You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Eydie! Of course.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I haven't done a mail merge in Word in six years. It took me almost an hour to do one page of labels.

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

Steve and Eydie is someone else's culture. I had to wiki it, and it still means nothing to me.

For some reason I decided that TiVos are boys. All my other electronics are shes (the computers and the Apple TV and the printer are Zoe, Cass, Blaise, Lilith, and River) or gender neutral (my phones are TARDIS and Shard). I got nothing when it comes to boy names.

Because books.

I'd suggest Mal, but that seems like asking for trouble.

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

Hivemind question: Joe is convinced that tonight's dinner (really yummy chicken posole) must cool before it goes in the fridge. I think I've heard this before, but it makes no sense to me. Either way it cools; why would the rate of cooling matter?

As I understand it, BITD when an Ice Box was a big box with a chunk of ice you let the food cool before you put it away. This became unnecessary once the things were plugged in, but everyone kept doing it because their parents did it.

I gotsa Devi curled up with me. Loki decided not to be an asshole to her tonight and is curled up upstairs. So she's occasionally snuggling with me. I'd missed my bitchkitty in the evening.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Watching Fox News hurts my brain. Apparently Obama's health care plan will mean that patient care will no longer be decided by the patient's doctor, most doctors are OUTRAGED at the plan, Obama's staff can't use Google, all you have to do to treat uninsured patients is make them pay a doctor $79 a month for unlimited check-ups, and one woman owes her life to the current health care plan.

My grandmother was watching Fox News when she had the stroke she never recovered from. I don't entirely think that that's a coincidence.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I recognize that that's probably unfair, but the thought remains. I come over a little Inigo Montoya sometimes...
