We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

The one upside of the power being out was going to be the lack of any excuse to stay up late -- and indeed, I got to bed around 8:45. Unfortunately, the combination of house-shaking wind and worry about the power loss, plus the creeping cold, meant I didn't get much sleep. I must have fallen asleep at some point, because I remember being woken up by the wind stopping. And at 5:30 I got out of bed to investigate the glow from the living room -- turned out it got cold enough in there to trigger the fire.

Man, I'm tired.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

No, you can't have the admin password.

Because you're not an admin, and I don't want you messing around in there.

No, the admin password is MINE. Not yours. Mine. Because you could do bad things with it, and I don't trust any of you people not to pass it around to the rest of the company.

NO. I will find you something else, okay? NO PASSWORD FOR YOU.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The wind yesterday was bad. The slightly less windy but 18 F?! OMIGODSOMUCHWORSE.

And I started my day with a trip to the dentist.

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

The slightly less windy but 18 F?!

How about more windy and less than 18F? 'Cause that's what we got going on up here right now. I was actually afraid my car wouldn't start (it did, good girl).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dear Girl Passing Outside My Office Window,

If it's cold enough for Uggs and what appear to be matching Ugg-mittens, why the hot pants? Why?

It was 22 on my drive to work this morning, and the car thermometer is usually a few degrees warm.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

And yet? They always ask... There needs to be a more emphatic version of "No."
