I had an unpleasant experience of this sort just before Christmas -- one evening it was so windy that I really felt like I might go flying, and that was icky. Of course, I made the mistake of walking next to the Hancock building in Boston, which is a huge wind tunnel unto itself (really!), so the effect was magnified.

Although I do weigh less than pony-sized dogs, I like to think that I am massive enough as an object that a stiff wind cannot blow me away. I don't even want to think what somebody like the Olsen twins would do in a breeze like that. Wear ankle weights, I guess, or maybe they have members of their entourage who could tie them down, like balloons.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Can people really remember when they had moving violations? I'm trying to get a new insurance quote, and I'm too forgetful.

ita, they'll do a search anyway when you apply, so I don't think you need to be exact. Hell, I put in the approximate year I thought I got a speeding ticket, but it didn't show up when they searched for it since I'd taken defensive driving to get it off my record.

Hec, we have one of those Starbucks machines. I mix the coffee and cocoa to create a makeshift cafe mocha.

Sinus migraine has destroyed my ability to think. I can no longer process simple information. I am so glad that I don't have to drive home, because I totally wouldn't make it.

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

The Olsen twins' big problem is all that baggy clothing they wear--it's just like one big sail.

Okay, ortho appointment made for next week.

I think I need to reward myself with a hot shower and a soak in the tub.

Do you have to use two cups to create this chimera, or do you use an extra large cup or does your machine have a half coffee / half cocoa setting?

I use a large cup, fill it with a cup of coffee, toss out about half, and then fill it with a cup of cocoa. I like that ratio better, and I never ended up finishing the cup/cup ratio anyway.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

So what the hell's the point of making the customer do it at all? What a waste of time.

OMG I've been working in these files and had other people working in these files and just found out that someone else entirely has been copying them off and reorganizing them on her hard drive without noting it anywhere. So, you know, totally missing our changes. Thank god she didn't copy them back and overwrite everything yet.

Shrift, can you come over and SMASH for me?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Does she keep raw garlic in her desk? If so, she's definitely my late, non-lamented insane coworker.
