Damn, I need chocolate and I can't get any without leaving the office...
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Damn. I can't believe someone just snipped at me for starting a new email thread. Look, if the old thread isn't in my current window (and it's usually not, because there's a lot of crap coming through), I'm not going to scroll down to find an old e-mail that's only tangentially related to what I want to talk about now.
And, if you don't like how I email, don't send me the email you wish I'd replied to as an attachment. That's rude.
I'm going to just delete that. Food molester guy was less bothersome today.
Some guy I barely know straightfaced me today. I feel...outdone. I feel like Abed, being punked by Troy. I sassed him, bigtime, but it was like pulling out of a steep uncontrolled dive. He's on my list now. He's being watched...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, speaking of work, I was in the elevator with someone who had a guest, and she was saying, "Oh, because you're on radio, you have that anonymity," and he said, "Sometimes people do recognize my voice in public..." and I couldn't figure out who it was! And forgot to ask around, because clearly it was some NPR type in town for an event, so I'm sure I could figure it out, but I felt like a failure for not getting it.

Hah, Jesse. You fail at being an NPR groupie.
I swear, I would totally recognize the voices of Susan Stamburg, Scott Simon, Bob Edwards, or Robert J. Lurtzema anywhere. Oh, and Sylvia Pogiolli (sp?).

Also, Click and Clack and Nina Totenburg.
(Although Robert J. Lurtzema is dead, right?)

A lot of them, I'd recognize their faces, even! But not this guy. I will try to remember tomorrow and report back.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Susan Stamburg
She was on an MSNBC program last week and I was looking down and as soon as I heard her, I exclaimed!
I swear some of the NPR people's voices I may know better than my own friends.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, this is cool. I'm listening to my iTunes music playing over my stereo via an Apple TV. The Apple TV is set to show a screen saver while music is playing, which is showing pictures from Tom Scola's flickr account.
Nice pictures, Tom. Although they go oddly with The Cure.

OK, people in my neighborhood have finally figured out what happened today. There was a fire and a domestic disturbance around the corner at the same time. People saw the big mess o' fire trucks and cop cars and ambulance and assumed it was all one event.
