Talking to yourself again?
Ha! No, I was with a buddy coming back from a snack break. He sort of got this glazed look in his eye and totally spaced. I swear, he was two steps away from walking into a wall.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

A bunch of 10 packs of Pokemon cards that I bought for mac are fakes. I am contacting the BBB, but I doubt anything will come of it, it is a neighborhood 99 cent store. I should see if I have my receipt though and see if they will refund my $$ for the unopened ones.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Allyson, I noticed in Librarything that 80 members had a copy of your book. Can't all be Buffistas...

Aw, this makes me want to get married.
A marriage is more than two people. It is also the trusty crew that surrounds them and helps them. [person 1] and [person 2]’s marriage will be blessed by your support. All who would provide that support, say “Arr!”

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

Andrew Sullivan (a big Obama supporter) often posts readers' accounts of views of Obama from other countries... here are some good ones:
I was in Europe the past two weeks and it was absolutely stunning. Everywhere I went, people wanted to speak to me about Obama. An old woman sweeping the street in Lisbon stopped me when she heard me speaking English and said: "American? Obama?" I could only shake my head and smile since I don't speak Portuguese. The doorman in Frankfurt, the waiter in Munich and the hotel receptionist in The Netherlands all bent my ear for about 10-15 minutes about how they are so looking forward to having Obama as President. Notice that they didn't say "your President" or "the American President" - it was simply "President". Everyone feels like they have a stake in this election. I hope the American public understands just how important it is that we get this one right.
Finally, at a medical conference a doctor from Angola came up to me with tears in his eyes and implored for me to vote for Obama. I told him that I was an Obama supporter and he thank me over and over. As he left, he said to me "Only in America. Only in America."
...
I live in the north of Paris and each weekend I go to the local flea market, the biggest in Europe. This time my girlfriend was with me and we were amused to see that Obama T-Shirts were on sale. I remarked to her that he must be really doing well in the States if the marketing had made it here already.... Then we saw a young black kid wearing an Obama T... then another. Then a woman who was fifty if she was a day. Then, passing the thudding bass of the local hip-hop stand a group of rough-looking guys, Arabs and blacks speaking about... Obama!

Punishingly Intricate
I look forward to the day when my nephews and honorary nieces and nephews look at me incredulously when I say that I was in my 30s when same sex marriage was legalized (because I'm OLD and that's just stupid it took that long!) And I really hope this one is the final hurrah and it becomes standard from now on.
I sincerely hope for this as well.
Today is my anniversary at this job and I'm being taken out to lunch of my choice. I have no idea where to go though!
