She's very good at that.
Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
We'll have to make sure that there's plenty of Claritin on hand when she comes to visit.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

erikaj in Great Write Way on the topic of reading books about writing:
I've read a lot of them, but you know what that means I'm not doing? Writing. So I cut back on them. Cause it feels like warming up frozen crap and reading Bon Appetit at the same time.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I was cackling reading this. scrappy inferno in Natter.
Okay, I had to proof a terrible movie last night. It involved mutant dinosaurs and starred Lorenzo Lamas. Usually having to watch something like this is torture, but they have a tight turnaround so they sent us an FX worktape. Only about a third of the effects are in place, which means I got to watch scenes like this:
Lamas running through cave, holding big ass machine gun. He turns and looks shocked yet resolute.
Cut to: Big teamster guy holding a stick with a cut out of a raptor head at the end of it and a very bored expression on his face.
Cut to: Lamas shooting his machine gun, his eyes narrowed. Bullets spraying.
Cut to: Bored teamster shakes the stick with the raptor head.
Cut to: Lamas shooting MORE bullets. Looking determined and heroic.
Cut to: Bored teamster leans stick over and drops it on ground. Starts to walk away as we end the scene.
Funniest thing evah.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Matt the Bruins Fan in F2F, on the unrealism of Expedia (and by the way, what holds for Boston holds for San Francisco, as well):
I just got a message from expedia offering to help me plan hotel stays and car rentals while I'm travelling to Boston. here's my reply to their feedback address:
I appreciate the offer of help planning other aspects of my trip to Boston, but the situation is already well in hand.
I would like to comment that encouraging people to rent cars in Boston is likely to end in tears when uninformed visitors find out that only the criminally insane drive in that city. I think they would be far better served if you informed them about the excellent public transportation system and the proximity of recommended hotels to subway, trolley, and train stops. That way they'll have a more enjoyable experience, and live to travel via expedia again another day.

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
Ginger: Boston, where it's legal to pass in the emergency lane; where people pass you on the right in your same lane; and where people sit at red lights with one foot on the accelerator and one foot on the brake.
Matt the Bruins fan: And we haven't even mentioned the physical reality of the streets themselves, which are so convoluted that taking a side street to flee the presence of any individual psychotic driver stands better than even odds of curving around and dumping you right back in front of them. My first trip there, I went through so many odd-geometry turns and blind alleys on my way to the Old North Church that I wouldn't have been surprised to arrive just in time to see Paul Revere completing his ride.
Ginger: And Paul Revere would have been passing you on the right.
