I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

What got your attention that started you listening?

There was a long Sherlock fic about Mycroft and Lestrad, and in it Lestrad was a big Clash fan. The author included some titles, so I looked them up on YouTube and enjoyed them. My upstairs neighbor learned I was interested and introduced me to Strummer's later work. I think I have most of it now. It's great to have on when I'm cleaning or baking.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There's a local church that is actively trying to recruit gamers and geeks, and has a booth with a bunch of swag emblazoned with JESUS (hearts) GAMERS!, and images of Jesus holding an Xbox controller. I am a bad person for finding this hilarious, right?

I sincerely hope they also think it's hilarious. Due to it being hilarious.

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

A friend of mine is at ECCC. I'm going to tell her that if she sees you, Jilli, she should come up and tell you she knows me. If you don't mind.

It just seems weird when people I know are at the same venue and they don't know each other.

I don't mind at all!

Today is my day off from the show, as I've got other things I need to take care of. But Pete is there, and then we'll both be back at his table tomorrow.

Excellent! My worlds will collide. I believe she has crashed already - she works nights and is zombified. But she'll be there tomorrow.

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

right? I thought they called them "churches", but apparently I'm a godless freak who doesn't know Jesus.

I also thought they called them churches too, and I had no idea they accepted CREDIT CARDS. What the what?!?

Donning blackface for a costume is in poor taste.

How do people not know this yet?

We spent the morning at Google LA. After the event they gave us a tour. I knew they had lots of food and games there, but it still amused me that they have a little cafe set up every 50 feet or so. Because God forbid you have to walk too far for coffee.

I'm sure a "Christian Center" is a bigger thing than just a church -- probably a school, maybe a store, lots of space for small groups, etc -- my uncle's church has a Starbucks.

Because awake parishoners are more fun.

Absolutely.

OMG, I went to CVS with a list of two things, didn't look at the list, and forgot one of them! I swear.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It's using stolen credit card to buy anything at a Christian Center I find peculiar. This is perhaps colored by my reading the Golden Calf episode today.

Sounds like you are shopping like I do, Jesse.
