I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Trust my rage

You called where mac is? That would worry me too. Any other way to reach them?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My father's mother had a similar freakout the other day, apparently -- I guess she called when they were on their way to a (routine) doctor's appointment, and then they weren't home, and etc., etc. Of course she didn't call my father's cell phone, which he would have answered.

I guess what I'm saying is, I don't know that it ever goes away.

Also, Kat, that restaurant looks terrifying.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

You can get your revenge in 40-50 years, msbelle.

I spent a non-trivial amount of time outside of my dad's apartment building this Saturday, alternating between ringing his apartment's comm bell, calling his phone, and wondering how long I should wait before calling 911. The apartment building nosey neighbor (self-described) and troubleshooter eventually got me in, where I found out that my dad had been napping in the back bedroom, where he couldn't hear the phone or comm bell.

He now has a shiny new phone in his bedroom.

My mom still feaks if I am not home when she calls.

I'm sure it does.

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

I've got about 5-6 automated calls today for Miguel Sanchez warning about possible fraud on his Visa card. What exactly do I have to do to make these calls stop?
