Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

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

In the end I don't mind who my parents made me. Tough shit if they want to switch it up and be more conventional now, though. That ship done sailed.

Good god, I hate timesheets. And I really hate retroactive timesheets. And I can't remember what Friday it was I worked half a day, dammit. My record keeping sucks.

I'm sorry about your mother's crazy, Sox.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ergh, Sox.

I can't remember anything. I just go through my e-mails for each day hoping they provide a clue as to what projects I worked on (we have to bill our hours to specific projects).

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Dare I to ask just what George Will did recently? (Probably not starting to wear an ascot, though I could hope.)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Sorry you have to deal with Crazy Sox and Vortex. I have an uncle headed that way.

George Will wrote an article about trains being a tool to beat the rugged car individualists down into accepting collectivism. (He doesn't mention airlines which will probably have us in a more or less "bring on the Borg" state of mind in the next few years if things keep going the way they are).

Yeah, sorry about your mother's crazy too Vortex.

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

I think George Will was specifically talking about high-speed trains. 'Cuz those would compete more against flying than driving.

My parents sometimes freak out about us kids, or act like they had a hard time with us, and I remind them that we all graduated college and are supporting ourselves, no one got arrested or has a drug habit...what more do they want??

Always Anti-fascist!

Every time I read George Will I decide you can too be too rich. Because people who have flown recently have plenty of f-words for the airlines, but not one is "Free," Honest.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Yes, he was, which makes it doubly bizarre, but just the waxing poetic about car culture is very @@.

I mean, I usually take the train to work. Sometimes Jon drives me. Neither are a big deal, except that on the train or bus, I can read or watch tv or talk to you people. I like that.

I'm not going on and on about riding the rails much as our hobo ancestors must have.
