It may just be my day, but I am weeping with laughter in my office. I am worried that if anyone walks by they will think I am crying.
Natter 54: Right here, dammit.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Like bordering on dangerous out of date.
Bordering on? I thought we crossed that line a while back.
We're heading to Indiana for the Bluffton Street Fair. Tis a big deal in DH's hometown and loads of fair type food. On sticks.
There's a lemon shake up out there with my name on it.
Well so far we haven't had any head on inflight collisions.
I have to say, I just love saying the word "Walloon".
Tom Scola is my soulmate.

Best Typo Evar.
Hope springs eternal that I can get someone to write me Something Wicked This Way Comes futurefic.
Oh my total god I could write you that.
A really big part of the problem is that the air traffic control system in the US is scarily out of date.
The company that is [bidding on|doing|hopes to do] the redesign of the ATC system is in Cambridge, and recruited employees with, among other things, ads in the T asking, "Ever try to redesign something from the ground up? While it's still working?"
I think the other problem with US flying is that it's a really big country, all controlled by one system. In France, you not only have fewer flights to fewer destinations of shorter distances, it's also a small enough country that if it's raining fit to beat the band in Lyons, it's probably raining in a bunch of the other cities of France too.
Whereas, in this country, a thunderstorm in Ohio causes a cascade-failure so that people in Florida get delayed, and it's like "Oh no, you are doing that just to fuck with me, right?"
I desperately need new glasses and remembered, hey, I actually have vision insurance and the place I go to is in network! I'm trying to figure out my face type and what frames would look best on me.
I am taking suggestions!
Oh my total god I could write you that.
I would love you forever and sing your praises. Er, more than I already do.
Actually on board the plane now.

I have to say, I just love saying the word "Walloon".My advisory today got into a hysterical conversation about the "Whalphin" that one of the girls said she swam with in Hawaii. No idea if a Whalphin actually exists, but I really enjoyed saying the word.
