It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG. Our network/email/internet has been for crap on and off all day. Could it be back for real???

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

Heh. Well, those are cheaper than the Love Toilet.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm at work today. I'm out of use-or-lose for this year, and I don't want to cut into the cushion any more than I already have. If I had the leave time, I'd probably have arranged to take the day off without comment.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I just got back from a week-long vacation and had to take a personal day for a funeral the week before that, so felt it was perhaps wise not to miss a status meeting by calling in gay.

City schools are closing for the inauguration.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Much like the Segway, I just want to try one of these. [link]

sara, woot! That'll make it easier to get permission to take T, won't it? K thought about asking if she could crash with you if she decided to join folks going to the inauguration. Of course it would mean 1. finding a flight and 2. getting Noah either a sitter or a place to stay.
