Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

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

Regular nail polish makes my nails peel off in layers like an onion. I have to use the kind with no formaldehyde or tolulene. I rarely bother.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

As in Tom Mison doing Ichabod Crane giving you directions. This is glorious.

Aaaaaaaa I just installed this and he told me "in naught-point-one miles, turn your carriage to the right."

(Except I know from experience that I'll probably switch back to a computer voice after two or three annoyed drives where he doesn't read the street names. Also the help menu still answers in Android Siri.)

Maybe I'll have him tell me how to get to places I already know how to get to, just to listen to him.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I do wish Ichabod and Terry said the street names, but I'm usually using it to get around traffic, not direct me somewhere unfamiliar.

in naught-point-one miles, turn your carriage to the right.

Also, this made me go "eeeeeeee!" I can't wait to try it tomorrow.

Yeah, I understand why it's not technically feasible to lock an actor in a recording booth for a year having them read the names of every street in the US, Mexico, and Canada, but we have Autotune now! Can't we have people just read phonemes and then magically assemble them into words?

Periodically, I look up and am all GODDAMN, startled by my wall.

Also, fuck you adobe, I just want to post some public domain images, but you'll only save them as images in thirds. Go die.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

"in naught-point-one miles, turn your carriage to the right."

That is delightful.

sara, sorry about your wall woes.

We had to have an all-staff meeting to discuss where to place the new photocopier. This took 45 minutes. I am not making this up.

We once had a three day retreat (granted it was in Sonoma) where we spent the whole time covering what to do if the girls chewed gum, how to record tardies and dealing with the uniform policy.
