Then I suppose the lesson for the day is, keep the lid firmly attached to the Big Gulp. Or protest in favor of degulpament treaties.

The really scary thing are all those unlidded Big Gulps in the former Soviet Union. Just image if someone spilled one in a major U.S. city.

Thanks, amych!

(Also, that's what I said, so yay me.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Machine gun fire really echoes in a big city.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Machine gun fire really echoes in a big city.

Maybe Howard Gordon is dealing with a cranky Fury.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

On my lunch hour, I bought a baby shower gift, a picture frame for the wedding picture I'm giving my mother to replace the one that got flooded, and blue nail polish.

And I forgot to return my library books. Crap.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I may never sleep again.

I blame tzikeh.

That's exactly right. It's completely her fault. And I can't even use it yet, because I have a concert series this weekend, and I'm pretty sure blue nail polish is a no-no. And then the week after that is Thanksgiving, and I'm not sure I want to explain to my mother why I'm suddenly painting my nails blue, especially when I have no explanation.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Well, if Emily's story is to be believed, and there are those in the "so" called lib"e"ral "media" who would have us not believe the falseness of her story, it's already happening. Sounds very much like a "dry run" for a massive gulping, if you don't believe what they want you to not believe.

I'm not saying what I believe, I'm just saying that my shelter doesn't have room for any more dehydrated potato.
