Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, problem is, FedEx is telling me that they only attempt delivery 3 times. Which means if I don't get the chair today, I am going to be screwed in some highly unpleasant way.

Again I say UGH.

Shakira Shakira!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I have yet to have a police report. I guess I should do that, but how would I figure out which police to talk to?

311?

Apparently I value my very, very expensive Aeron chair more than my aunt's day of wedded bliss. But I was at her first wedding, at least! When I was five.

I found my local precinct! And called the detective bureau! And talked to a very nice man who told me to just come in with all my paperwork and whatnot. The policeman is my friend.

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

Hopefully he's cute too.

Fingers crossed. I guess I'll go up there one day next week.

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

Coooooooooooool:

A 16-year-old high school student has invented a new way of producing electricity by harnessing the brawny power of bacteria.

Kartik Madiraju, an 11th-grader from Montreal, was able to generate about half the voltage of a normal AA battery with a fifth of an ounce of naturally occurring magnetic bacteria. And the bacteria kept pumping current for 48 hours nonstop.
