Jesse, did you like the outlet?
It was definitely small and random, but I got one great deal, and that was plenty! I'd go back if I were driving by again.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have a hard time thinking of Casablanca (and Alexandria) as real places.
I was in Alexandria! It was, um, crowded. And we ate fish. There was a Mediterranean. And a street where they sold car quarters. Oh, and the new Library! Which has a total crap bookshop.
Did you know Brooke Shields was in Brigadoon in high school? Think that's a pointless factoid? I only know that because it was in a Paul Reiser routine I saw about ten years ago. The bit was about how, when you get speed dial, those new free spaces in your memory get taken up by the next bit of information to come along, and the Brooke Shields thing took the place of what used to be his parents' phone number.
Now THAT'S a pointless use of memory pointers. Dammit, brain, this is why we can't understand physics! Because of all these fifteen-year-old standup routines!

But did you go to the library, Emily? I would've had to.

Yes! But, as I say, crap giftshop. Extremely irritating, because I would have spent LOADS of money.
There was a guided tour, and it was very cool. They've got an intricate system for letting in natural light while preventing any glare.

Oh, duh. I miss things too much when I'm on the crackberry.

We were talking about names and origins in a graduate class, and I said my great-grandparents were from the kingdom of Bohemia. A woman gave a little gasp and said, "That's a real place? I thought Arthur Conan Doyle made it up."
Wow, I can understand not being aware that what used to be Bohemia is now part of the Czech Republic. But did she think that the adjective Bohemian originated with Doyle too?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The toaster just launched my piece of bread into the air and onto the floor.

Your toaster has had too much coffee.

I didn't hear it say "ptui" or anything.
