Oh, god, now larger than life guy is talking about eating a six pound burrito. Why?
I just don't want to know what was in it.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Flight delay!
So I dilly dallyed around, and then got in line for security. It was huge! But I happened to know, (since I'd been directed there for power outlets, thank you terminal maps) that the security line on the other side was minimal. So I hoofed it down there, knowing that I'd have to walk all the way around to my gate, but I had plenty of time.
Found the gate, went looking for more power outlets, and decided to buy Starbucks before I sat down. Whereupon I discovered that my gate had changed to the other end. So then I walked all the way back to where I'd started, but this time with coffee in my hand.
Then on arrival, I discovered that the flight is having mechanical problems in Puerto Vallerta and it's going to take a couple of hours more than planned. Which puts my rental car in question, so we'll see what happens with that.
Anyway, life could be much worse. I did in fact find another outlet and I have my soy pumpkin latte.

Or who...

I am disproportionately irritated at people who complain about Zarmina. Would they prefer it be named Cathy? WTF?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Is it Zahr-MEEN-uh? Once I heard it pronounced, I think I'd be fine.

I had to google Zarmina, but now I am prepared to be irritated. What complaints do people make?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I went to buy 50% off Halloween things, but everything I chose was not 50% off. GRRR.
Now I am changed for the mac school event. I delivered the round brownies that I am sure will get labeled cupcakes, whatev.
I sent off a nastygram to my mortgage company asking why if the closing was last week and I already have my pay out are they still showing my mortgage as in effect and will a balance. DOES NOT! mark that paid. Maybe I will call them now and discuss it with them in terms of getting a HELoC on the TX house since I cannot get a cash-out mortgage on it.

I've read a lot of people complaining that it's a stupid weird name. It's a planet, people. Named after a woman. It's not like there's a huge amount of precedent.
Oh, god! I didn't make my phone call! I suck.

Still. How is it pronounced?

Huh. People are weird. It's not like he stuck a bunch of apostrophes in it or took all the vowels out.
Eta: I'm hearing it the way you speculated, Daisy. In my head, because I've only seen it in print, but I'll go with that until told differently.
