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

The only thing in your life that is offensive to me is all the work that keeps you from hanging out here! And I can't really fault you for that, so.

Yes, this, though the whole being so far away thing is less than ideal too.

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

I'm planning on cursing the darkness, personally.

I was going to try kicking at it.

My autumn clothes don't fit right.

See how much this sucks?

Exactly! Sheesh!

I had my first real omigawd overslept! in a long while. Usually it is a semiconscious choice. Today? NSM. No idea why. I even went to bed at 11:30!

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

I'm not sure who to root for here....

Zombie Rights March Protested by Pirates

Here's a flickr set of pictures documenting the zombie rights march to Austin's City Hall last Friday. The zombies' signs in the march included badly spelled slogans such as "Mairage = 1 Zombie + 1 Zombie", "More Binifits for Zombie Vets in Our Necronomoconomy", "Brains...The Other White Meat", "We're here, we're dead, get used to it!" and "Zombies Was People Too." The zombies, shouting "What do we want? Brains! When do we want them? Brains!" was unhindered by a group of pirates protesting the undead's demands for their rights.

Arr... brains....

Goddamnit. Someone just deleted the directory with 90% of my code. Which only me and root can do.

They've done this shit before, and I'm tired of it.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Put all that together and you really do have the danger of taking emergency measures for wartime and transforming a peace-time constitution into an essentially martial system, where every citizen or non-citizen can be apprehended at will and detained without charge. I repeat: this is a huge deal. It really should be a huge deal for conservatives who care about restraining government power. Its vulnerability to abuse is enormous; sanctioned torture, history tells us, never remains hermetically sealed. It always spreads. It eats away at decency and law and civility. If the president sincerely believes that torture is our most potent weapon in this war, and that habeas corpus is a quaint relic from the past, then we are in far greater peril than even the most dire pessimists believe.

There goes my good nights' sleep for...well...ever.

Don't your superusers know that with great power comes great responsibility?

It's their fault for being fence-sitters.

eta: It's like when Spock was growing up - he had to choose between the Vulcan way and the human way. There comes a time in every zombie-pirate's non-life, where he or she has to choose between the zombie way and the pirate way.
