Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I'm hoping Liese stops by with an update on her pooch. It's making me anxious!

This, of course, exacerbated by my need to leave Bartleby for two nights in a couple of weeks and still not deciding who to trust with him. Seriously, it's got me all twisted up.

I am clinging to today by my fingernails. If I can just coast by until this evening when I can climb back into bed and nap, I might not die.

Eight thousand freshmen are arriving on campus this morning. Their parents are very bad drivers.

When I was at university and people discovered that I was an English major, they all wanted to know if I was going to be a teacher. This would cause me to laugh uproariously. People would smile hesitantly and ask, "So that's a no?" I would stop laughing abruptly and give them the crazy eyes, and then mime Babies on Spikes.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm afraid to ask how you mime "Baby on a Spike." It sounds like advanced miming. (First person to make a Spike from Buffy joke gets a whap on the head.)

Oh, all right, I wasn't silent so it wasn't mime, but I'm pretty sure it convinced people not to let me near their children.
