If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

They did back down on the Who Dat? thing at least.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hey, they light water on fire! I know a couple of Buffistas who'd like that.

Shhhhhhh

If Pete starts hearing "oooh, Appalacia is SO GOTH! We MUST GO! I can have a CASTLE on a MOUNTAIN and the old mine beneath is where I'll keep my gilded cages of pretty people. And My Chem can have a practice space there because its like the Batcave." he's going to kill me.

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

The whole source of amusement from the Amazon thing is that Bezos is trying to act like a badass negotiator like Steve Jobs and completely failing at it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Bwah ha ha! I have successfully derived the Security codes for both primary and aliased timesheet approvers for Sections and Groups! Soon the SQL needed to update Section and Group codes will be mine!

(Sorry, I'm conduction an experiment to see how my work is affected when I pretend to be evil.)

To be fair, you can find some nice structures in the US south east mountains: [link]

Good, now he'll snarl at Calli too.

I've been low on LOOMs lately.

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

Maybe if I were evil my SQL would be less clunky. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Everything's better with evil.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I used to walk almost a mile (.8 of a mile) each way to junior high in Hartford, usually kind of with my sister ("kind of" because we usually didn't like walking together, but we had to, so there was lots of distance.)

When I was in elementary school, I used to take the city bus down New Britain Avenue to my school in West Hartford. Also by myself/with my sister,

Also, when I came home, my parents generally weren't home. I would often watch TV and then get yelled at a lot for not cleaning the kitchen or some such.

Also, in the afternoon/evenings, we would be shoo'd outside to play until dinnertime- we'd generally roam around the neighborhood as we pleased, for hours.
