Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

"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

Sympathy for the folks nearer the Gulf Coast, but I'm loving the fact that we have clouds and rain for the first time in a month.

I was all panicky finishing up half of what I thought was due out yesterday at 11:00 pm, and then realized that the next segment is actually due 8/31. The euphoria saw me home safely. Though it may not survive the 50 page recordkeeping grid document I have to apply edits to tomorrow.

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

It's gotta be Tara Reid. Unless it's Lindsey Lohan.

Good morning! It's shaping up to be a beautiful one. I've already gone out to surf and had an iced chai latte. I may be able to weasel more of both into my weekend too. We've only just begun.

Dana, I hope NO is safe.

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

No krav?

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

We've only just begun.

Didn't realize you were (a) a Carpenters fan; (b) a surfer. This is all because of Lilo and Stitch isn't it? You're starting to get like that woman in the Superheroes episode of TAL who learned all the necessary skills to be a superhero.

Krav isn't until 11:30. Plenty of time to rest up.

Didn't realize you were (a) a Carpenters fan; (b) a surfer

I wouldn't qualify myself as either -- but when an earworm hits, I need to share. As for the surfing -- well, I go out with a board and a wetsuit, and see what happens. So far, not bad.

Look what I just learned from the NYT:

Apple commands an estimated 75 percent of digital music sales, and roughly 80 percent of sales of MP3 players

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I've been watching the new channel "Current": it's interesting, like a combination of early-80s MTV with mid-90s earnestness and production values. But if there's anything they are apparently in need of, it's content, so if anyone knows any aspiring documentarians it'd be wise to point them that way.

with mid-90s earnestness

I don't remember being earnest in the mid-90s.

Well, you were in SF. They're very special.

I don't remember being MTV in the early 1980s, either.

Silence means security silence means approval

but when an earworm hits, I need to share

You don't have to. I've had "Rhinestone Cowboy" stuck in my head the last three days and not once have I mentioned it to anyone. It's just been in my head, riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo....
