Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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

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

By stereotypical British standards, Tom Cruise is the disabled one.

Woo-hoo! My cooling storm front has arrived... and with an actual bang.

He's an actor I'd love to see get more work, Perkins.

To make dill pickles?

Yep.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

Yes, I could not play myself in my life story. Somehow people need to feel the actor could take the chair off, in some way I don't understand. I would want JJL to play me, anyway, though.

I read that as JLH and wanted to stage an intervention for you. But it's okay.

I pitched our department as a solution to a business unit this afternoon. And it worked. Which means -- I have to do the project. I need to bear that in mind when I'm pitching the woo.

I just got a call from an attorney asking me why I hadn't gotten him something yet. Since the answer was that he himself told the person who asked me for it that I didn't need to do it, I'm very confused. Luckily, I don't think I'm the only one.

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

I loved him on the John Larroquette show. I hadn't followed his career since then, though.

The only thing I know about making dill pickles is - use storebought vinegar. Homemade may not be acidic enough.

I doubt that's helpful at all.

I think that there is something seriously wrong with me. All these pain stories have made me laugh sooo hard. That just can't be right.

Re: taxes

Alaska has no statewide income, sales or property taxes, although some communities do have sales and/or property taxes. And we get Permanent Fund Dividends. This year's is anticipated to be lower than in recent years. Perhaps around $500-800. But it's really cold and dark and icy much of the year, and much of the state has no road system.
