I once had a professor who wanted me to figure out what toy store in London had a toy he'd seen for his kid while wandering around. He couldn't remember exactly where it was, but he thought it was on (some street he named). Oi.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Last night I was watching L&O:UK On Demand and playing online when suddenly the tv and the computer both went out. No Comcast. (I didn't check to see if my phone was still working. . . I assume that it was out too.)
Thank goodness it's back this morning. (Didn't have time to check if internet is working at home.) New Supernatural tonight and I must have my cable tv!

Comcast goes out on me all the time, both internet and TV. It's a big problem.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I haven't had much problem with Comcast, for which I am grateful.

I guess they are so busy trying to take over the world and charge for it that they can't keep their regular stuff running right.

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

This doesn't seem right to me, but being neither Jewish nor a Wookie, I can't say for sure....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
This morning, I am going to Stanford to look at computer and telecommunications dictionaries from the 1990s to see if one of them has a definition that matches one that is in a current wikipedia entry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The definition for what, Perkins?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Three fairly common phrases. I have lots of definitions for all of them, but they aren't using the buzz words the partner wants (the ones from the 2010 wikipedia entry).
It's more than a little bit of a wild goose chase.
Did I mention Stanford's study period before finals starts today?

That sounds really interesting, though, Perkins! Academic wild goose chases are some of the best, I think.
