No. Does it have Zeppelins?
Yes! There was this one huge Zeppelin with big guns, and fighters it could launch. But it only exists in a virtual world.
(The Zeppelin had nothing to do with any plot point.)
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

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

You can see the Zeppelin for a second or two, at about 42 seconds into this: [link]

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I believe we've see far-off zeppelin-like objects in the real Caprican world, too.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Just watched a really fabulous thing on the Sundance channel about the business end of the red carpet. It started out all gauzy and E! like and then they totally drilled down into how much of a big business it is. Like how some actresses are paid a quarter of a million dollars to wear a dress at the Oscars. And how Scarlett Johannsen's stardom was created by contracts with fashion houses, which at the same time is maintaining Sharon Stone, who doesn't actually act. And how Nicole Kidman made $12m for a commercial for Chanel! It's this whole completely cynical thing to sell perfume, it's amazing. Anyway, I recommend it, it's called "The Red Carpet Issue."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Came home early (migraine crisis). Found a pay-up-or-else notice on my apartment door. Turns out my new apartment manager is the sort of guy who'll put up that notice on a Monday but not have checked his drop box since the Friday before. Great.
At least he apologised and said he'd tell them I dropped the check off only 4 days late.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, that sounds good, bon.
And that sounds annoying, ita.

OMFG. "I wasn't sure what the question from an outside org was referring to, so I asked additional people inside our org. In a way that made it seem like I was passive-aggressively asking them to do my job, rather than trying to clarify what the question meant." HEY. Here's a magical idea: How about if someone ASKS THE OUTSIDE ORG.
I mean, seriously.
