also also! ooh, I'm a little het up! he claims in his thread to be coining a "reverse" Bors. but… but he's just doing the cartoon, straightforward

"We should improve society somewhat (by amending our coordination to accommodate diverse sleep patterns)." "Yet you participate in society. Curious!"

his post just above that one sucks, too. "You didn’t dislike capitalism! You disliked authority!" no maybe they disliked an authority that consumed human beings and was answerable only to eternal growth and profit! you know, like CAPITALISM!

*resists urge to start quoting "The Grapes of Wrath"*

the design was so elegant: a box, a rod, a gear/wheel. expand/contract/rearrange/reconfigure into whatever you could imagine with a word of command

actually I don't know if this counts as a character but the idea of Glitch from that show was massively influential on my pretend play

jk the real answer is Hexadecimal from ReBoot

(hands on me)
hands me on

srsly tho I'd been dreaming of that adventure path. I'd prepared myself for it. the flaming pileup just accelerated the transition

we saw four humpback whales in pairs who came quite close to the boat

spied a couple dolphins, I believe, tho they were tough to make out among the waves

right whales were migrating, but didn't see any today

it was quite cold, especially at speed, glad I wore layers

say hello to Boston Light

they gave out free ginger chews on the boat to help with sea sickness (a malady which thankfully has always spared me), and I immediately thought of Stubb. "Ginger!—what the devil is ginger?"

unlike Ishmael, I will not be going to sea as a sailor. I have a whale watching "rain check" voucher in my purse, from when we got caught in the open Atlantic in an actual factual gale

(that's right we went GALE watching that day)

lessee, when my mom was my age, I was… *arithmetics* 16, going on 17

different lives and different times

good girl

I mean good morning
