I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

2. They have a battery powered vibrating razor for women. It's called Venus Vibrance [link] and my mind goes to a bad bad bad place whenever I see the ad.

They have a what now? How does a vibrating razor do anything but cut you to ribbons?

I'm a little appalled by the jokey responses in the media to the spammer's murder. Sure, everyone hates spam, but I'd think very few people actually consider it a killing offense.

Kate, where's your tag from?

Russian media...well, you're dealing with a different sensibility here in terms of what offends.

brenda, it's from Wet Hot American Summer, one of the greatest movies ever made.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Happy birthday Kate! I expect you'll get your fair share of cake.

Ciao Bella's texture is off. It's weird on my tongue.

Huh. That's what I dislike about Mondo Gelato. It's like different people can have different tastes. Literally. That can't be right.

But I also think the flavors at Ciao Bella are more exquisitely delicious.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Happy Birthday, Kat!!!

Also...do I really have to take a damned vision and knowledge test to get my CA license? Really? I've had my license since 1991, for chrissake.

I had to. CA was the only state I've moved to that required the knowledge test.

Ohio makes you do this, too. As well as getting an Ohio TITLE for the car, an e-check, and taking the tests--ALL IN DIFFERENT FUCKING LOCATIONS. The Ohio DMV is high on my shit list, even after seven years.

I'd rather swallow glass than drive any length of time with a cat. When we moved to Ohio, Bogey didn't take the three hour trip well. He leaked from both ends and had this eerie, high pitched cry. I had no idea he'd get so carsick, else I'd have gotten something to sedate him, poor thing.

Dammit. Work is stressing me, even though I'm doing lots of work stuff that needs to be done. Feh.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

So I stopped home for lunch and finally got the books I ordered two weeks ago. (They made it as far as the local USPS hub, then someone sent them out to Denver for a couple days and they made it back to the hub yesterday. In addition, somewhere during the journey the box was apparently involved in a game of package baseball, though whether it was used as the ball or a base, I'm not sure.)

I also recieved a letter from my insurance company saying they will not renew my policy when it expires in September. Which logically is fine, considering how much they dicked me around after my second accident, I really need to get a different company, but it still feels like a personal offense.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's like different people can have different tastes.

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

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

God, Jesse, can you stop being so damned intolerant for a second?

Sheesh.

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

It's like different people can have different tastes. Literally. That can't be right.

How come Plei gets this, and I get stuck with the grey leather tongue!?!
