And then there's Gus and his guest.
He doesn't travel well. He's like fine shrimp.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

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

My former roommate is just an adorably free-spirited person. It's one of the things I love about her still. There were certainly many Odd Couple jokes made at our expense. But we didn't have a lot of problems.
I understood that she was an outgoing social butterfly. She understood that I was an anti-social workaholic. It was very live and let live in our house.

Ah! Mine were a bunch of very sweet, very cute, very social stoners with very little common sense.
I generally stayed in my room with my computer, coming out to drop the occasional couple of bucks in the Black Label fund.

Hey, maybe we did have the same roommate then! Or at least one of them.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I thought this was funny. The story is labeled as coming from southwest Louisiana, but I think it could translate to a "Little Old Lady from Pasadena" character for Drive.
The following post about the Cajun 12 Days of Christmas is pretty funny too.

Hey Kristen, I know it's weeks late, but congrats on the writing gig. (I just did my too-infrequent scan of the posts.) And regards to everyone, I miss you guys.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Good to see your font, Wolfram. Been missing you.

What is even happening?
Wolfram, I was just thinking about you, the other day! It's good to read you.

Wolfram, I was just thinking about you, the other day!
Curiously, so was I. Hope the kidlets are doing well and you had a good Channukah.
