Seriously, Allyson, you should leave work.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm impressed with myself for not going PAGE ONE SEVENTY ONE to all the B&N staff. I can't even begin to imagine the size of your emotions right now, 'Dol.
I'd totally take a "my head is suddenly exploding and I'm salaried, right?" half day. Fuck, even if you're not salaried.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I HAZ BOOK!
At the risk of making Paperdol even more teary, I want to share my story. Went to the B&N in MDR and asked for the book. The nice man recognized the title immediately and said it was shelved in humor, but that he was planning on moving some copies to the special, in the front humor table because he was so entranced by the blurbs and he was a big Firefly fan, etc. He was all kinds of chatty about the book. Told him I knew the author. He asked if she lived nearby and I said she did. He said he'd like to have her come by sometime and sign some copies so he could display them with a SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR sticker.

Oh, and I figured I'd put this in a separate post:
Okay, Wikipedia defines a GenXer as someone born between 61-81.
Heh. So my DH and I are officially both Gen X. But his brother? So Gen Y. And my eldest sister? She's a Boomer. As for the overlap, it actually fits with my experience. Some people born towards the end of the Official Boomer years really have very little in common with most Boomers and much more in common with the generation that follows.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Dammit, I'm going to have to go to a different bookstore to buy another copy, so I can be sure to ask many many employees where it is.

Maybe I'll hit up the B&N on Third Street next. And I think there's an independent bookstore right down there, for later.

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
You guys. I'm already crying. Why you gotta do a sister like that?

The new Boeing 787 will be unveiled on Sunday (7/8/07). Something I didn't know is it has new technology to make turbulence much less severe for passengers. An electronic system uses the plane's flight controls to dampen the up and down motions of turbulence "by as much as 60 percent to 70 percent." [link]
Also, the 787's cabin will be pressurized to a higher level and will have higher humidity. And it will have much bigger windows.
Hmmm... I wonder if airline passengers will start to specifically request flights on the 787. It's the fastest selling new airliner in history, and will begin service next year.
