I'm pretty sure it's this kind of behavior that put Matt off of driving in Boston ever again.

Actually, the final straw was the car pacing me to make sure I couldn't make my lane change and turn as signalled, on an empty street, even when I stayed put through a green light. Though there were other less-memorable infractions throughout nearly every minute I spent driving in the city. Plus, the tesseract-like streets themselves.

But it will exist. And knowing that there is new Torchwood in the world makes the world a better place.

Usually that works. Today, not so much. Possibly I should have called in sick this morning.

And you're going to a concert tonight, so you're trading off something fun for something else fun.

I'm going with someone, otherwise I would skip it in favor of crawling into bed and trying not to die.

I can be a total downer about anything today! It is my art.

Offered without comment - bacon bra.

It is sad that the woman pictured seems to really need a bra. Not a good advertisement for the product.

The sink-peeing thing just makes me think Dumb & Dumber: Grrrl Power. So not my taste.

You haven't watched 30 Rock, have you?

Gotcha. I will cease trying to interfere with your downing, and instead stand back and admire it.

Do I want a burrito for lunch? Hmm.

Daisy Jane, that jerk sounds like he must be related to the jerk on lj who called himself progressive but said any honest benefits recipient shouldn't mind peeing into a cup.

It's at reading words like these, I wish there were an emoticon for jaw dropped and eyes popping out of my skull.

barked at Amy Poehler peeing in the sink in the Baby Mama commercial.

Me too!

The little black storm cloud above my head is an immovable object, I'm afraid.

Do I want a burrito for lunch?

Yes.

Wow. That does sound fun.

I don't have a degree and my "background in science" is "I read a bunch of stuff and some of it sticks."

As for this part:

must have interest or passion for dangerous sports and related areas, "no matter how crazy the task appears he has the courage to place his faith in science."

That makes it sound like at some point I'd have to jump out of a plane using some experimental parachute/glider thing that some amphetamine crazed engineering student designed on a napkin during an all-night session at Denny's. "Dude, the math works out, seriously."

I ain't jumpin' out of no plane. Consider me a B.A. Barracus in that situation.

But I'm flattered you thought of me.
