kind of expect to see myself in one of the pictures....

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

but I kind of expect to see myself in one of the pictures....

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Some day you will be able to google yourself and see live video of yourself....
