Nilly, we could never ignore you. Sorry.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I went to the ATM, where I found out that I actually had about $200 more in my account than I'd thought. So that was nice. I'd thought I had only about $30 until I got paid. So I now have coffee, and enough cash to buy lunch if I don't feel like going home in the middle of the day to eat.
vw, I definitely want to read that paper once you've got it online. It sounds really interesting.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
P.S. VW, I am in on that thing on Sunday. Despite my not replying to emails. I am bad at that, as Somervillains have cause to know.
I got Dunkies coffee this morning (8am meeting, and also I have no cream in my house), and it is acrid and icky. I don't know if it is just me, or the fact I asked for milk instead of cream, or if the coffee batch was bad, but it is not the Dunkies goodness I was craving.
8am meeting! Bleah. And it was over in 15 minutes, too, but 8am was the only time my co-meeters could meet (over the phone).

I half suspected that you might be able to make it. I haven't heard from Theo either. Theo, you gonna be able to make it?
It's gonna be a good group. I'm REALLY excited. I may even invite my friend J. I think she might enjoy it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm watching Vin Diesel on Leno right now.
What I completely don't get is the lummox thing. It's a perfectly well-spoken interview. People are weird.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ack, Laura, what a situation. Poor son!
Um, Nutty, a phone meeting? You couldn't have done it from home? Just a thought....
I feel very fancy that I keep getting overnight packages for work. I'm also glad I woke up early, so I was awake, if wet and naked, when the UPS guy came.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Awake, wet and naked--isn't that like a UPS guy's DREAM?

Yeah, I don't know why he didn't come in. Possibly the terrycloth robe/towel on head look was not quite as alluring as one might have hoped.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Phone meeting was a conference call, and long-distance. I don't do either of those things on my home phone bill (and anyway, don't think I can do the conference thingie).

Sometimes it takes in-depth conversation to suss out a true level of speaking ability. I can name you a couple of local celebrities who talk all the time, and are quite quotable, and whom most people would call articulate; but in in-depth interview they may repeat phrases and fumble with sentence-fragments, clearly intent on transmitting an idea, but unable to communicate except in sound-bite. I'm sure the opposite is true as well.

Ah, a little more ad-hoc than I was thinking -- not the kind of conference call where everyone gets an 800 number to call in on.
