I would like to point out that at this juncture I hate everyone and everything and no, my doctor hasn't refilled my painkiller prescription, and why does the consultant have to be in the office today consulting on the bit of the project I care about? Also, why does this week already have to be a short week and I have no sick time?
Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Yeah, but I'm not sure he meets reasonable expectations.
I think part of the problem with Obama is that he has been assumed to be a lot more progressive than he really is. There's plenty I'm not happy with, but he ran as a Clinton style democrat, not as strong progressive. The right making him out to be the love child of Carl Marx and Hugo Chavez doesn't help, of course, they pretty much did that with Clinton too.

My wife e-mailed me the story about the SCOTUS decision today, now she's asking me my feelings about New Zealand. I've seen pictures, it looks nice.

New Zealand is awesome! OK, I've never been, but my cousin moved there and became a citizen. She loves it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
What flight are you on, Jess? I'm on the noon flight tomorrow.

Interview: Nathan Fillion Talks Firefly, Dr. Horrible, and Why Kids Need to Read
I can't listen to the interview, seeing as how I'm at work, but I love that fact that he's a big reading geek.
(Also, it wasn't until Dr. Horrible that I finally started liking him. Something about being willing to be a dork and sing even though he's not the world's best singer. [Although that didn't work on me for Felicia Day. She still makes me go MEH.])

My grandparents went on a tour there and the pictures are really nice. I digitized them awhile ago. I think my wife was kidding, but I'm not entirely sure.

That's the place to go if freaked out about the political climate- everywhere else is similarly screwed up. NZ is still small enough to not be fully entrenched in corruption and horribleness.

That's my flight! How are you getting to the airport? I have no money right now so I was going to LIRR it to the Airtrain.

I sure hope some good stuff starts happening soon, I'm sorry.
