Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

submit to a "health screening," or pay an extra $100 a month for health insurance.

For comparison, at my workplace I have to complete the annual health screening in order to qualify to enroll in the healthcare plan at all.

But if I jump through some extra hoops (things like providing documentation of my dental exams, my vision exam, and my flu shot) I can get up to $250 on my company rewards debit card.

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

I just wrote some web page copy for my new boss that he asked me if I used a resource to generate.

My brain!

Also the pain of the soldiers that fell before me...

But I would love to know where I could get copy help like that. Save my poor neurons.

It's cool and dry enough outside that I threw open the windows and am airing the house out. After a month of having it shut up.

The cats are loving it, though there was a moment when the neighborhood grey cat ventured up on the porch. Pumpkin has quite an expressive war cry! Loki's is steady, but she throws in warbles and vibrato.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm watching Rachel Maddow tonight and you know how she usually has this dry ironic thing going on? Well she just channeled her inner Olbermann and gave a passionate rant about the VA Governor and San Diego Mayor for reducing the already tarnished image of public service. I kinda felt like apologizing myself, and I haven't been harassing employees or taking suspicious kickbacks.

Because books.

But I would love to know where I could get copy help like that.

I can write copy for you, you goof.

I just helped a friend title her new book series! That was fun. I haven't done title brainstorming in an age.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm watching Rachel Maddow too. I was impressed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, some people are all worked up over how Wills and Kate put the baby in the car seat: [link] Keep reading until you get to Diana references.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

BTW, I forget who posted it here, but there are 9K notes on the story about the people in Japan pushing the subway off the woman who fell in.

In other tumblr news, someone wrote in twice asking how to deactivate her blog. So that's nice.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'm still sad nobody smuggled a Longbottom in there (Potter would surely have been too much to hope for, but wouldn't that have rocked?).

And it had the advantage of hitting both the LOTR and the Harry Potter universes.
