Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Can I have permission to leave work early and go home to watch "Heroes"?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Can I have permission to leave work early and go home to watch "Heroes"?

Only if I can too. So, yes.

Yes, because I can't do that dance of OMG M3 that we do until you've seen the episode.

You certainly have my permission.

shrift, do you know what horrible name people have come up with for that 'ship? (whitefonted for current season Heroes spoilers, though not very spoilery): MATTHINDER.

Is that not the most awful thing ever?

"Using your turn signal is not giving information to the enemy"

heh. In DC, people will often speed up because they don't want anyone in front of them. And leaving a safe following distance is an invitation to get cut off.

AUGH.

If only I could dowse that portmanteau with gasoline and burn it until it was just a black, greasy stretch of slag in the memory of fandom.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yeah, I actually don't find passing on the right rude-- never thought about it really-- but the people who take advantage of the ending lane to jump the line really chap my hide. Even though, from an economics perspective, it is quicker that they do that, and they're taking on a risk that no one will let them in. Still seems rude.

That is truly dreadful, but then I'd like to eradicate the portmanteau phenomenon as a whole. Yerg.

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

Home. Migraine and stomach sick. Pathetic.

I get irrationally mad at drivers that will haul ass across three lanes, unblinkered, until they end up in a right turn only lane after they've exited.

And then they put on their signal.

Those motherfuckers know where the blinker control is, and apparently how to turn it on. IF YOU'RE IN A [DO THIS ONLY] LANE I'D LIKE TO ASSUME YOU'RE GOING TO [DO THIS].

It's a thing.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, the ending lane-ers are likely to get blocked by me. I will also block when people are driving up the berm to avoid a construction merge before an exit. I will also assist truck drivers if they block.

These are habits I picked up when I was driving Moby, the indestructible station wagon, though, and are not necessarily healthy for me to continue lo these many years later. Particularly when you consider that Moby was, in fact, totalled.
