Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

There's no reason to wear a watch any more, what will cell phones and all, but I can't stop.

If you wear a watch, it takes one second to check the time, whereas if you use your phone, you have to find it/dig it out of your pocket, open it/turn it on, etc.

Because books.

It totally has to match, because matchy matchy vital importance with all colours (you understand I'm concerned with whether or not I clash with my car, right? Today I do, since I'm wearing bright red).

Uh, Jesse, you want to take this one?

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

I think once or twice I've done that - where I picked what car to drive to work based on what I was wearing....

If I had more than one car, I'd totally do that.

I picked my first car colour because it didn't truly clash with anything (it was a navy so dark it looked black at first blush). I picked burgundy the second time round because it was my favourite colour (grey's not really a colour) and was more interesting than red.

Not because it's a neutral, because that's a lie you're all ganging up on me and telling.

Uh, other PM? CALL ME.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

my silver car goes with everything.

so I did a lot of stuff yesterday, but none of it was work. So I really should do work today, since they only pay me when I work., and yet...

I went to Target (less than $100), washed all the dishes in my sinks (it has started to get smelly), emptied the dishwasher, and responded to urgent emails (this I did for work too). That really should be enough.

I want to weed my yard and take a box full of stuff to goodwill and get out some fall clothes and watch some tv and knit and and and.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And howinhell can burgundy be a neutral? Now you're just making stuff up.

What does it NOT go with? And you're talking about leather, right? That double goes with anything.

This is not like when I had a pink coat.

Because books.

I want to buy ita a multi-colored print coat and watch her head explode.

Why are so many dresses on ModCloth really ambitious sweaters, lengthwise?

I want a bright yellow car. Instead of "whatever color the mostly reliable car is that I can afford to get when the old car dies".

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My fave color for cars is still black. But I would maybe like an old pink car, if it's the right car. (This '55 pink Lincoln is pretty: [link] )

Having gone to a rock concert last night, I can confirm that it's what the kids are wearing.
