I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I just got an email from Delta saying that if I call the new reservations system from the phone that's listed in my profile, the system will "recognize you and respond naturally to your voice".

This leads to Skynet, right?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'm sitting in the dark and a Jillifont just walked across my laptop screen. I flicked it, but I have no idea where it landed.

Still, better than imagining it crawling down and landing on my lap. I can blissfully assume that it is now several feet over on the floor.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This leads to Skynet, right?

Yuuuup.

I went over to my parents' because my mother was going out, only to learn that there was a fire near where she was going, so she didn't bother. So they fed me dinner, and I came home! I even got a free transfer on the bus home, because it was so quick.

Congrats, Jesse! On the job, the timely coming of the letter, and the free transfer.

My 6th period is taste testing chocolate including ones with cracked pepper, chili, bacon, beef jerky and BBQ potato chips.

Yum!

This leads to Skynet, right?

I'm not sure "leads to" is the right verb. maybe just "is"?

Y'all were very amusing to catch up on today. I can't help but picture Design as a secret member of the Endless, now.

Congrats, Jesse!

Guess what I'm getting for xmas???? Another crown! Damnit. I pretty much knew that's where the tooth was heading eventually, I was just hoping it was fillable for now. NSM.

That'll make 3 for the year. And a good chance of 3 more next year.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Saying "Paul Ryan" would probably be evil and wrong, right, Ginger? But, okay, maybe someone could make him *think* he had metastatic cancer for a month or two... it could be like the food-stamp challenge, but scarier.

I need cooking help again. Pete picked up pre-made shrimp and grits cakes from WF. How should I cook them? Pan fry? Bake?

They didn't come with instructions?

Man, biting into a pear that I'm not sure is ripe and finding that it is is a really wonderful feeling.

Nope. Pre-made fresh stuff that is purchased at the meat and fish counters never come with instructions. WHICH IS VERY FRUSTRATING.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Pan-fry, not too high of heat. Flip til nicely brown on both sides.
