I had carrots and strawberries with my lunch. I feel like a paragon of virtue.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bah. UK musical instrument place wouldn't take my debit card. (They said, "Cannot Verify your Credit Card.") I'll have to try a credit card later.
There are a number of places (Amtrak, iTunes, some gas stations) that won't take my debit card - they tell me I've entered an incorrect billing address zip code, even though it's correct. When I've called in the past, Amtrak told me it was my bank's fault, and my bank said they were reporting my correct zip code so it was Amtrak's fault. I've had to use credit cards for these places.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's not so much the airport itself as it's location in relation to where I want to end up
LAX to your hotel is not 30 minutes. I don't know where you're staying, but I can assure you of that. Nowhere is actually 10 minutes from the Burbank airport and just 30 minutes from LAX. Not in any naturally occurring traffic patterns outside of 3am. And even then, you might get dinged for speeding.
The area where the 10 hits the 405 is a mess. Luckily it's about where I get off the freeway, so I don't have to spend too much time in it, ever.
it's going to be a lot harder
Their menu is just so simple and tempting...it was worth the long line I stood in yesterday. But their portions are way too large. I think I'm sticking to bowls from now on. They're at least 1.5 servings for me, if not 2.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The Safari, where the LA F2F was. Google Maps estimates 32 minutes, but its possible they were assuming I was Jack Bauer.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I had Chipotle leftovers for lunch. Barracoa bowl.
We ordered in from Chipotle today! And I had a vegetarian burrito bowl. It was the first time I've had a bowl, and I feel there was too much lettuce and not enough rice. That said, their guacamole always makes me happy.

Definitely! I live half the distance away and I can't guarantee I can get home in half an hour. And you gotta go on the 101, which can make the 405 look like the Autobahn. Nah, it's about 30 miles--how are you supposed to observe the speed limit and still drive on surface streets and make it in 32 minutes if there are a) other cars b) traffic lights?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The Lovely Bones, really? Huh. I liked it well enough. That's an odd list.
