Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's only 10:30 on Monday, and I've already had too many frustrating conversations with people who are upset and confused that the world doesn't work the way they expect it to.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Tom, I'm upset and confused that a giant pink bunny does not follow me around and give me chocolate whenever I want it.

That would be because ita is hoarding the chocolate for herself.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Why do people insist on getting in an elevator going down (in a building with only four floors) and not only double-checking to make sure that the button for "1" is pushed (where else would I be going?) but then PUSHING THE BUTTON AGAIN?

I pushed it already! We will reach the lobby! You must trust me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Pushing the button repeatedly makes it go faster.

God, I love Cash Cab. And hilariously, I got a call Friday night from a friend I had just left, because they got into a minivan cab, and were relieved it was not the Cash Cab, as they were tipsy and didn't think they would do well.

If I ever get in the Cash Cab, I can call you, right?

I pushed it already! We will reach the lobby! You must trust me!

How about the people in the lobby who, upon seeing that the "up" elevator button is lit, push the button repeatedly as if they think it will make the elevator arrive more quickly?

And by that I apparently mean Jesse!
