But I neeeed all this stuff!
This is the problem with a "professional" grad school program: It really seems like a lot of this stuff will be useful later. Or else I'll toss it all after graduation.
Anybody can be a prop class clown.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.
Apologies if someone has already linked this, because I'm a big old skipper:
The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
(I find some of the animation disturbing, but the song by itself is pretty funny.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
Heh.
There. Culture has hit its zenith. We can do no more....

Huh. Just got my first Emergency Warning broadcast, for flooding along the Russian River.
Happy New Year's Eve, everyone!
I have a leak in the sink, which is annoying. I'm gonna have to find a plumber, as replacing the drain on my kitchen sink really doesn't appeal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just snagged the MP3 of Ultimate Showdown. Definitely goes on my upbeat playlist.
You know, if I had an Emergency Warning broadcast, I wouldn't know unless they e-mailed me. Did you see it on TV or hear it on the radio, Consuela?

b) Why were people confused when Julia Roberts married Lyle Lovett? Makes perfect sense to me. I'm craxy over him.
I was confused because her having that much taste seemed weird.
And then I was confused because people were confused for other reasons. Lyle Lovett is lovely.

I hope it turns out to be nothing, Consuela.
I guess that's a problem with people timeshifting their TV and radio -- there's less of a way to get through to them Right Away. OTOH, last time I was made aware of an alert, someone called one of the people I was out with, and then two of us used our phones to get on the web and look up the story as it was breaking.

They're telling people to get out of low-lying areas along the river in Sonoma County.
And we just got a NWS Severe Thunder Storm warning for eastern Alameda County. Huh. It's not even raining right now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

What Plei said.
It's been raining here since last night, Consuela, sometimes really hard, and I lost power sometime between 5:00 and 7:00 this morning.
