Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They're actually both blasts from the past -- you remember Anna, the blonde? And Theresa, Ryan's possible baby's mama? Both back.

What I always find fascinating are the articles that compare American sized restaurant portions with European restaurant portions.

Le Bloke and I were just discussing this the other day. He was telling me that abreakfast deal is a large coffee and two donuts. TWO! Why would one person ever need two donuts for one meal? It's madness!

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 get all confuzzled and tend to lump the whole lot into acronyms-my-husband-won't-let-into-the-house.

Oh, God, me too. Well, except for the husband part.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

The firm had a potluck and BBQ today, and I ated too much side dishes. This afternoon is going to last forever, unless I actually fall asleep.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Why would one person ever need two donuts for one meal? It's madness!

No kidding! I require at least 3, and 4 if they're those small-ass cake donuts.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh, God, me too. Well, except for the husband part.

So you mean my husband doesn't get all in your face about environmental toxins with you? Glad to hear it. I thought he gave EVERYONE an earful.

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

Burrell, did you get my email from this morning?

Now tagless for your comfort.

There's already talk of Jeb Bush running for president.

My husband told me I'm not to read that story. I'm on vacation. That being said, that very thought raises the bile.

Mmmm...tasty bile.

Well, Jeb still says he's not going to run for whatever that's worth. Right now, I'd think the nomination would be in the bag for him.

Burrell, did you get my email from this morning?

To quote my daughter, not yet. Did you send it to my work address? That's the best one to use.
