I'm okay with you ruining the magic if it means I won't have to answer trivia questions when I'm late for work or trying to get home from the airport, yo.
You can be pretty certain that will never happen.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jesse, ruining the magic on Valentine's Day. My god.

Haters gotta hate.
Yo.

I am neither a hater nor a magic-ruiner! I am a mind-easer! Just ask shrift.
Hmph.
Whatever, I'm going to keep listening to my NPR slow jams. (Currently playing? "I'm Going Down" by Mary J Blige.)

Because books.
I am a mind-easer!

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

Is that a special sub-genre? I'm imagining Nina Tottenberg doing a slow grind now.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
God people have the stupids today. I'm asked when something will go live, so I respond with an, I think, very specific answer of 2/15 at 3am.
The email back to me is, "2/15 really means tonight, right?"
Dude, if that's the value of 3am for you, sure. Otherwise it's very early Tuesday morning, like 3am early.

WHY does the video driver on my work laptop periodically crap out and go to 16 colours and 640x480? No one should have to live that way.

I am not a mind-ERASER.
And here are the NPR Valentine's Slow Jams: [link] The mix is pretty much made for me. Which is only a problem because I'm looking at the list and trying to figure out when I can go to the bathroom -- after "I need love," but before "If I Was Your Girlfriend," I guess.
