Our wings are not tired.

The last couple days or so the spam has included a large number of fake headline emails. I appreciate the effort to amuse me prior to deleting. Haven't seen past the subject so I don't know if they are selling drugs or mortgages.

Ninja attack in New York Times Square
Democrats withdraw Obama from race
Angelina Jolie gives birth to triplets
Britney in coma, feared dead
Earthquake in California destroys Schwarzenegger home
Facebook sued by user for millions
Nicole Kidman loses baby in miscarriage
Pope killed by assassin in Vatican City
School teacher wanted for murder

And those are just today.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

hang out with theatre people for a while. It's not uncommon. especially if you're in the middle of a musical.

Hey! My life resembles that remark.

has flashback to college parties, wherein there would be "Miss Saigon"/"Phantom of the Opera"/"Rent" medley extravaganzas

Ha! Remember the clip of the HIMYM cast on....some daytime talk show? When the cast members were talking about how NPH and Jason Segal would randomly start singing the Jean Valjean/Javert "Confrontation" from Les Mis? And so then NPH and Jason Segal just started singing it right then, on the talk show?

That sums up my high school years entirely too well. Because we did that shit all. the. time. Actually, that specific song.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

People who need to explain themselves:

  • Ones who come to a stop >1 car length behind the car in front of them at the light, whether or not they spend the duration of the red inching forwards.
  • People with a lot of baggage that squeeze you out of the back corner of the up elevator even though they're getting out at 3 and no one's pressed 2.
  • Groups of people who line themselves across the door and then press 11 when 6 is the next highest floor pressed. And seem surprised when the elevator stops.

People that amuse me:

  • The woman taking the elevator's Jimmy Kimmel/Sarah Silverman breakup news very seriously--up to and including being very startled by the closing sentence: "It is not known if Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are involved."
  • The English co-worker who has now taken to expressing displeasure using the word bother.
  • The co-worker who told me to get the English co-worker's attention with a reacharound. Bother indeed.

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