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

msbelle, are you saying that you're lame?

Down with corn syrup, up with cane sugar.

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

holy crap that's a scary x-post.

Clearly you guys are wearing a higher grade of tinfoil hat than the rest of us.

No, Sean. That's the MSG. The Corn Syrup is to make us too fat and lazy to fight back.

Actually, the corn syrup was developed as a backup to the MSG because people were just too aware of it, so it's not as pervasive (outside of Chinese fast food). The fattening and lazifying effects are just a bonus side-effect.

Plus? I have the deadly poke of amych on my side.

First I was a dork, and then I was lame. I need to take my iPod outside and be emo now.

That's why we put out our monthly conspiracy newsletter. Unfortunately, right now we only have two subscribers, and I suspect that those two people are me and amych.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

the OC made me thoughtful. I'm glad to see they let Seth be Seth, that is to say insecure and unable to be good decision boy. But I was confused as to why Kaitlin kept talking about Marissa as someone everyone loves and sees, as someone who overshadows her. Okay, I can see the overshadowing part, but Marissa? the alcoholic, pill popping, almost suicidal, faux lesbian who shoots people? whatever.

Also, question: was it here that people were talking about Gerald Butler's turn as Beowulf? I finally saw the trailer and Butler seems to big to be Beowulf. And I'm disappointed that Grendel is just some excessively hairy dude and not an actual troll.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

1. Task Manager. Anything new running?

Not that I see on a cursory check. I ran HijackThis, and the only unidentified registry key was a setting for Spyboy (which is now my bitch, and is updating again).

2. Registry. Anything suspicious?

The first thing Ad-Aware deleted this morning was a registry key, and it hasn't reoccurred. I haven't gone in and physically looked at the registry yet.

3. The HOSTS file?

Is it literally called "hosts"? I don't see anything by that name in the System32 folder.

What's your system doing when you try to surf?

Some sites work fine, like this one. I can always get to Yahoo Mail's front page, but no further. I can get the header of cnn.com, but not any content. I can load Norton's webpage, but not McAfee's. It seems to be completely hit and miss.

Her info is way out of date, is my fanwank. And being a Cooper girl, she's not bright enough to figure that out.
