FCM: Rachel Bilson
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Our wings are not tired.
Motorcycle helmets aren't required in Florida. It freaks me out on I-95 when they fly by me. Eeep! My office is next to a motorcycle shop and the owner there does wear his. If he didn't I would yell at him because I like him and would have to go mommy on him.

It's that super-libertarian stance, right? Thinks people should be allowed to be unsafe.
yep. My friend's husband is like that. He's a US Marshal and refuses to wear a seatbelt. Whatever dude. If you survive getting thrown out of the car, I'm totally making you pay for the windshield.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks for drawing to my attention that I had duplicate Rachel McAdams pictures! Now remedied.
C Rachel Bilson. I don't mind my boys young, but I think if I were to love the ladies, I wouldn't be cradle robbing Bilson. F McAdams, and M Weisz.

I don't know any of the Rachel's, but on looks alone. Who knew I could instantly have such opinions on women?

Yes, still bitter about the casting for Time Traveler's Wife, why do you ask?
And yes, still have a few shreds of nostalgia for Summer Roberts on The OC.

Okay, this is kind of money:
Swedish Bank Robbers Pull Off Daring Heist
In a scene that could have been lifted from a James Bond flick, a gang of heavily armed thieves used explosives and a stolen helicopter to pull off a spectacular multimillion-dollar heist in Sweden.
About 15 minutes later, they were back on the roof with bags of money and made a quick getaway in the waiting chopper.
Police had tried to stop the robbers - but were foiled before the drama even started.
The crooks had left spikes on the roads near the bank to puncture cops' tires and planted explosives at the police heliport to prevent them from taking off.
AWESOME.

Do what you want in your own car dude, but I'm not letting you get thrown around and hurt me. Yes, I have said that to belt objectors in my car.

Did you see it? Do you not like McAdams? I've liked her in what I've seen her in. Who would you rather have playing the role? What did you think of Bana's casting?
Okay, no more questions. I should eat something. I haven't eaten yet today.

I don't think they're corralative. Salary really depends on industry, years of experience, education level, the type of company (non-profit, small corporate, large corporate), benefits included, bonus and/or commission potential.
Yes, except my particular job does have certain skill set requirements (even compared to other people with this job title at this company) that makes our pay somewhat laughable, especially given the location. If I'm a valued employee, I think they should feel concerned if almost any other corporate job I took in this area would beat my current salary.
I mean, I started on the higher end of the scale and it would take me 10 years of 5% raises to reach median income. Interns at my former housemate's company make my salary.
Certain aspects of the job used to make the trade-off worth it, but those aspects don't really exist anymore.
