You guys. I'm already crying. Why you gotta do a sister like that?
You're like my fairy godmother, and Santa Claus, and Q all wrapped up into one! Q from Bond, not Star Trek.

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

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

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Thinking that tonight might be a trip to B&N followed by the premiere of Dr. Who.
Can you think of a better night?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, LJ post made. WX mention made. Facebook mention made. Or three. Just have to update LibraryThing, and then I'm done for the nonce.
Maybe Vox on the weekend, but I don't think anyone reads mine.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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.
I told The Boy last night that when Vampire People is out, we'd have to go to all the bookstores in the area and make sure the book is prominently displayed. (I do that with all Buffista authors — I go to the section their book is in, and I either put it on an end display or just turn it so that the cover is facing out, rather than the spine facing out. Guerrilla marketing.)

Add in some pie and an impeachment, and I could die happy.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
It has been raining here for 45 days. I just had it confirmed by NPR.
The rain will not, however, stop me from going out to get The Book. No siree.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Dude. On a table.
