Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

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

FYI, our IT folks just issued an alert that there's some nasty virus going around masquerading as breaking news alerts from CNN and MSNBC, with varying headline - if you get one of these, might be best to not click the link.

Yeah, I got a bunch of those in my spam box. Then I read about it. That never happens (that I get the virus before hearing about it).

I've seen that, it was suspicious that there were about a hundred in my inbox.

Yeah. They make it look like alerts from CNN or MSNBC. I knew I hadn't subscribed to any....

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

brenda!

I thought you were growing your hair?

The thrill wore off quickly. Requires maintenance this way. Did I mention tired? And I have physical therapy this afternoon, which means no running home and hiding.

I don't know if I cam blame the dog turds, but when's the last time one did anything nice for me?

I got [what I believe to be] an actual one right before I got this memo, which was weird.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I've seen a gazillion of those alerts over the past few days. I delete them - when you have a series of them, all purporting to be from the same place with the same "urgent" subject line, does your mind go to "ooh! must read now!" or "yeah, spam, delete and find a REAL message".

As to hair ... I pay a lot. Color and cut at a fancy-schmancy salon. But it's good color and a really great cut. In between, I don't have to do much with my hair, so I don't mind too much (once the initial shock wore off).

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I got highlights and a cut yesterday for $100. You were totally spoiled.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I've gotten a TON of those in just the past 2 weeks! I delete them all, because, like everyone else, I hadn't subscribed to any.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

My last haircut cost me $18 Canadian. (A friend was cutting hair at a con in Toronto, with the proceeds going to a fund for filkers)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I need a hair cut, too. I liked it when I got it cut 2 months ago, but it quickly turned super boring.
