Sushi. I'm going to have sushi for lunch, and read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell while I do so. I've been meaning to have this lunch all week and got distracted.
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

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

If I only had a brain...
Can somebody explain the whole "dive bar" fad to me? For the longest time, I thought it was a bar where SCUBA fans hung out. What makes it a dive bar? What's cool about it?

I love the monkey brothel and the vacuum tormenting starling.

Is it a fad? There have always been dive bars and hipsters have always gone to them. What's cool about it? "Authenticity" - which hipsters crave because they have none. Also they've read too much Bukowski and drew poor conclusions.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Monkey monkey monkey!
Noodle noodle noodle!
I think I am going to have sushi for lunch too, unless I have a hamburger and cajun fries.
My computer stopped working last night, and this morning I got mocked by the Apple support guy for not searching for "three beeps" on the apple site, since if I had, I would have known what was wrong. (probably just a loose memory chip). Then I tried to make a reservation at the local genius bar, but couldn't, since all we have here is IE, and of course the reservation concierage won't work on IE, so I had to call the store to make a reservation, which according to the web site and the store's phone tree is not allowed, but they let me anyway, so now I have to go to the Stanford Mall after work, but that's okay, since I can go to PF changs.
Also, I gave up caffeine today.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
There was an afterschool animated special on the passenger pigeon when I was a kid. I sobbed uncontrollably.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Why are you giving up caffeine, Perkins? It's like the best drug ever!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I didn't know there was a dive bar fad, but recently a friend who grew up in New Jersey was talking about how much it annoyed her that all the rich kids she went to school with always wanted to go to "dives" because it was cool. I always thought of it as a hipster thing, but I don't know that these people are hip.

An uncaffeinated Perkins? Do I want to know that person?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
FUCK!
My bank put a fraud hold on my debit card. I paid $274.00 on a cable bill by phone this morning, but instead they charged me $2,740.00.
They're gonna remove the fraud hold in a few minutes.
