Hey Scola, and other NYers. It's looking like I might be in NY for a couple of days next week. I'd love to get together for drinks or dinner or something.
We'll be in our bunk.

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

Coming in Wednesday and hopefully there through some of the weekend, but that's still being worked out.

Twisted my knee repeatedly at work, felt a slight burning sensation that I hope to god wasn't tearing. Can I finish up this migraine thingy before I need a second knee surgery, pretty please?

Picked up Eve crying with an earache at afterschool at 4:45, gave her Motrin and she cried until it kicked in at about 5:30, said she felt like she was going to throw up, and promptly fell sound asleep on the floor.
Poor kid, and her birthday is tomorrow.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh noes flea! Poor Casper. That's not an auspicious start to her birthday. I hope she feels better tomorrow.
it was suggested that the Rapture will be preceeded by a 5-minute "intercom" warning, allowing you to safely park your car (or land the plane you're piloting, or what have you) BEFORE being bodily whisked off this mortal sphere.
Like in the movie "The Rapture"?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Non-sequiturly, current pet peeve=saying "Yes" when someone asks "Do you mind?" and you don't, in fact, mind. If you don't mind, the answer is "No." Why do TV writers continually ignore it? Are people really talking this way? Can we shoot them?

My father is exactly the sort of guy who says things like that. And yes, I have been frequently tempted to shoot him. It's like he never grew out of being a smart-ass 14 year old.

Anyone want a cute bear-robot to pick them up and carry them around?
I'm too heavy. Ironic, considering that I'm a bear. But STILL.
