Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

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

My thoughts? "My landlord/managment co. is near there, I should google to find out where" "I have no idea what the name of my landlord is."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

They don't think it's anything but a tragic accident, but a no-fly zone has been established and NORAD has scrambled fighter jets over major cities.

Yahoo news (and I realize all the large news sources are saying different things) says that NORAD wasn't tracking this plane. (Yeah, that's the other think -- Yahoo news is saying it's a plane.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"I have no idea what the name of my landlord is."

Heh. Don't you write them a check every month? I actually got a phone call from my landlord the other week, which freaked me right out! He seemed nice enough, though.

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

Prison justice.

They mention that child abusers are at the bottom of the prison hierarchy. I wonder who's at the top.

I had to fill out a card with my address at the optometrist, and I paid careful attention to my writing. Since it was a mailing label, I guess I used my upright cursive. My cursive for my own notes is smaller and slanted.

I used to do handwriting analysis a lot. I have no idea if my three or four different hands all point to one personality.

Wikipedia is bananas.

Also bananas? I just emailed someone I know, but haven't been in touch with in a while, about a work question. Turns out (a) she's on leave working on a book, and (b) she's pregnant, due in December! I guess we really HAVEN'T been in touch! Sheesh.

I write it to [my address] Associates, LLP. I think even when Related was my landlord the checks went to [my address] Associates, LLP.

Even more bananas is that the wiki is by far the most coherent thing I've read about it.

Because books.

Oh, man.

CNN has a breaking news banner: "New York Yankees manager Joe Torre says the plane that crashed into a building in Manhattan is registered to team pitcher Cory Lidle."

NYT says Lidle was killed.
