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

'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"
My driving commute is largely not sucking as much as I worried. I'm also more relaxed about the traffic and the time it takes (compared to the last time I had a driving commute, 10+ years ago pre-Paxil). I also have plenty of NPR podcasts to keep me entertained... but I still miss walking and public transportation options which meant healthy exercise and time to read.

In his intro, Jackson says he never could get his daughter to sleep through reading to her. I expect that's because he's Samuel L. Fucking Jackson, and that rich voice could keep someone awake through the phonebook. Even if you'd grown up with That Voice through your toddlerhood.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
did you all know that the audio book of "go the fuck to sleep" is narrated by Samuel L. Jackson?
I listened to it in the car on the way to work this morning. BIG MISTAKE. I almost drove into a ditch because I was laughing so hard.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Well, at least you didn't go to sleep.

The YouTube version with the actual book illos are worth seeing too- although they're mostly just slyly humorous which makes a good contrast w/ the LOL text.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I'll have to listen to that this weekend.
I brought in my breakfast, the little mini-quiche/frittata/Denver Omelette in a ramekin, and after nuking it and giving bites to my cubicle neighbors, they have named it a definite hit, and want the recipe. I also bought some grapes and pineapple chunks for my fruit for the day. Lunch will be something from the grill (summer Wednesdays is always grill day at the cafeteria) and some corn on the cob, and then dinner will be the chicken sausage from TJ's that I've been munching on all week with some veggies.

I played the audible book through itunes.
That's what I tried. It kept asking for my Audible username/password and whatever I put in didn't work. I really didn't want to hear it enough to bother solving the problem.
