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.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
What flight are you on, Jess? I'm on the noon flight tomorrow.
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.

Also, why does this week already have to be a short week and I have no sick time?
I sure hope some good stuff starts happening soon, I'm sorry.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
NZ really hates letting people in. It's supposed to be one of the hardest places to emigrate to.
Nathan Fillion had my adoration from way back (uh, Two Guys, A Girl, And A Pizza Place), but his continued geekery and love of fandom and the Whedonverse really put him over the top.

Thanks, Gud.
Now off to the meeting I have no brain cells for.

No uh! I loved that show. I caught it in reruns during grad school. On, uh, WE.

This is true. However, if you have an actual job offer then they will make it happen. My DH and I had enough points to emigrate without the job offer, but when I had one in hand the embassy person was prepared to break all the rules.

I don't know about the she-devil part, but she definitely has the white part covered.

Which is what makes it awesome! However, Tom and I suspect they would turn us away for our large and in charge BMIs. But we have family there and have advanced degrees, which are 2 things off the top of my head they like. Also, I think Tom has the industry qualification.
I guess since they let my cousin in, I never thought of it as particularly hard to get in to...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
How are you getting to the airport?
I'm near the A train, so I just usually take it to Howard Beach. Except when I get lazy, and wave down a cab before I make it to the subway station.
