Here's something I didn't know: By law, a deactivated cellphone must still be able to call 911.

Apparently, this is true for regular phone lines too. We don't have an active landline, but my housemate has a phone hooked up to our jack just to call 911 in an emergency.

...this is what I learned in the Sun paper this morning.

Hahaha! I read that same article.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's interesting. I wonder if I'll remember it in an actual emergency? (I have a phone jack and a phone, but no landline service.)

Speaking of phones, I've been putting off making three phone calls all day. One of the people called me herself, but no way will either of the other two. Ah well.

I am so unbelievably bored right now. It's like, there's not enough time left in the week to start anything major, and every other task I have is boring and/or unpleasant. Good times.

Hahaha! I read that same article.

and now you are yawning due to that thing where our ancient ancestors yawned contagiously in order to keep the group alert in case of danger! In this case "group" = Sun readers.

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

Why is it not even lunchtime yet???

Life sucks. If life were fair, it's be closer to 5pm.

Yes, I will alert us all to the danger of reprocessed data.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Due to intense paranoia, I've done a name change thingy for a little while. I feel sort of stupid about it, but the paranoia about the book coming out and coworkers finding me was making me a bit queasy.

It's going to be very hard for you to stay incognito, you know, Paperdol.

I'm not even sure how to phrase the post the best way.
