Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Thrive to spite them

The Con Plague has taken up residence in my lungs and doesn't want to go away. I keep having coughing fits that send my co workers scurrying away.

Since I was wheezing last night in bed I called the Dr to find out if I need to go in and get this looked at, or if I'd be okay. (I've had lung issues before). The nurse kept asking ifI just wanted something called in to the pharamcy. She didn't seem to grasp that if I'm not sick enough for medicine then I don't want any.

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

This is cool (to me, anyway): Largest Asteroid Might Contain More Fresh Water than Earth

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That is cool. Maybe someday we'll be mining Ceres for water.

Or if those V lizard-aliens come to Earth to steal our water, we can just send them there.

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

Or we can hide there when the Signs!aliens come.

The OC starts back up tonight, right? I think all the tv guidelike listing sites have a big old hate for me because either some ad bombs the browser or I get stuck in a loop. I can write better shitty code.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

There's a mayoral candidate in Cincinatti who says that only born-again Christians should be allowed to run for office.

That's not the only view he holds that marks him as a GIANT LOONEY.

However, there's another mayoral candidate -- for real -- who is former member of 98 Degrees. You know, Nick Lachey's (Mr. Jessica Simpson's) former band?

I am so so SO tempted to vote for the boy-band member.

Ideal asteroid mining base if it really has all that water.

Vote for whoever will have the best TV show after being mayor.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The OC starts back up tonight, right?

Yes!!
