Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Not even a little wrong.

Oooh... that makes me want to google my SIL.

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

I am so irrationally averse to googling someone I might be seeing. I would probably google my sister's guy, though.

Cajun does refer a place name, just not the right place name anymore.

I do love the origin of the accent name Yat ("Where y'at?"). That one is totally unrelated to location. Any location.

For some reason, this makes me think of CSI: Miami. But in a good way.

Because books.

But even then, "Cajun" wasn't a precise reference to Acadiana, which would have been les Cadiens or les Acadiens.

Pandora now wants to hook me up with men in Philadelphia? I was not expecting that. Well, not Pandora directly. I guess they just want me to know that match.com does. But, hey, free music... it's all good.

More poached chicken and broth. I have a lot of frozen chicken breasts. More soup, and some chicken salad from the current round, I think.

I should go to sleep, but I want to watch Leverage. What to do, what to do?

Ooh, Pandora is now reminding me about Christmas at Longwood Gardens. I haven't done that for more than a decade! I should do that this year. So pretty. I wonder how much it is now?

Not precise French precise, but I'm giving it a dialect pass.

Pandora has never tried to set me up.

OMG, when am I ever going to stop fiddling with this phone? I think never. I wish it could have a guest login, so I could put all my private stuff right there in the open, *my* open, but other people wouldn't see it when they picked the phone up to pry.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I know, right?

I found an interview from just a couple of months ago and her business website. I'm good with that. Sources that are meant to be public.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My boss asked me just this morning what Brandywine referred to. (Well, he asked generally, and I responded.) I was quite keen on Longwood, especially the greenhouse orchids.
