I woke up early. That almost never happens.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The classic New Orleans accent is said to sound a bit New Jerseyish.
I asked a linguisics prof about this once, in the context of John Fogerty's sounding like a New York chorus girl from 40s movies ("goil", etc.), and he told me that it's the same effect developing twice: Irish immigrants' accents transmuting in the New World. The weird part is, that "goil" particular part of the accent has almost completely disappeared from New York, except for a vaguely similar effect in native Yiddish speakers; I think it persists still in New Orleans.

I'm sitting in my office with my monster coat on my lap and my llama(?) wool scarf around my shoulders. Just not right.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I was one of those horrible people who has 18000 bags with them during rushhour commute. AND THEN the Post Office I thought I could stop in before work didn't open until 9, so I didn't even get to mail them yet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
MIT Mario Bros = hilarious. But shouldn't those kids be studying?!?!?
I'm going to walk to the subway, and curse each homeowner who has not yet properly cleared their sidewalk of snow and/or ice.
Grrr! I hate those people. Especially because it just compounds over the course of the winter.
Here is my problem: I just don't care about either of the classes I have left. But I need to. Bleh.
And the stupid president is on the television. Luckily, I have the Boondocks on the DVR.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I ran through my Boondocks yesterday (the premiere had rolled off the TiVo) and thought it quite interesting. Not hysterical, like I was expecting, but interesting. Hella violent and not optimistic. The latter NSM of a surprise as the former.

I generally want to re-watch the first 5 or 10 minutes, usually because I can't believe they really went there, but the rest nsm.
