*Sniff!* Brings a tear to my eye and warms my heart to know that we grow them that evil back home.
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

He also said "I'm on the computer enough as it is," at which point I knew I was talking to a crazy person and got the hell out of there.
I usually get to that point a couple times a year, and then I go on vacation. After a few days without computer access, I remember that I don't know how to live without Google.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love it when the interweb makes fun of ugly people.
Some say the internet is for porn, but really, where would it be without the mocking?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My computer was in the shop for a whole week last month. I was freaking the hell out the whole time. I actually find Wikipedia more useful than Google these days, though.

where would it be without the mocking?
I had to explain to someone that the only reason I really like to be around people at all is because of the opportunities it offers to mock!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, speaking of annoying New York types... I was just in McDonald's and this little girl was throwing a drama fit about how she couldn't possibly sit there, with lots of pointing and gasping. The nanny was like, whatever, and started moving to another table. Finally the little girl said, "They wrote on the banquet!" Since when do five year olds know what a banquet is?

What is even happening?
Um, what is a banquet. I mean, I know the "fancy feast" definition, but did she mean the table, or counter, or what.
Also? She's smart. Chris (will I EVER stop typing that as "Christ" < backspace > < space >) talked me into it, and my stomach is still unhappy, two and a half hours later.

banquet
I think it's ban-ket, which is a built in bench.

Fuck, I don't mean banquet. Banquette? The seats along the wall.
This is why I'll never be rich.

Art Crawl!!!
She meant the seat. (Pronounced like the qu are a k, I believe.)
