I think someone forgot the fabric softener when they put the bunny in the dryer.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What do you know? Hmm?
I know what it's about, maybe, because of the postings I've seen recently. Unless there is something else you should email me about.

Trust my rage
Hearing the agents all along the "chain" of events describe what they thinking in their own words is about 100 times better than reading about it.
What I find is so interesting is that I took a law school class on Banking Law in 2005 - back when all this stuff was cool. It's really interesting to hear it described with 3 years of hindsight. So many wrong assumptions and so on.

Librarian Warlord
because of the postings
Yes on the postings, because they weren't called librarians - a technical thing that will result in a different pay structure and no peer review for those two positions.

If you dunk french fries into a milkshake it's a meal.
Darn you. Now I want that for BREAKFAST. Which is not right.
What I really want is someone to magically bring me an egg sandwich (which is something I can't easily get for takeout, in close walking distance, sadly), and an iced latte. Without me having to (a) go get cash or (b) get dressed and leave the house. Hrmph.
I am so impressed with the detective work into the toy boat fetish. And yet, I also think perhaps it is best left as an unexplored mystery, forever in our minds as a puzzle, wrapped in an enigma...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Out of the blue, someone just called up my boss and asked if we could develop software for "cybersex." He needs software, cameras, etc.
My boss turned him down.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm listening to This American Life on the recent market/money issues and it is (seriously) really interesting.
Yeah, that was great.
I cleverly got it into my head that what I needed for lunch was at the farthest place I usually go. But the burrito was delicious!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
How long should I wait to call back to check the status of my lunch delivery?

At noon on a rainy Friday? I'd give them an hour.

I was thinking about getting a turkey sandwich for lunch.
Shrift, have you been to Jaffa Bagel? Best turkey sandwich in the city. They carve your meat off an acutal turkey right in front of you. And they have cranberry, too. Like day-after-Thanksgiving every day. There's a few of them downtown.
