It's the part where low birthrate and long lifespan are the defining characteristics of "Third World" that really got me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I need to rewrite this business requirements document. I just don't want to. Your contraception talk isn't helping.
I think part of the crap sleeping last night was the Life Serialness of my dreams. Same short and basic one, over and over, as I tried to make it come out the way I wanted. Never worked. Leaves me with a sense of failure this morning, which is distracting.

The only useful thing I've done so far today is edit a paper for a friend of mine. You want me to work on your document, ita?

In happier political news (well, happier from my perspective): [link]
Once a masterful Republican lobbyist with close ties to the former House majority leader, Representative Tom DeLay, [Jack Abramoff] earned tens of millions of dollars representing Indian casino interests and farflung entities like the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands. Through a complicated web of financial arrangements, he helped funnel donations to his lawmaker friends' and their campaigns, and took members of Congress, mainly the Republicans in power, on lavish trips.
Now, after more than two years of investigations, prosecutors have developed a list of at least a dozen lawmakers, congressional aides and lobbyists whose work appears suspect and who are now at the core of the case. With Mr. Abramoff's cooperation, the Justice Department will have a potentially critical witness to alleged patterns of corruption or bribery within the Republican leadership ranks, which in some cases they believe also took the form of campaign donations and free meals at Mr. Abramoff's downtown restaurant, Signatures.

I don't really want to wait that long...

Because I'm spaced, I just typed volkswagen santa monica for a URL, and Opera sent me to http://www.vw-sm.com/en_US/. Which is where I meant to go, after googling the terms above. But it sent me there in a straight shot.
