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.

sometimes I still have weird moments realizing that you have a government name that's not shrift.

Uhhh, if I ever met shrift, I don't think I'd be able to call her anything but. Which is funny. I don't know if anyone has called me sarameg outside the box. I called meara meara most of the time, I think.

(it's funny, I really love sarameg and would probably answer to it, but it still is a box name to me. Though I wouldn't mind it manifesting in the meat world at all.)

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

We're getting thunder here. So cute!

Wah! I envy you thunder. I mean, I know I get it more than you, but by god, I miss NM's regular thunder. One of my favorite weathers.

Too bad I'm trapped inside at UCLA!

shrift, what a cute cut! I am envying your bare nape and I think you might inspire me to get my own hair cut.

It's just baby thunder.

I'm sitting here at my desk with my laptop perched on my scanner so I can use it and my desktop PC at the same time--I'm IRCing on the laptop, and remote desktopping into work on the desktop.

Technology is cool.

Heh. Well, thanks to buffistas (and I'm happy about it), I generally answer to meara in person.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I habe been drinking!1! Long day of depositions, short evening of margaritas.

Jesse, I asked b/c I had done an evaluation of a judge in Queens for his reelection, for a Bar association. I was curious whether that was (a) the same judge or (2) the same court.

ita, I can't imagine how it prejudices the plaintiff to replace "may" with "will." It may keep the cops from being less than firm about it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was curious whether that was (a) the same judge or (2) the same court.

And?

BTW, the court building is really quite nice. It's new and airy, with modern columns out front.
