Being pimped by your father is less ooky than doing him, but I feel I'm splitting hairs.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Allyson Natters:
Do you ever feel like we're all supporting each other, sometimes dragging each other, through miserable work days? Like a white collar platoon?
We gotta keep moving! Five O'Clock will never get here if WE DON'T KEEP MOVING
There's a Buffista down!
We gotta KEEP MOVIN'!
We can't leave sarameg behind! She just got nailed by freakishly bad code and a deadline!
Go on without me! But AVENGE ME! AVENGE ME

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

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Raq in Great Write, on the subject of writing dialogue:
You have to have the skill to trim the viburnum, but not make it into a meatball.
And I love that so much, I may have to tag it, if she'll let 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

flea: I now want someone to make a film called The Preposition. And have it be a thriller, about grammar.
Gud: It'd probably be a thriller that left you hanging at the end.

Aimée: Plei, do you know off-hand if you have to be a pro to buy MAC Chromacake?
Plei: I do not know, for I am out of the loop. I feel like a lapsed Catholic or something, "Fashion, forgive me, for it has been 9 months since my last MAC purchase."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Debetesse, in Natter:
I've been having trouble getting my printer to feed. It kept going in on the right, but not the left. I checked the troubleshooting stuff at the epson site. I tried feeding paper through repeatedly. Eventually, I was tugging on a piece of paper to pull it through, and I see this silver corner. "Oh, shit," I think, "I've pulled something loose." But, well, now it's loose, and the paper's still stuck, so I pull it the rest of the way out. And, with the paper, the silver thing comes out. Only it's not a piece of the printer. It's a benadryl, in one of those bubble packs. Apparently, my printer was feeling congested.

"Technology offers the possibility of great chances for students to do more learning and experimenting on their own, and I find it very promising and exciting. Without more information about planning and support within the instructional environment, however, I won't be able to take full advantage of its promise. Incorporating technology into instruction needs more than an add-on piece; it requires a full... "
