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

Brilliant, Tom.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That was fun. It gave me flashbacks to the Mall scene in The Blues Brothers.

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

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Thanks, Tom -- that was quite wonderful.

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

I was surprised that it made it all the way to shore; I wonder how much that was faked.

Just finished setting up the shiny new FCP edit station for our CBS office. Has there ever been a worse keyboard than the new Mac flat aluminum ones? I THINK NOT. Holy CRAP that thing is horrible to type on. Fortunately we'll be replacing it soon.

The LED 30" display, however, is gooooooooorgeous.

The flat aluminum Mac keyboard is one of my favorites.
