Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

There is some concern about gas in Atlanta because of the lack of electricity to pump gas through the pipelines that normally serve the area. The gas companies are saying that they'll use more tanker-trucks instead, but there may be some temporary shortages.

Silence means security silence means approval

I'm more sensitive to it myself for the same reasons, DH/dw, but I don't think we can class former friend as having a typical blue state reaction.

OK, that's true. JZ is smarter, nicer, and a hell of a lot prettier. He is a slovenly moron.

We're typical blue-staters. He's an arse, and we already pretty much knew that. He's just taken it into the unpardonable range this time.

I wish he had a conscience. Or compassion. Or a soul. He claims to be a Buddhist, but Buddha would probably give him a swift kick in the ass for being such a hole.

Nope. Grew up a few miles from this place.

Thrive to spite them

I have no idea how much gas it will take to get to Atlanta from here, I have almost a full tank but I was going to top off as soon as I got in Georgia.

And I heard a rumor around the work place that here in town we are goign to have to start rationing electricty for some reason.

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

Quick, tell me the first thing that comes to mind that you like about yourself.

(I'm suffering from lack of work.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I mean, not that I go to Vermont either, but I could. In a day. And come back again for supper.

Nonsense! If you go to Vermont, you go to the Alchemist Pub and Brewery (23 S. Main St., Waterbury, VT) for dinner!

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

the first thing that comes to mind that you like about yourself.

That I'm in California.

They're talking movies at work. They shouldn't do that because I can't help piping up with "Well, it's based on a famous science fiction story..." when I really should be either working or goofing off on the web.

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

Quick, tell me the first thing that comes to mind that you like about yourself.

I'm smart.

Or it could be that was the first thing that comes to mind because my mind is biased.
