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

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

I need quotation research help -- Voltaire to be precise. I have a memory of a quote that translates and paraphrases to "well, it mightn't be better, but at least it's different."

Can anyone point me to the French?

Thanks. It's not on the English page, but it'll take me a bit longer to go through the French. Curse my failing memory.

It's definitely that first one! Thanks! That'll make the French much easier to find.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, just kidding. I like to feel part of the group.

I have achieved the Damn DVR!! Hint for people who are afraid they'll do too much shopping: Get a really extra heavy cable box at the start of your trip, and make sure there's plenty of walking to be done. It works!

All but three animals at the New Orleans Zoo survived. (Perhaps the Zoo oficials should be put in charge of disaster planning?)
