Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nice that I don't even know who Luke Cage is, but the boys I saw Serenity with were talking about him.

Does anyone know a way to get a non-responsive program to close, when Task Manager doesn't seem to be doing the trick?

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

If you can work out the process name, you can end it from the Processes tab of Task Manager. Either that works, or it'll tell you it can't, at which point I restart the machine.

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

Huh. You should be able to kill any app with Task Manager.

What exactly is happening? What version of Windows? Have you looked in both the 'Applications' and the 'Processes' tabs of the Task Manager?

eta: x-post....

Right on, thanks. Of course that didn't work either, but I'm happy to have one more thing to try.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Those ONTD comments make me think he named himself after Luke Cage

In fact, Nic Cage could have gone by Nic Coppola (his real name), but he indeed did adopt the "Cage" last name because he was a fan of Luke Cage, Hero for Hire -- and also because that way, most fans/casting agents wouldn't immediately associate him with his famous family.

(FTR, this is practically all the Nic Cage trivia I know.)

You say. Closet fangirl.

I was disinclined to restart, because it took this long for the computer to get back up. Such a piece of shit.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

They seem so charming! Are they reputed for crap taste (I'm not including teabagging here -- that should be irrelevant. Please let it be irrelevant).

I don't know about how they decorate their apartments or what books they read, but one of them, at least, is a big Red Sox fan. (They were here over the weekend.) I guess it is a funnier joke if you know who Carl Yastrzemski and David Ortiz are. (Neither is particularly girlish.)

I guessed they were ball players -- it was the taste part I was wondering about.

Are these shoes dainty?
