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

I don't understand people.

"You sent me email?"

Uhh, yeah. Also, I just called you about that email an hour ago.

Today has been a day of major inbox obtusiveness.

And also of migraines. I'm going home.

I think my building counts as a high-rise, so I can hide in the closet instead of the basement.

Anyway, it's all quiet at the moment.

I'm still at work and the clouds are clearing up downtown. The last bits of sun for the evening are poking through.

So, I'm watching Criminal Minds from whenever, and it's weird, after watching Dead Like Me all summer, to see Mandy Patinkin talking about Rules and the following thereof.

OMG, St. Ignatius is playing Sacred Heart Cathedral in prep football across the street at Kezar Stadium and it sounds like the Christians have been thrown to the lions.
