Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Happy birthday, Brenda!
We have no snow here in NC. We get to play the "watch the hurricane" game for the next few days, but that's unlikely to affect much of anything inland here.

Isn't it a bit premature for the local weather boffins to be blathering on about Perfect Storms when it's freaking five days out?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It is, but I'm selfishly happy to see them use the phrase for an actual storm and not some random minor coincidence.

Five isn't even a perfect number.

Ann, that's a ferret.
DC seems to be right on the edge of Sandy. I'm pulling out my wishes for nasty storms in general. Either stay away, or hit us hard enough to shut everything down for a day or two. Preferably weekdays.
None of this in-between of slogging through things to get to work. Because I know me -- if the office is open, I'll be there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It is almost the same as a perfect number.
An IO9 article that was trying to make a point based on an abstract by their clumsiest writer had that phrase in it--he said that 8.5 was almost the same number as 7, except he was saying that 8.5 was almost the same number as 7% which is a whole impossible ball of wax, given what he was working with.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
