How awesome is that name?
That's as cool as "cytokine storm"! (Which is something that I don't want to ever happen to me, but the name makes it sound fantastic!)
The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

I swear to you, I read this
Lucas’s Law: There is no movie so beloved that a “special edition,” prequel or sequel cannot trample and forever stain its memory.
And I thought, "Woah, there's a special edition of Lucas? And it's different somehow? How did -- Oh. Oh, I get it now." Definitely time for more coffee.
Now someone with a better memory than me come up with a supporting example, stat!
My impression is that Bridges of Madison County is reasonably faithful to the book. But since it's a movie, you are spared Waller's prose.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And now I find out from Facebook that my mother is at the hospital with my grandfather.

(1) Ew. (2) I had no idea their regular turkey flavor soda wasn't vegetarian. EW.

I'm sorry, Dana. I hope it's nothing serious.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I just had a Tropical Punch Crush in a glass bottle. Holy nom nom nom, Lolcatz!

Yes, it would be nice to know, rather than finding out from FACEBOOK and having to wonder.
I'm being irrationally angry, I know. And yet, knowing that doesn't stop my being angry.

I may have to seize the cat.
I missed the grammar smackdown! Cry!
Here, how's this: splitting infinitives is only a problem in English because a bunch of English dudes who were studying Latin thought English should be more like Latin. In Latin, an infinitive is all one word, thus it is impossible to split it without just making up some nonsense words...
So, as a Latin scholar aware of this, I feel free to indiscriminately split infinitives non-stop.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't know that's irrationally angry, Dana. I mean, unless you are really freaking out and breaking things and/or hurting people....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had no idea their regular turkey flavor soda wasn't vegetarian. EW.
I had no idea they had a turkey flavour drink. EW.

That is a horrible way to find out. I hope you can get some information more personally soon.
My sister and I found out via a Facebook friend request that a cousin was undergoing a FTM transition--my mother knew and hadn't said anything because it hadn't come up in conversation. Thanks, mother. I found it perfectly simple news to blurt out to my father over dinner. Pork chops, if memory serves.
