The storm is starting to arrive here. It's kind of creepy. Alternating between the air being totally still and wind blowing everything everywhere, with no real in-between periods.
Two by two, hands of blue. Two by two, hands of blue.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I just finished clearing up everything in my yard. I managed to break a toenail trying to get my compost bin under the steps.

I am supposed to announce: "We encourage you follow us on Twitter at @DBookFestival and we ask you to tag your tweets with #Bookzilla."
How should I actually say that? "at DBookFest" and "hash tag Bookzilla"? At sign? Pound sign?

I think you would omit pronouncing the symbols, on the assumption that people who use the Twitter understand how to use them.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy Birthday Liese!
I didn't mind the MRI much at all, which kind of surprised me. I got a little twitchy because of the don't move thing, but the tube didn't bother me.
I was face down though, so I wasn't as aware of being in a tube.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I didn't mind the MRI (or tight spaces in general) at all. When I was about four I would play this game where I'd pull the bed away from the wall so there was almost enough room for me to fit through the gap. Then I'd pull the covers around me and purposefully get myself stuck between the bed and the wall. I'd pretend to struggle, which would sorta' cause the bed to slide further from the wall, and eventually I'd slide through the gap and land on the floor.
eta: When about the same age I'd also play a game where I'd crawl head-first into a sleeping bag, turn myself around and then crawl out. I tended to get stuck while turning around, which was part of the fun.

Weather is so crazy. I was just sitting here wondering when the hurricane was going to get here, and all of a sudden it's windy and rainy! Hey, Earl.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've decided I don't like being 5'8 anymore. It's not tall enough (at my proportions, which are perfectly regular, thanks) to always get pants in long, but tall enough that most pants don't break right. My jeans are too short. I hate them.
Also, either you tight spaces people are weird or I am. No, Jesse, it's not whatever-works-for-whover. Clearly one party or another is in the right, and the other is in the weird.

OK, so you're the weird one. Case closed!
