In the UK the skies were just a weird post-apocalyptic yellow-orange for several hours. A bit eery, but it blew over.

Cybereyes. All the cool kids are implanting them.

I actually really like the ones at the bottom left. Très cyber chic.

Excellent choice. When do you want them installed?
...you'll have to leave your door unlocked overnight. Also, do you have any allergies to sedatives, painkillers, anaesthetics, non-carbon alloys, plastics, or baby seals?

I....I thought you had a set of master keys to all our houses?

Canada is in mourning.

Gord Downie has died.

Had a monumental bad dream last night that was really unusual for me. I was arrested, put on written notice at work for a bunch of lies about things that I allegedly did, and had hit men out to kill me. I hope today is a good day?

Considering, most never live a life so important a mistake on their part will lead to the hiring of not one but several hitmen to take them out. Also, presumably, dream you is too competent for a single hitman to be considered sufficient.

I am bummed now about the mafia-dying thread.

I think this is the main plot point for Daniel O'Malleys The Rook. Did you also lose your memory and have super-powers?

STOP HELPING HER DAMMIT.

I had a dream I won a trip to some factory, and when I arrived there was candy everywhere. It was so tempting. I knelt before a great chocolate river, to have my fill. I fell in, pulled by its rush, and feared I was a goner. Fortunately, I was drawn into some sort of conduit, maybe a collection pipe belonging to the factory. I was soaked in chocolate, and stuck in the pipe, with pressure building. Then I heard a loud pop, like a cork being released from a wine bottle, and I woke up. Gotta say, one of the best dreams I ever had.

I can't remember if I lost my memory.


So far:

• I'm not magnetic
• Flying didn't work
• No super strength

I did however get someone to buy me a bottle of seltzer water without asking. So maybe I have mind control?

Me too Gusty. I've been refreshing for days waiting to see happy updates.

[Mentalist]

randomly ran into a girl from my res floor in 1st year undergrad today on the subway. Did a brief catch-up, as we haven't spoken since like 2009 when we all graduated.

getting home it made me feel old, b/c at this point I can barely recall undergrad. So many things happened since then, I feel like I'm a completely different person from who I was back then.

You do not have mind control.Or lasers in your eyes.Also, that odd new tingling bump in your right forearm is neither claws, nor an espresso machine.
You should go to sleep now.

What a day to wake up to. Its as dark as night and pouring rain. I think I should just go back to bed.

Truck shopping. I'm rolling through lots and avoiding the fast walking approaching vultures. My goodness it's annoying but necessary to deal with.

Here's how you avoid them: Figure out what you want and are willing to pay (i acknowledge you may have to deal with a few for test drives, but that's just how it works and you can flat out tell them you are only there to test, then deflect the 'what do i have to do today to get you into a blah blah blah).


Email it to every dealer you're willing to deal with (due to geography, rep, brand, whatever).

If your offer is fair/realistic, you will typically get two kinds of responses:
- yes, that is an offer we will accept; or,
- maybe maybe maybe, come on in and let's talk about it.

Go see the ones who send you the first response.
If you don't get the first response from anyone at all, your offer wasn't realistic or you're shopping in a shark pool, extend your range.

For years I have been pondering what super power I would prefer: invisibility or teleportation. When the answer was so obvious all along. An espresso machine arm. Please, cosmic radiation, make it happen.

You should leave a ground level window unlatched at night so the cosmic radiation can get to you.

And cookies. Lots of cookies. Otherwise you could end up with decaf.

Throw in some whiskey and you might get a steamer finger and retractable adamantium tamper.
