There seem to be a bunch of indie bookstores around here, but it's a college town. Maybe they're used bookstores; I haven't been into all of them. My god, who have I become.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

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

Huh. I guess maybe just WBBM doesn't.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My (and Plei's) Alma Mater may have the nation's worst school song:
No, that song is awesome!
I'm with tommy.
ita, it's supposed to be bullshit. By their very nature, self-evals are bullshit.

The Edens time is usually Lake Cook to the junction; the Kennedy is usually O'Hare to the interchange (where all the highways meet downtown), so you're right, brenda, that Hubbard Cave isn't the end location in a traffic report, but they do tend to mention it when someone invariably breaks down in the middle of the Cave and slows traffic to a halt. The Eisenhower is Mannheim to the post office, and the Dan Ryan is I-80 to downtown.

Since there are not multiple daily lightning strikes within corporate offices, I think you're safe.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Interesting the B&N is closing here, but the Borders is staying open. But the B&N hers is dark and has no depth

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You guys, I totally took off from work early for no reason. No reason other than I have no boss, and wasn't going to get any more work done! Woo hoooo. Now I have extra time to sit here on my ass and work on cleaning the DVR.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Seriously, you go shopping and don't know what STORE you drove youself to and walked into?
I've done that plenty. Especially trying to run multiple errands to multiple places in one day. But also just plain being that absent-minded.
Based on the number of people here who have said they do that, my conclusion is that I'm an asshole about things like that. But I already knew that.

Can I just say, this guy I'm dating is not only now obsessed with Buffy and Angel (which he discovered unconnected to me), he also sends in stuff for the Good Stuff blog. Aw! He's a keeper, aside from the significant ways in which he emphatically is not.
