This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Theo, I've got a place for you to crash when you get here. Unless you're planning on staying wherever the con is. In any case, we need to get together. Also, gas is $2.69 around here right now. It's gone up about 20 cents in the last month. I'm not sure how much that will affect you, but just so you know.

Sob. I wish. I think I paid $3.19 last time I filled up and I noticed that my usual station is in the $3.2-somethings right now.

ION, I wanna go home.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am currently trying to give my usually strong immune system a pep talk, since I'm apparently trying to get a cold. Unless the slight cold I thought I had a couple of weeks ago was actually allergies, like my coworker said it was, and this is, too. I can't tell!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Easter wouldn't be Easter without scientific experiments on Peeps: [link]

From another blog:

Well, you've heard of peep jousting, but what happens when you stick marshmallow peeps in a vacuum and then electrocute them with 9000 volts from a neon sign transformer? Check out Divide's photoset to find out!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I just realized -- Vampire People will probably mean the end of hiding my fannishness from my co-workers. Because there is no way I'm going to be able to keep from pimping it.

I have had that same revelation, Jess. Allyson better make enough money as a famous writer to keep us all once we've lost our jobs due to being on line all day!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Jessica! Really? This whole thing is so surreal. It also means my realease date has been pushed up to mid-July. Meep.

Well, either they'll take my "you have to read this book" advice instantly and learn all about fandom from reading it, or I'll have to explain fandom in order to persuade them. Either way, that closet door is wide open...

(My co-workers already know I'm online all day. They just don't know what it is I do here.)

(And to be fair, keeping up to date with media/tech news is relevant to my job, so it's not like my interweb activities are a complete waste of the company's time.)
