I think I've filled out my California return three times now, first to prove to myself that yes, tax software be damned, I DO owe them money; and then because it turns out actually to be easier to fill out the damned form than use the software; and finally just because it's so much easier than the other state's that I found it reassuring. Well done, California!
My food is problematic.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Give the guy a crack to the head to knock him out for a few minutes, then have him hog-tied for transport. Or even just have the character be conscious but docile for the trip -- a blow to the head can take the fight out of you for a while, even if you were only down for a minute or two.
That works--I think I'll knock him out temporarily (which if nothing else gives me a perfect point to break from his POV), and then have him wake up a bit later in mid-transport.

Oh, there's something I wanted to ask, and not theoretically speaking:
On which body part would you, given the option, prefer to get a shot (injection shot, not bullet shot): ass or thigh?

Thigh, on the side, so I don't have to sit on a sore lump all day.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Thigh
Thus far, being awake has failed to be at all worthwhile.

I just got a listing for a 4-bedroom house with central heat and air, washer/dryer, 1 mile from town, for $150 a month more than I paid for one third of a three-bedroom apartment with, well, heat, in Boston.
Gah.

Urgh. I'm only being reminded of the insanely hacky commercials for Mamet's new "comedy" that air 2-3 times each morning on my local news station.
Jesse! Did you know that tonight is the premiere of Miss Rap Supreme on VH1? And MC Serch is the host?
