Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

IOQCN, I'm going through it from the beginning for the second time.

Huh. Me too. Why are we doing that? Did he make some anniversary comment?

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

What Consuela said.

ION, my doctor told me to stay away from dairy for a week or so until I recover, so now I am drinking non-dairy creamer in my coffee, and I just don't understand how people can drink this stuff.

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

Perkins, I know! Coffee is just so gross.

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

Taylor Kitsch without his hair is like Jason Momoa without a beard: utterly unrecognizeable to me. Man, face-recognition is WEIRD.

Whoa, yeah, he looks like a completely different person.

I tend to hit "Random" a lot before I go to bed. I loves me some Hanners.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

There's a story up about my car on a site called leftlane news, and they just called me to confirm some things.

I can't get to it here...it doesn't say I'm craxy, does it?

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

Zuma Rossdale is a cutie.

I have to work out if it's worth asking the CIO for an exception so I can get email and calendaring on my tablet. It passes the security bar (system-level encryption), but they haven't tested it yet. Worth making a noise about? Hmmm.

I need to do laundry tonight. I'm either going to wear this shirt or this one to suck up to my boss.
