Kristen: So the FBI is investigating a connection between the blaster worm and this?
You know, if our power system was a little more up to date, I might put more stock in that theory than I do.
ita: The power grid runs WINDOWS XP?
Are they insane?
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Kat on the power outage:
I did not walk. I walked up from Greenwich Village to Port Authority where I attempted to go in and catch a NJ bus thinking it would be easiest. Silly me. Port Authority was spewing out people like a deranged popcorn popper. You couldn't even move on the sidewalk in front of it. So I walked around the corner to take the cheapie shuttle bus and found people crowding around and desperately pushing to get on anything that moved. I reached down, found my inner pushy bitch, and got myself on a bus. I then proceeded to spend hours inching along in a bus without air conditioning (the driver turned it off because he was afraid of running out of gas) while people periodically hurled themselves at the vehicle beating frantically on the doors and windows and begging to be let on despite the fact that we were packed in so tightly that we couldn't even move. And then, we finally made it to the Lincoln Tunnel. I have never been so happy to see a hard, straight object going into a dark, round opening in my entire life.
Trudy on the power outage:
Beverly: I guess we'll probably see a wave of births in the Northeast, come next May. It's what happened in the brownouts.
Trudy: HELLLL no. I'd have only slept with vampires last night and only until the friction warmed him up.

There's about 15 IT guys still here. All the female cow-orkers left quickly, for some reason, it seems like they didn't want to get trapped here.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Ita, in Bitches:
But girls who'd no doubt eradicate any smaller insect they saw would regularly run screaming from the classroom. "Bat! Bat!" they'd yell. Like a bat could just sit in the corner of the ceiling like that.
Ignorant.

ita sets, Hecubus scores:
Is a package store just, like, a 7-11 selling beer?
No. They sell packages. They're all in identical boxes, wrapped in plain brown paper. If you're lucky the package you bought has beer. If you're unlucky you just bought a package of used diapers. It's kind of like the lottery.

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

From LotR, on The Silmarillion:
Sean K:
I've been told if you have a hard time getting through it you should read it backwards. That is, you should read the last section (is that the part that's "Of the Noldori and the Fall of Men" or something?) first and work your way back from there. It's the sections at the end that are the most readable, I guess.
DXMachina:
Yeah, it gets easier as you go, but that could also be because the nearer you get to the end, the fewer elves with names that start with "F" are still alive to confuse the reader.
