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.

But when I got outside, I realized I couldn't smoke!

How did I never realize you smoked?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because I'm ashamed of my dirty, dirty habit? I'm sure I've smoked in your vicinity.

Really ? Huh.

Yeah, odds are good if we were inside together for a period of time (say, a meal), and then went outside, I lit up.

Maybe I've blocked it from my memory so as not to distort the squeaky-clean cowgirl image.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Well, we head off to the annual folklore society's getaway after work tomorrow. It's at a new site this year, and the buildings are heated.(In previous years it has been held at a summer camp where the buildings had electricity but no heat.) Should be fun, even if I have done no prep for it.

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

Bah. I could have seen Paul Krugman do a reading tonight at Northwestern. In Evanston, where I just was.

Oh well. ION, my MacBook now has 2 Gig of RAM. Now to install XP on it. But first, pizza!

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

I think cowgirls must have been quite dirty. I mean, assless chaps.

I have spent most of today trying to sleep off a migraine. If I don't make it out to kettlebell, it will have been a complete waste.

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

I have a sudden craving for hard pear or apple cider. I wonder if I can get any decent ones around here.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

ugh, I am reviewing a project that should go to management for review tomorrow morning and it is FULL of errors.

My support worker is getting a long lesson in quality control and then the QA people are getting one. Like if the Table of Contents page is NOT printing in a BOOK! it is not OK!
