Paul Newman. When he was still alive, of course. Damn, that man...
Good salad dressing too.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That was weird. The pizza guy just asked me if I spoke French.

Trying to figure out which island you're from?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Taking a French class, and just trying it on all of his customers?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Never gave any of my cars names. A friend of mine did name her green Toyota Tercel Esmerelda Turtlewax.
BTW, Gary and I will be in the SF area from Aug 14-16. We're planning on seeing the play P-C is in on either the 15th or the 16th.

No, he was definitely French himself. Weird.
And weirdly too, my sister just Skyped me to ask if she could ask a family member for names of local migraine doctors. Why they suddenly need my permission to talk amongst themselves is a bit of a surprise--it's not like I can't just ignore the information if I don't want it.
And then she hung up on me because I wasn't...something. She's sitting there, camera pointing into the darkness, not saying anything, having called, and I'm not living up to my end of the social contract.
Okay.

Why does listening to Mission Control and the Atlantis's final comm goodbyes make me tear up? I do believe it was time to close out the Shuttle (though I really wish there were something innovative on the docket) but...yeah, I grew up with the Shuttle. The dad of my best friend from 3-10 was a shuttle engineer, and I remember it landing at White Sands. And Challenger. And Columbia. And then it became a part of my working life, and STS-125 had me so stressed out for the safety of my astronauts and telescope.
I'll never make it into orbit, childhood dreams long gone. But we grew up with that possibility tangible.
