Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Coding and Sleeping

I found out that Leif has a kindergarten girl crushing on him. So cute. The girl's older sister is the bus monitor and keeps trying to get Leif to sit with her on the bus.

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

I name-dropped Colin the other day at work. I was feeling shamefully dirty, but the guy I did it to just waved at me in the hallway. He's never waved at me before. Am I a cool kid now? Am I riding the Ferg's coattails? Fuck him.

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

When I was in first grade, I had three girlfriends at the same time. Or at least in my mind I did.

It's all been downhill since then....

Because books.

That house is incredible, DJ. So spare and clean.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hey, Hec, have you been to Mission: Comics and Art? Wait, I think I took you there. The owner reminds me of you. He has a similar look and voice; it was throwing me tonight.

Middle aged disshevled is a look?

I do remember that store. It's cool.

I've heard a rumor that Comic Relief in Berkeley might be in bad financial shape. (Literally, overhead two guys talking at Booksmith in the Haight. So I can't source that rumor, but one of them sounded like he had inside knowledge.)

That would be a huge blow as it's one of the best comic shops in the country.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

ita's post confused me for a second, because I keep thinking this is Saturday, not Friday, since it's not a work day for me.

Now that I remember that it is Friday, what are people doing this weekend?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

It's hard to know what to say about Chi-fil-A. There's no question the company is overtly Christian, but Truett Cathy was an old-school "even as ye have done to the least of these" Christian. It's one of the best corporate citizens around. It's funded $25 million plus in scholarships, mostly to its young employees, plus millions for homes for foster children. It really will supply food to most non-profit organizations that ask.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

what are people doing this weekend?

Taking Emmett to Krav on Saturday and Sunday. Then I've got to finish up writing assignments on Jack Kirby, my Bubblegum entry into the Pop Encyclopedia and a piece on underground filmmaker Kenneth Anger.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

I was going to lounge around doing nothing, but since I'm on my third straight day of doing that already, I may have to actually do something. Huh. I wonder what?
