Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fuck, I got to the "experiment" on page 2, and I'm out. Saving that headspace for chocolate and slash, thank you very much.

No, you shouldn't.
Jilli! I have a co-worker that wants my arc reactor shirt. It's a lot of fun to tell her she'll never have it.
Hee! That makes me very smug.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That makes me very smug.
AS YOU SHOULD BE.

I wish that show had been on cable, and could have lasted. It was entertaining! If not very good.
Yes. I think that the problem was that they wanted to be Mr & Mrs. Smith, but ended up being Scarecrow and Mrs. King.

I was home sick today and I watched all six episodes of Scandal. I love the actor who plays the newspaper reporter, but things never seem to go well for him.
I am also being driven slowly mad by a humming and beeping noise. The service station next door had to install some sort of pump or monitor or something, and they put it in a metal shed. All winter it has been humming which I could not hear with the windows closed, but as annoying outside. Now there is also a high pitched ringing/beeping. I feel like my brain is about to explode, and there are three apartment houses between me and this shed.

Except not as good.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Oy. RIF at work today, and I am in the grip of survivor's guilt.
My department was decimated; three are gone. One person left voluntarily for the severance package. The other two losses were mandated by budget cuts, and with their departure the company has deprived itself of its most experienced, knowledgeable, skilled, and level-headed people. Both are older than I, and primary support for their families.
I'm not actually safe. There may well be further cuts this week. Right now I don't know if I want to stay or go, but it is too late for me leaving to save one of my friends his job.

Oh jeez, that's tough. Hard on the RIF'ed and hard on those left.

Aw, man, dcp. Take care of yourself.
Baltimore's ACS just came out. Fascinating stuff on the changes in my neighborhood (designated the Waverlies. It's actually a rather odd boundary. If I were drawing the lines, would be a little different and some of the demographs would be ...different.) And now I can't find the link nor how I got it...
..I just was asked the backstory of Kosovo. Mental whiplash. I read and wrote so much about the whole Yugo collapse in the 90s that I wished I had a 'fmr' key on my keyboard. My brother was part of KFOR stationed in Macedonia (hey, where DID my Skopje plate go??) I have a ridiculous number of books on the subject, And yet, for a moment I was all DER.
