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

When you connect something to it, it'll change color and all that.

I do have something connected to it (James Bond). Do I need two things?

eta: I have two things connected to it now. Guess it's just going to stay brown.

Who makes the shirt? Any major label?

I think it's one of their own brands, though I don't know where the specific image came from. According to the consumerist, it's still on the shelves.

Hm. It's been a while since I did it, so I'm just looking at it and trying to remember. Oh! I bet you need to fill in the one that's sort of the hub for that box. If that makes any sense.

I guess the point is that it really will turn green eventually.

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

The hub was filled in when I got there. I connected another box to the hub, so it's green instead of the blue for the theme. Perhaps when every box that links to it is green it'll be green. And I won't know which boxes link to it until I fill them in.

Did you complete it, Strega?

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

Did NY like move and no one told me? I just don't remember the sun going down before 5 pm by mid-November. It's so dark!

It's the same here. Way too dark way too early.

And I have newly purpled hair.

I'm so jealous. My hair and face are disaster zones this month. Oh well.

bon bon, I have the response pretty much every fall. Like WTF? Where's the light?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It has been feeling really dark, really early. Yesterday was bananas, but it was because it started raining at like 2.

ita, I may email you with specific questions of things that were driving me crazy on that thing.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I am LIVID. I am about to get my FOURTH tivo/DVD recorder in less than a year and Tivo is doing FUCK ALL. They tell me that they can't do anything because Humax, another company, manufactures the machine, all they provide is the service. I said "I didn't buy Humax. I bought a big orange box that said Tivo. Your name is on it. This machine represents your company and I don't understand why you don't care that your company is being maligned by this situation" He said "we care, I just can't do anything. I can offer you a credit on your service to use towards a new tivo" I lost it then and told him that he obviously didn't care, offering me a credit was USELESS, since I'd already been charged for the service, it was even, and I didn't appreciate him trying to act like I was gaining something. And what is $20 going to do for a $300 machine? I asked to escalate past him, he said there was no one. I said "you don't have a boss?" He said yes, but they didn't take calls. I asked for a name so I could write a letter, and he refused to give me anyone's name, just told me to write the address on the website.

Lies he told:

1. "I can't offer you a credit on a new machine because the Tivo is basically free with the rebates"

2. "Pioneer makes Tivos with DVD recorders"

LIVID. Oh, the letter that I will write.
