Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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

A friend called me at 10 to 9 this morning. "Did I wake you?" "No." "Oh, you're up early!"

Dude...so you thought you would wake me?

Not that it's a big deal. All I have to do today is jobhunt, and why not get an early start. Just weird to go into a call with that assumption.

I installed an app on my Powerbook last night so I could send SMS messages from it, instead of T9ing on the phone itself (which is pretty good, but there's a keyboard right there, so why not use it? The app also has a caller ID function, so when the phone rang this morning I looked over at the laptop screen to see why it wasn't asleep, and it had her name and phone # writ huge across the screen.

Cool. Weird, but cool. Shame you can only have on bluetooth connection at a time--it's either this app or the headset.

My mother (no, really, she did) had a dream that she was having an affair with Bill Clinton; they were at a party being all sneaky with the stolen glances and all. Which is hilarious, because she's not a Clinton fan... at all.

We're a triumvirate, troika, or possibly the triptych.

It's true, ita. We've got at least two years on you, and we're all North American natives, which is how we knew Journey wasn't ever a hair band.
