Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ION, Zappos is no longer magic? I haven't ordered from them in years, and am disappointed that the order I placed on Tuesday hasn't even shipped yet, much less arrived! Ah well.

How hard is the exam? What the heck does it cover? So weird.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Dammit, now I have to, like, seriously consider my career and life choices and stuff now.

I can't remember how you get VIP zappos status but that's still always next day. It's got its own website vip.zappos. I've had it for a while but it's not like I buy a Ton of shoes from them.

Um, don't you just have to take a test? Unless the test is a bigger undertaking than I'm imagining.

I pass out study guides for the civil service exam at the library all the time. As a result, I feel qualified to say that Tom Scola can pass the civil service exam. (I am not qualified to say whether or not he wants to.)

NOW you tell me, lisah! After I've already waited TWO DAYS.

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

Ugh, Tom

I'm not worried much about the test; It's just that I'm kind of burned out working in IT, and I sort of want to change careers, but I have no idea what I want to do, and the idea of me being ossified in a civil service job is making me wonder if I want to go through with it.
