I'm posting this without actually seeing it, because not only do I have dialup, but I also don't have any speakers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay. Zappoed a pair of low-heeled brown pumps. I should be all up with interview wear. Why are my suit and my dress and coat various shades of brown?
Please let them fit pretty.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That Sesame Street clip is hilarious, but kind of wrong at the same time.

I got email from my dad this morning! From Korea! He said the food on the flight (Korean Air) was good. He was waiting to board his flight on Miat Mongolian to fly to Ulaan Batar. He even got a Korean passport stamp (he had to exit customs to get his luggage to transfer it to the other airline.) And Seoul's airport offers free internet (he didn't take his computer with, so I guess they offer terminals?)
He's expecting to find an internet cafe in U.B. or Ulaangom. Other than that, he's out of range, as cell service out of most of the Mongolia he'll be in is unreliable.
Man, what a world. My dad can email me from MONGOLIA. He's IN Mongolia, right now.

ahahaha!

Also? The whole self-adjusting brightness on the new computer freaked me out until I realized what was going on.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
On Sunday, my family and I were comparing regional natural disasters, with my brother contending that California is made up of nothing but potential catastrophes, but my stepmom saying it'd be worth it if she could live there (my stepsister lives near LA). We get tornadoes here in the Midwest, and my brother gets the occasional hurricane out in New Jersey, but as he pointed out, if you don't live on the coast, you're pretty much safe.
Outsider's perspective: something that struck me about the difference between the US and Australia is that in Australia, the weather almost never headlines the news. In Philly I had encounters with heat waves (fully half the days of summer over 92F), ice storms (stuck in Charlotte), the tail end of a hurricane (stuck in Cincy), storm flooding (stuck at 30th Street Station) and a tornado passing right over my apartment. (It went on to destroy a garden that was about to appear on an episode of Trading Spaces.) I figure all I missed were earthquake, tidal wave and rain of frogs. I'm still bitter about that last one.
Has Godzilla or any other monster ever attacked a city in the Midwest?
Yes, if you're doing it right: [link]
