Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

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

I can't blame all my insomnia on myself, but some. I'm twitchy and tired now. Great combo. But I think I caught this migraine in time to stop it blossoming. So that's good.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Timelies!

Now at work and sorta settled down. Have a bit of a sore throat. That sort of "Oh my god, am I getting sick?" sore throat where you're not really sure. It could just be from lack of humidity and too much sugar intake. Speaking of which, I'm trying to goose myself up to cutting most sugar and starch out of my diet again. I did it for 3 straight years. When my life went to hell last June, I fell off the wagon and couldn't get on again. And gained weight and feel like hell. I waited until the holidays were over to attempt getting on the wagon again.

I have a gig on the 12th so I sure as hell hope I'm not getting a cold. Or that it will be over by then.

I came in to find an email dated yesterday from an editor making an urgent request for setting up an FTP directory and asking that I do it "this morning". Dude. It was a company holiday yesterday. I'm not in the office on company holidays.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Just seen while looking at citibank's various credit cards: "We'd like to peak your interest, not your interest rate." UGH!

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I wanna go back home and keep trying to clean spyware off of my computer. Nothing will happen if you "practice safe browsing" my ass.

Citibank ads irritate me anyway. That? A whole new category of...what's the word...right...pique.

Agreed. I think most citibank ads just...miss the point. Like the "Thank You" spots that imply any manner of ill treatment can be forgiven via a simple "thank you."

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

The idea that a bank is telling me to ignore my money doesn't inspire me to hand it over to them. Which means, all other things being equal, they don't get mine.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Yeah, crunchy-granola yoga instructors and wheat grass-drink advocates can get away with telling me that money's not important and I should stop to smell the roses. My banker better be pre-Christmas Ebeneezer Scrooge and pinch every penny by hand before it goes in the vault.
