Nilly! I was having issues with the internet at work yesterday, but Happy New Year! And thank you for the e-card!

Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Now it turns out it's his actual own dog, who's looking mightly confused. And is also a girl dog, but named Sebastian because when he first got her (stray) she marked like a male dog so he just assumed. Hee.
Lucy's a total marker, too. I had a somewhat chagrinned note from the dog walker yesterday that, if marking has any real-world validity, Lucy is now the proud owner of a shiny new Vespa that was parked on the sidewalk and which she claimed before the walker could stop her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Nicole!
I have to do staff evaluations this week. Crap. Can't I just say "you're awesome!" and leave it at that? Why do I need a stupid form?

Hi, Amy!
Oh, and because I didn't earlier: congrats, ND!
Hmm, what else can I exclamation-point today? They wouldn't let Jesse exclamation-point her staff evaluations, apparently. How grammar-ically biased of them!

Cause the captain likes dots, Jesse. (/ The Wire likes carrots.)A rebellious cop was once shoehorned on that show into a lot of paperwork by his boss who said "And put the dots(bullet points) in it. The commander likes the dots." So that is what I think of, filling out something useless.

That's really funny. I feel like that's half of being successful with written work (for school, for your job, for whatever) -- figuring out the little tricks that the person you're submitting to will like. I had a professor in college who liked long paragraphs, so I literally just smooshed paragraphs together after I had written my paper.

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