I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

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

Did someone declare it National Randomness day, without telling me?

First, I had to stop at the grocery store on my way to work this morning, and the person in front of me started talking to me about flowers, which neither of us were buying.

Second, when I walked into my office this morning, two of the admin assistants were already there. Not to see me, just to talk to each other more privately.

Third, I responded to an attorney's request for the Montana Rules of civil procedure asking for some clarification, which I got. A few minutes later, I also got this back in response to the same email:

if my life takes me to butte i am sure going. no doubter. also shouldn't evel knievel have jumped this toxic pit. i guess there's something even he won't do.
(he thought he was responding to another email.

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

I think the concept is exciting, because it's simple and terribly profitable. I think the pieces of artwork are dull as all hell.

Googling to make sure it wasn't a hoax led me to this blog of uncommon business ideas, which is quite interesting.

libkitty, I totally used to be funnier. Wait, no, that's not what I meant (so shut up if you agree). But I think sampling would indicate not so with any sort of witty when the pain is on.

Like, say, NOW, dammit.

Okay, off to nap.

Well, then. I take it he's not happy with work/city?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Totally. And all the numbers I'd want are gone.

Um, Lee, toxic pit? Oh dear.

I think he was referring to Butte's Berkeley Pit [link] which luckily I had heard of, and the (unrelated) fact that he might have to go to Butte for a case, which I knew.

Still weird though.

Always Anti-fascist!

Why the Inner Harbor makes me think of shootings: Because of an incredibly(some might say manipulatively, including me) heartrending H:LOTS where a kid stops somewhere to look at some dinosaur stuff and gets shot while the shooter is aiming at some other teenager his gf is cheating with. The kid dies(but unusually for Homicide, not right away) he's on life-support so we all watch Marcia Gay Harden Cope With Grief and fight with her probably equally notorious and award- baity husband. It's not especially dangerous there(unless tourists give you hives) it's just the first time I ever heard of it so it stuck.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Say I mailed something from the US to Canada, and the address indicates province, postal code, etc., but does not actually say Canada. Any reason to think it won't go through?

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

brenda, insent.

Any reason to think it won't go through?

The incredible slackness of the post office? Seriously, I'd be worried. I mean, if you get an on the ball worker who realizes that Ontario is in Canada, you might be okay.
