No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

OMG, my sister just called to tell me she now not coming tomorrow. I always think I am flaky about committing to plans, but she takes the cake!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That's probably better than a $50 bottle of Tequila.

No it's not. Good tequila is good.

So I had a fun visit with meara, a good swim and I mostly have my work computer working from home. My VPN won't fire up and I'm sure it is a configuration issue (it worked at work from the visitor network!) but now I guess it doesn't like my wireless configs or something.

But I have workarounds (ssh) that are passable, if imperfect and slower. Also, I've used up all the outlets in the livingroom.

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

But I have workarounds (ssh)

I won't tell them.

I mentioned my sister was beating my ass at Scrabble? Now she's beating it worse. I suck.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just called out a Northwestern J-school senior over a factual error in an article. I hope he is properly ashamed since the first link on a simple google search would have prevented the error.

eta: And I already have a response!

My goodness, you're absolutely correct. We'll fix this!

Oh god, the forecast has gone from 16-20 to 18-24". And it's coming in earlier. Maybe if it is faster it'll leave sooner?
