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

Here's a simple one, Jesse. Although I'd lose the chocolate chips. Ick.

Kat--mostly what I see is that the 1st person that doesn't pull out doesn't make the turn (these are big intersections like Olympic--you HAVE to get started), and when the light cycles again, then they pull forward. Lesson learned, but why on my time?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I guess I could also use one of the rolled-in-nuts recipes, too, eh. And either not roll them, or buy nuts! I'm thinking I'll bake for my minion's last day on Tuesday. I can't decide if I should do an all-staff thing, or just for our department. Hmm.

Yeah, that looks normal, minus the chips.

Hmmm... that's not what I see. But maybe I only see it because I'm the second car! Usually I see someone sitting back behind the white stop here line and then they go when the light turns amber.

There are just so many other things to be ragey about that it's pretty low on my list. Like the cost of gas in general that gets wasted as I wait for some jackass who hasn't figured out that merging is about turntaking and I have to wait for him to go right after the car in front of him did.

When driving I have a near-infinite ability to become enraged. I hate people who haven't decided where they're going to stop at the light, so they trickle fowards the whole time the light is red. Dude. Get to whatEVER distance you like behind the car in front of you and just stop. It's not complicated. Doofus.

Looking at a trailer for Baby Mama. It's not the awful one I saw earlier, with the surrogate peeing in the bathroom sink, but lawd-a-mercy, that's funny?

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

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

It's true in LA that you have to pull as far into the intersection as possible to take the left just as the light turns yellow (and sometimes red), because no one will let you go, ever. And you need to pull up as far as you can so that you can take the dude behind you with you.
This, a thousand times this.
I do this. And, when I do, I give a little glance in the rearview as if to say, "You and me buddy. You and me."
And then this cracked my shit up completely. So true!

This is why the intersection near me (Sloat & 19th) is the intersection of death. Because people do this, and then get so excited that there is a break in the oncoming traffic that they go without looking to see if a pedestrian is crossing. There have been multiple accidents since I moved here just nine months ago.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oh my.

My friends and I are torn. In Philly at the Electric Factory the balcony is where the bar is. You have to be 21 to go up there... so if we're up there we're going to have pleeeenty of room.

And be very close because it isn't that high and hangs over the stage. We think Gerard needs a purple sparkley boa.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Just saw her peeing in the sink. Decidedly unfunny.
