My new car doesn't have heated seats. It makes me sad, even though I know in LA I don't need them, really. I *loved* that feature in my last car.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I thought maybe I was becoming paralyzed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have achieved iPod. The guy at the Costco checkout was all techy-manly-gruff, asking me if I've used an iPod before.
"My great-grandparents brought their iPods here from the Old World, except back then they were called Musical Difference Engines."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The most expensive car we ever test-drove was an Audi...Something (I can never rememebr the names) V-12, which lists for $130,000. It not only had heated and cooled seats but a massage option. Rollers went up and down like those massage cushions you can buy. It was AWESOME.

>... good tasting fair trade coffee in Manhattan
I got nothing on the coffee, Typo -- I drink Bustelo
I drink diet pepsi - so when it comes to coffee I'm clueless. (Hmm - bet that straight line is tempting some people.) So advice would be welcome.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I get my fair trade coffee at Trader Joe's -- the Ethiopia organic/fair trade/shade-grown/etc stuff is quite tasty. Starbucks also carries a few fair trade varieties, all of them Latin American IIRC.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Funny thing is (okay, possibly not actually funny) I haven't installed 6.0.5. I've downloaded it onto both machines at home, and just haven't gotten around to it. But I am running some subversion of 6 both places.
He was all "And it has podcasts?" Dude. How else would I be able to listen to Neil Gaiman interviews about Eternals? I smite thee, and confiscate thine geek cloak.
A couple weeks ago, I was trying to point out how geeky someone was by mentioning they called the battering ram in RotK by name. Unfortunately the guy I was trying to demonstrate this to thought it was very cool (and in fact tried to impress other people with it--and it worked). The guy I'd been trying to out turns to me and is all "Oh, Miss Buffy/Firefly/7 million cancelled shows?" To which I replied "I know it's called Grond. I just don't name drop."
Same two guys, one just back from France, the other using grade school French on him. Recent returnee says "All I know is 'oui.'" Other guy doesn't hear and asks "What?" and is answered by "You know--the Nintendo console."
At which point I need to run screaming from the geekdom.
Sheesh.
At least they're both good looking and can kill with either pinkie.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You know, it's very hard to look serious and knowledgeable to associates who wander into your office when you have to turn off David Bowie's Laughing Gnome in order to listen to them.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
