Ooh, Laura! Good to hear that things are getting liveable again. I guess I shouldn't complain about the snow we had yesterday, huh?
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Does post 66 make Nilly 2/3 Evil?
Um, does it make me take a road trip that crosses the USA? Because that would be a much more fun reason to not being here than, well, work.

Daylight Savings Time confuses me when I'm not expecting it.
For example, I just called Polgara to say, "Gah. I'm running late. I'll be there in 15 minutes." She replied, "Dude. Fall back."

Oh, Kristen! I didn't get to wish you a proper happy birthday on time. Um, happy third-week-of-your-new-age?

hee No problem. And thank you!
(I owe you an email.)
I should go dry my hair now. Since I'm early and all...

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Okay, this is absolutely hilarious if you played old school Nintendo games: [link]

Our wings are not tired.
She replied, "Dude. Fall back."
Dude, I love the whole Fall back thing. I needed the extra hour. Getting up with the sun out is a good thing too. Not that we are on any actual schedule or anything.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Welcome back, Laura!

All is well that ends in pizza.
My take on DST is making the timekeeping (of man-invention) somewhat closer to nature/God/Gaia/etc. In fact I think we should have more divisions, set it back an hour more for July and August.
There's still too much sunlight before you have to get up in the summer.

I'm really going to hate 5 pm, though. I hate it getting dark before I leave work. HATE IT.
Eating and then running errands. Finally getting rid of old vacuum. Yay.
