Aftershock. Quite a jolt, but it didn't go on. Glad I was already up...
Wash: Captain, didn't you know kissin' girls makes you sleepy? Mal: Well sometimes I just can't help myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Argh -- new Outlook is totally gaslighting me! Messages show up on my phone, but not my desktop.

One broken penguin, but that was clearly cat and not earthquake.

NPR has gotten the Superman theme stuck in my head.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Jesse, look in the junk folder. That's where mine end up when that happens.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
One of my friends who LOVES Burning Man keeps trying to convince me I should go. Ahahahaah, no. Camping, Desert. CAMPING. Plus, a lot of the people who are ardent Burning Man fans annoy me.
Alkaline dust everywhere? Bunches of bourgeois kids on drugs? Wal*Mart being the only place you can get supplies for hundreds of miles? No running water? People with no sense of personal boundaries who get pissy when you enforce yours?
Yeah, I can't see why you wouldn't want to go.
(To be fair, a lot of people I know have gone and had a wonderful time, and there are some truly awesome people who go/organize/spend a lot of time making art. It's just so very Not For Me, and it was even before the latest influx of tech money.)

I found a couple of other missing things there, but these didn't show up until I restarted Outlook. Easy enough, but should not be necessary!

The camping in the desert part is really the only aspect that appeals to me. But I'd rather do that by myself.I'm pretty bourgeois about art, really.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yay on the second interview, ita!
As for Burning Man, yeah, no. I lived in Barrington Hall in the '80s, I have no need to go back and recapture the experience.
