And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

Happy Birthday Jilli!

I'm partial to The Kid Behind the Counter Hates You, but I may be biased from having more experience with snotty clerks than panty hose.

Anyone need a melon baller? They're tearing out the office kitchen and replacing it with an office, and thus they're clearing out 35 years worth of stuff from the drawers and cabinets. And of all the hundred things in the utensil drawer (some of which had old post office codes like "St. Louis 12, Missouri" stamped in the metal, signifying an age when ZIP codes were only used by liberal hippie postmen), I was handed a melon baller.

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 had NO IDEA Sony did this.

I want to beat them all up.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I like "Kid." I'd pick that up off the shelf to see what it was about.

The BF is at Track Day for the Motor Press Guild, of which he is a member. It's at Willow Springs, a pretty famous racetrack, and all the press guys get to race expensive new cars and get a fancy lunch and free car-related stuff. He called me from a Jaguar he was driving 90 MPH and he was going to drive an Aston Martin when he was done with that. He is going to be a very happy BF when he gets home.

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

He called me from a Jaguar he was driving 90 MPH

Handsfree device, I hope.

That's all we've been talking about all week on the university's internal tech support mailing list.

There was talk of banning Sony CDs on all university computers, but because the institution is so disestablished that would have been impossible to enforce.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I am so not awake from my nap yet.

Allyson, I like Hate.

Next year, they should pick Hugh Laurie for SMA, because then my head could cheerfully explode.
