Jesse the Jet-Setter! Whoo!
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously, I have gotten way too many good-news phone calls today. Now I'm nervous. BUT NO! It is just making up for my lame-ass summer when all I did was work at jobs I didn't like and not take any time off.

On Tuesday, I'm going to get a makeover from Isaac Mizrahi, and on Thursday, Warren Buffett is flying me to Nebraska.
Holy fuck! I'm very excited about this.

Wow, Jesse's going big-time on us.
I am pretty sure "operationalize" was a word coined by the US military. It smacks of that pedigree.
Dylan, tell 'em it's military jargon, and I bet they let you take it out.
They're curiously inventive with words. They coined "exfiltrate" off of "infiltrate," and a ton of other fun words. Including snafu!
Love exfiltrate. And I think fubar is also military.
It's not that I'm opposed to new words or new uses of old words. I just want them to be clever and catchy, and not sound like something my former boss would glom onto and use ten times in a 30-minute meeting.
So I basically want to be the descriptivist dictator. Because I'm vain, egotistical, and enjoy tilting at windmills.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm planting my flag. I am TOTALLY writing Jesse's biography.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Holy crap, Jesse. So fucking awesome.

PS: Thanks, you guys. Again I am reminded how nice it is, when I'm jumping up and down alone in my living room, to have a bunch of people who will also jump up and down with me.

Holy moly, Jesse. That's crazee. Have much fun. That's pretty much the lottery in starving-student currency!
