No one will let me have Lightening: The Home Edition yet. I need better friends. And a Tesla coil.
I wonder if Dad would let us have a Tesla coil. I bet if I asked, he'd help us build one in my back yard.
I'll be in my bunk.

I think I just felt Pete flinch without knowing why.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I needs one.

dcp is an enabler.
From the Tesla Coil blurb:
Our unique 50,000 volt capacity generator radiates high frequency energy through space or light flourescent tubes up to two feet away!
Love the exclamation point. I think they have a good grasp of their target audience.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Your backyard would be perfect for a Tesla coil! (Sorry for the uncontrollable flinching you are experiencing, Pete.) Dad can help us build it and Mom can cater. Wheeeee!

I'm trying to decide what to make for dinner. Maybe a penne pasta salad-y thing with chicken. Of course, it's all hypothetical because I'm still at work, but a hungry girl can dream.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
shrift, go home. It's past time.

I've already been to the gym upstairs and back, ChiKat. I'm waiting for a script to finish running so I can check the results, and then I'm out of here.

Heh. The conversation on the way home tonight is going to be fun!

Tesla coil AND artichoke dip! We win!

I need to make cauliflower leek soup this weekend in prep for the 2 temp crowns I'm getting monday. And probably some other soft stuff. I'm taking all of monday off, so I guess I can cook some more in the morning.
