It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

In a weird synergy, I'm drinking vodka, getting ready to see Batman. (yes, it's another bar post from Scola)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Awww, Teppy, no need to reassure me about your menageity. I already had you pegged as strictly folie-à-deux creepy.

Me love you long time!

Always Anti-fascist!

This is weird, and probably not Natterly, but I had a dream like that once, Tep. It was hard not to giggle at their pixels the next day. Feeling the total non-festive Fridayness, but this is like the 28th in a row for me. I should be used to it, and yet?

It was probably a mistake to consume a diuretic right before going into a movie.

Ooooh! Serenity preview!

Lee, I'm busy tomorrow but I was thinking of seeing the Bats on Sunday. Wanna meet in the city?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I could do that. I could also come to the East Bay, if you want.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Clearly, the present never is changed by mischievous time-travellers: people don't suddenly fade into the ether because a rerun of events has prevented their births - that much is obvious.

Since our memories of the people would also fade what with their entire existence being erased, how do we know they don't?

My thoughts exactly.

Although it would be kind of cool to "see" it happen -- you're chatting with the mailman one minute, and boom! He's gone. But...would you remember you were talking to someone who had ceased to exist/never existed at all, or would you assume you stood outside talking to yourself on a regular basis?
