You're like my fairy godmother, and Santa Claus, and Q all wrapped up into one! Q from Bond, not Star Trek.

I want to build a rail gun. Will you help me?

One of those phrases that brings unholy chaotic glee into my life.

Bear Injures Camper at Rock Canyon Park

Yowza! That park is maybe eight miles from where I'm sitting right now! Granted, that's eight miles east and up into a mountain canyon, but still.

Every now and then I'm reminded I live in The West.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I know I am a terrible employee, but! My boss just told me he's not going to have time to go over the stupid task he told me earlier needed to be done today! So I am done working. Why he was so desperate for me to come in today is beyond me.

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

Allyson, what about a laser gun? Or is that too close to home?

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

Ah. I have converted my boss to my point of view re: the SQL thing, thanks to the use of a visual aid (white-board).

Occasionally I am slightly disturbed at how naturally database stuff comes to me, as it makes me feel not close to the earth.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

otoh, you're apparently very close to the tables.

Be careful with the tables -- sharp edges in case you faint.

I've decided to write a Christmas letter this year. Not sure why. LJ distro only, most probably, because I'm larking. However, I've never actually read one. What goes into one?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Achievements, life changes, looking forward, that sort of thing. Sound a lot like annual reports from corporations if you've read those.

"This year I managed to get hit in the face a total of three times, which is a 65% decline from last year. Losses of consciousness are unfortunately up, however."
