And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Last night I dreamed up a great new feature for the board. It would have been tedious to code, but not too difficult. This morning? No fucking idea what it was.

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

Whew. The spell worked.

Hey lady! In my dream, I was going to do the coding! You would've been able to sit back and enjoy the fruits of my labor.

Dammit. My sources gave me incomplete intel.

Though I do hate the tendency of dreams to give you significance with no details -- mine convinced me last night that some recurring detail of them was an insight into my psyche. So very plausible until I woke up and tried to remember the detail that had spanned dreams. Couldn't hit on anything that might mean shit. I suspect it was just the import, not the content.

I wanted a breakthrough!

Oftentimes, in college, I would dream the solutions to particularly difficult homework problems. Of course, I'd always forget them in the morning.

But this one time, when I awoke, I could still remember it! I opened the problem set, looked at the question, and my solution made No. Sense. At. All. It kinda changed my inner-world-view. My dreams are supposed to tap into my sooper-smart-subconscious! That 90% of the brain you supposedly don't use? It's like it was playing a cruel joke on the other 10%.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

An idea woke me last night, too, so I built it. The maps now have a finder feature.

eta: I had to hand-alter the data to implement the finder, so I zapped the funny stuff, because I am lazy, arbitrary SOB.

My brain hates you.

But not enough stop me from making a suggestion: Alphabetize the drop-down list?

OK. Done.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Gus, if you rawked any harder you'd tilt the Earth off its axis.

Go, weremonkey, go!!!!!!!!!

All is well that ends in pizza.

I noticed "margaritaville" was still on the map, so I tried moving it.

I misspelled it.

Feel free to remove the one in Maine.
