Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Punishingly Intricate

Some states used to ban interstate wine shipment, but that was ruled unconstitutional within the last couple years.

Really? huh. Last time I tried to get wine shipped from CA to MD they couldn't do it. That was about 2 years ago.

dag, I just overheard that the only other woman who works in the office is leaving. We're not great friends or anything but she's nice and relatively normal and I could ask her questions about the other people here without it being weird.

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

Chicago also has something called Delivery.com that acts as sort of a clearing house - you can scan menus for a gazillion restaurants and place your order through the site.

NYC (well, Manhattan) has Seamlessweb: [link]

Looks like they're in LA too.

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

I just got here, and so far have nothing clever to say....

I also, have nothing clever to say.

I was trying to remember last night's dream for a while, but it's gone.

People claims this picture is Courtney Love. I say Courtney's looking a lot like Goldie Hawn these days. It's the hair and the lips.

Oh gawd. Last night I dreamed they found out I had failed to take four classes in junior high, so I had to go back to junior high to take them. This is the second night in a row I've had this dream! Last night I was even thinking, "Wow, I have this dream all the time - now it's really happening!"

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

I had a frantic and enervating sleep last night. It's been a long time since I've been so appalled at the sound of my alarm. And my head is screaming.

I hate to call in sick because there's no reason to accept I'll be better tomorrow. I just can't face showering in the next half hour, much less operating a motor vehicle.

But as I type, the answer becomes more clear. I have to go back to bed. Tomorrow will come in 18 hours. Cross that bridge then.

Alrighty. Sick-this-morning email sent, and I'm back to bed.

"Wow, I have this dream all the time - now it's really happening!"

That's uncomfortably meta. Can you be sure you're awake right now?

And speaking of pictures, why does Jon Stewart look so orange?

I didn't get enough sleep. Can't be interesting. Too busy trying not to die. Must pack up desk this afternoon.
