I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Nicole, we should Do Lunch! Or something similar!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

David! What's your opinion on Sandy Alderson?

I have no costume for me. CJ is wearing his Raider's gear to the Dojo Halloween party tomorrow night. He wants to go Trick or Treating on Sunday but he would need to find some friends to go with as I don't want him out alone and I don't want to chaparone.

My girl has been sick all week, though she is feeling better today. She asked about flying home next weekend for a quick visit. Nice to feel needed as a Mommy.

I have been off all week due to a headache that hasn't progressed into migraine level, but has been bad enough that I've worked from home the majority of the week. I feel like a hermit.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Why is today sucking so much?

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

Wow, Liese. That's cool. I just made a cute guy move seats so I could snag another outlet, but he moved a million seats over. I have girl cooties.

I'm startled and appalled at the Lush stuff. It doesn't fucking matter what accent any of your employees have or what typos you make. How does that get across so many desks and no one say oops, maybe this looks dodgy?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I am Mary Poppins, which is what I could throw together at 7:30 this morning. It looks all right, but I wish I'd thought of it in time to put together a proper-sized carpet bag containing a measuring tape, a brown glass medicine bottle and a compact filled with black powder. And I'm sorely feeling the lack of a parrot head on my umbrella handle. But, anyhow, it was good enough to get me a $2 discount coupon for lunch at the campus taqueria. I'm not quite sure how to stay in Poppins character while eating a burrito, but I shall make the endeavor.

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

Sing!

Wait, risk of death while eating.

You can hold your umbrella with one hand as you fly above everyone and eat your burrito with the other hand, right?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Wow, Liese. That's cool.

Isn't that a crazy story? This is the guy. Mel McGary, he's a total badass.

It doesn't fucking matter what accent any of your employees have or what typos you make.

Yeah, exactly. It's partially why I doubt the story of the product's genesis. It would have to mean everyone whose desk that crossed was willfully ignorant. Instead, I'm going to assume malevolence. Simple incompetence doesn't cover it.

I'm getting the pig!

I wish you were here, Perkins. You being with us would improve the experience by a billion percent. Fuck cancer!

Plei - totes! If you're not too busy and stuff. The only plans we have for today are Pikes Place for a number of hours once Cassiepants arrives. Tomorrow we want to accomplish Space Needle, underground tour and the Battlestar Galactica exhibit at the Sci Fi museum. Definitely time to meet up whenever you can. I've shown DH enough awesome pics of Lilybean that he could probably pick her out in a crowd.

Oh! Nicole! Heyyyyyy, I'm free tomorrow! :)
