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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

There's already a Wikipedia entry: [link]

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.

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

Heh. Don't you write them a check every month?

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.

And the NYT website is not opening. The entire city must be trying to get onto the page.

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

NEW YORK - All it took was daddy’s little girl to turn David Bowie from a rock star into the voice of a cartoon.

Bowie will be a guest on Nickelodeon’s “SpongeBob SquarePants,” playing a character called Lord Royal Highness in a show that will air next year.

Bowie, 59, said his 6-year-old daughter, Alexandria Zahra, is a huge SpongeBob fan and they watch the show together. He wrote in his blog that he’s “hit the Holy Grail of animation gigs.

“We, the family, are thrilled. Nothing else need happen this year, well, this week anyway,” Bowie said.

Bowie, who received a lifetime achievement honor at the Grammys this year and whose songs include “Fame,” “Young Americans” and “Space Oddity,” was previously the voice of Boz in David Cage’s 1999 “Omikron: The Nomad Soul.” He plays inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming movie “The Prestige,” in theaters Oct. 20.

No mention of his feud with Brock Samson....
