You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Alright, now I'm hungry and can't decide what to eat.

Have a shamrock shake. If you can't taste anything because of the cold, this is the perfect time to have one.

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

people who already mostly know about their place anyway.

I think it trickles down to people who didn't get the gift bags, and are awaiting instructions on what the next new thing is...and people who read Defamer and Gawker and whatever blog it was that I just linked to.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Um, it would serve them right more if everyone used the certificates, because that would actually cost the company money. And the free advertising is totally to us -- the people who read articles about what's in the Oscar gift bag.

Ooh! Ooh! I will volunteer to personally go tell George Clooney that he should keep and use the non-transferable stuff, for Sticking It To The Man purposes! Just as a public service.

OK. My clothes are in my suitcase. Oh, but not underwear. Shoes, including backup. High of 80 is bear-leg weather, right? I always forget. I have something to sleep in. Toiletries are either in the bag already or need to go last-minute. All I need to pack is my reading material and whatnot for my carry-on bag. I think. Also must clean up house, which really means a 30 minute race around making things look cleaner than they are. I think I'm in good shape.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Diner is bringing me corned beef and cabbage. Hopefully this will cheer me up.

I suppose the Movie Star could take someone WITH them to Le Swanky Resort... and then split.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Bon Voyage, Jesse! What time is your flight?

It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it.

Maybe we can arrange a group outing for just this purpose.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I hate to give out my name on the phone. I'll happily fill out all kinds of forms on line with no thought to privacy issues, but someone asks me who I am on the phone and my brain goes into lockdown. I should really just come up with an alias I can use.

(eta: high of 80 sounds like bare leg weather to me. Have fun using the passport!)

Colin got an assload of goodies in that heartbeat before Coupling tanked.

And it's not like he was even famous.
