ION, this is the first time since 1906 that the Cubs and White Sox both made it into the postseason.
Back then, the "postseason" was just the World Series, right? (That is, if they didn't need a tiebreaker for the pennant.)
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
End Times, man. End Times.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yep. The leagues weren't split into East and West divisions until 1969.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The outside of my work building isn't clogged thick with tourists. It's like a breath of fresh air! I can get to point A to point B without acting like a linebacker!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That doesn't make any sense!
ION, I was thinking this morning how much TV news b-roll I've probably become a part of this week.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Shir, you made me go and look at my flickr account again, and I noticed that someone had requested I add a picture of my father to the Vintage Jamaica group--so thanks for the bout of nostalgia.
And then I re-stumbled upon this bathing beauty, also known as my mother. I don't think I have the one of her flashing her six pack. Must continue browsing.

Wow, ita. Your mom is stunning!
