Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Eye patches required?

We do get raises, hooray! Less than inflation, boo. Still, better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Weather's been nice and warm the last few days, which is good since we still don't have a working furnace. (I'll have to ask Gary tonight if the furnace people have told him when the replacement will be installed. I didn't get to ask him yesterday as he had a dinner attached to his meeting, and didn't get home until almost 10.)

BTW< I am having a Caesar salad today. I ordered from Panera and I got a bread bowl of French onion soup to go with it to maximize both croutons and starches. Sometimes my decision making is pretty questionable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I didn't manage to get pie yesterday, but I did get a Caesar salad today!

I might have a brandy snifter filled with stylish eye patches should you want to put one on.

Perfect.

I got an apple pie from McDonald's yesterday which I felt barely counted, but it is still pie even if it isn't round.

Finally it is the end of my day! Changing my schedule to later seemed like a really good idea this morning (I went to the gym before work and wasn't late, it was amazing!) but has been kind of a drag for the last hour or so...

Who decided these were the choices? The "Cake or Death?" guys?

You have a point.
