Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I so want to go home at lunch.

And you should.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

The thing I find confusing about hipsters is that they sort of look like my friends and I (who were very uncool) in the eighties. So I meet them and think they are going to be nice geeky people and then I realize that they are not. They did seem to bring back fitted pants for men, so I will give them that.

I also feel about chicken how tommy feel about cows.

I was once chased by a herd of cows, on a hill, in the woods, in Sicily. Cows are terrifying at speed, let me say.

I have never been chased by a herd of hispters, but I suppose if I could figure out the right thing to shout in a rock club or the local vegetarian restaurant I might be some day; this town has 'em in spades.

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

On the upside, it's Hump Day and Leverage and Psych night. If I can survive that long.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Go into a vegan restaurant and accuse someone of being a welfarist. Sparks will fly. It could be fun!

I am such a bad person that I am amused imagining the look on your face as you ran in mortal terror from Sicilian cows.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oh well, better to abandon this whole "moral code" thing rather that risk feeling guilty about eating bacon

I can totally get behind this.

My face did not betray my terror. I am from New England; we are cool under pressure.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

To myself, I define a hipster as someone who has no other aim than to be cool but won't admit it.

The DH left today for a week-long motorcycle trip around Texas. It's his first long solo trip and I going to work hard on not being worried about him all week.

Monstrous extinct animals. Some of which I knew about, but that shark and that "centipede" are the stuff of nightmares. No one tell Syfy.
