Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

Always glad to see someone pick up the Spooks crackpipe.

Hmm. Re-looking at the Verizon plan, maybe I can do it for cheaper. Maybe I can do Droid. Hmmmm. They say all sorts of marvellous things about it, but mostly I'm all "Keyboard! Yay!" Eh. They'll take my money regardless. Given their assy anti-droid ad campaign. I'll need to stop by a Verizon store and look.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It is stuff like this that makes me want to make a website devoted to refuting things that assholes like this say WITH the sayings of Jesus Christ.

I'm a damned infidel, and I would happily help put this together.

we are doomed

Yeah.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

One of my friends has a droid and it is the first phone I've fallen for

What was the most fun thing you did this weekend?

my weekend started on thursday with the beginning of the drive down to LA . I like long drives with my DH. Then we saw snow in the grapvine and picked up smonster on friday. Saturday was brunch with buffistas, PIXDESSIGN wedding party. Sunday breakfast with buffistas, more hangage with t=buffistas, seeing other friend at griffithpark,lunch/dinner at pinks, more dinner with buffistas, and more hangage with buffistas. Then today we had a good drive home and got scolded by our kitty . Tomorrow, DH has an interview.

You want me to choose?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Plei, you have created a a monster. I hope you're happy.

I'm so proud! I saw the new Milani holos today, yet stuck to my no-buy!

Seven is awesome, so clearly SEVEN MUST ALWAYS BE AN OPTION.

Okay, so really, I just wanted to do/be his companion.

Saw the Alice OPI collection today. They even had a set of mini bottles. But I'm also trying to be on a no-buy through March (at least). Guh. Not easy.

The droid phones are my second choice....Sigh. I need a new phone. But not for a bit still.

Randomly, we had a t-shirt failure this weekend and I had to scramble to get my Academic Decathlon kids shirts for next weekend's competition. So I made an entire cafepress store including the world's best design on a Sigg bottle: [link]

I want the Green from the OPI Hong Kong collection. Has anyone seen it IRL?

Kat, I haven't seen it yet, alas. I'll keep an eye out for good swatches.

I did violate my no-buy earlier in the month for Absolutely Alice, because I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find her again at the end of the month. I'm wearing her right now, AIFG.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

LALALALALALALA I can't hear any of you people.

Signed,

on a VERY LONG no buy.

I am currently giving mad props to my boss-- I used to have an aircard, and when I transferred to his division almost a year ago, I was grandfathered in getting to keep it. But when they gave me a new laptop without a slot that would hold the thing, they said "sucks, keep billing us". Which, WTF. So, he helped me stop that (and was surprised I had to do expense reports for it, since most people who get them it just goes to the company). I was sad to lose it, but in this branch you don't get them. Sigh.

Today I got an email--he worked a way to get me a USB one from someone who left, and I won't have to expense it, it gets billed to the company! Woot! Go boss!

(I emailed and said "you rock!" and he said don't tell everyone!")
