Also, I'm sorry my phone keeps ass-dialing you. It likes you best.
It called me twice at two in the morning in the UK. It even left nasty voicemails.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I was ass-dialed by you a couple weeks ago! I feel so included.

'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"
Note that I'm sure the credit card companies would LOVE to keep the "cancelling is bad for your credit" meme going. Not that it isn't necessarily true, but it certainly benefits them.

Punishingly Intricate
Man, I ate too many grilled cheeses yesterday! I need to find another area of expertise.
That's actually the 2nd time Bob's been in the Sun since we've known each other. The first time he didn't even live here yet. He's still in awe of how small Bmore is sometimes.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
1) We had bad storms last night, which meant we lost power. Which meant no alarm clock. Which meant 1 hr late to work.
2) I have something in my left eye. I stupidly put on mascara (see running late). Now I feel like I have 1 raccoon eye.
3) My sister is getting married on Saturday!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It even left nasty voicemails.
Because you won't call back! I told you it like you.
I was ass-dialed by you a couple weeks ago! I feel so included.
You're very special to my ass.
However, I should have a new Blackberry holster soon so the ass-dialing era will (I hope) come to an end. (Get it?!)
Now I feel like I have 1 raccoon eye.
Tell them it's a Clockwork Orange promotion.

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 don't quite understand the point of this law:
Arrests made as French face veil ban takes effect
PARIS — France's new ban on Islamic face veils was met with a burst of defiance Monday, as several women appeared veiled in front of Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral and two were detained for taking part in an unauthorized protest. A third was reportedly arrested in the city of Avignon.
France on Monday became the world's first country to ban the veils anywhere in public, from outdoor marketplaces to the sidewalks and boutiques of the Champs-Elysees.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy set the wheels in motion for the ban nearly two years ago, saying the veils imprison women and contradict this secular nation's values of dignity and equality. The ban enjoyed wide public support when it was approved by parliament last year.

I don't quite understand the point of this law:
Have you ever been to France? Because I think its pretty consistent with a French cultural presumption that The French Way Is The Right Way.
Maybe if they started wearing veils by Hermes.

Nope.

Yeah, I figured it was a French thing that I just don't understand.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I used to get ass dialed all the time, for one reason or another. Now, if Burrell doesn't do it, it doesn't happen.
I have an email in my inbox from a name really similar to twatt in my inbox. It's really distracting.
I'm noticing displays of $159 tickets for driving and texting. I need to look up and see what they cover under "texting". Because they can't mean just that.
