I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't 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.

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.

I may never sleep again.

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."

Just image if someone spilled one in a major U.S. city.

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.

Sometimes you need to be blue. It sounds perfectly reasonable to me!

Which probably is why my family has learned not to ask me these kind of questions.

"Honey, why are your nails blue?"

"Well, see, when the sun shines through the air, little water particles split the light into the colors of the rainbow and the color you see is blue. Myself? I see a nice shade of mauve. Need help with the potatoes?"

Oh, just learn to love the Big Gulp.

Uhrgn. Very mild sinus issue. Except a major front is coming through, so minor congestion=PAIN and weepy eye. I hate teh weepy eye. Pretty sure most of my mascara is gone now.
