I've spent the past two nights sleeping in my butterfly chair instead of my bed. You know those people who can fold themselves into tiny little balls and fit themselves in boxes? This is like that, except I'm not getting paid for it.

If you'll excuse me, I have to go work on my zombieficathon story with my feet looped around my ears.

EDIT: All of the music that I have on my Zen, and I continue to only listen to the score of Unbreakable while I write. Sheesh.

OTHER EDIT: Senators to push for $100 gas rebate checks. Okay, here's the thing. Dear government, STOP GIVING ME MONEY. Ignoring all the other bullshit in the article about opening Alaska and fucking with the environment, which everybody else is doing a fine enough job complaining about so I don't have to, that $300 tax break you assholes gave me six years ago? Yeah, that was really nice and all, but when tax season rolled around the next year, I ended up having to PAY IT THE FUCK BACK. For the first time ever, I didn't get shit back at tax season. So I don't even want to think about what you'll ask me for six months after giving me a gas rebate check. Maybe I should be glad I don't even have any firstborn children, although I should probably sign over my immortal soul to my mother just in case of an emergency.

SON OF OTHER EDIT: Republican politicians in prostitution scandal. *giggles* As I said to calligrafiti, at least Clinton didn't have to pay for it.

This is the first sentence I read of this post. Let me just say that, taken entirely out of context, it threw me for one heck of a loop.

All of the music that I have on my Zen, and I continue to only listen to the score of Unbreakable while I write. Sheesh.

I remember loving that music, so think this is fully understandable.

Oh, it's great for writing really sad, angsty stuff, and considering how much angsty SPN fanfic I've written lately, it's been getting a workout. I guess I'm just in the mood for a new score to listen to, because it's been on continuous loop the last few weeks.

I listen to the score from the Villiage on repeated loops myself. I think M.Night is rather good at finding composers for his movies. :)

I've been meaning to get The Village just for something different. You're right, the scores for his movies are awesome, and great with the atmosphere. :)

Gas Rebate? I don't even fucking drive, why should I be helping to pay people who can't lay off the GIANT FUCKING SUVs they don't need to be driving? And then tying it in with opening ANWR? Grrrrrrr. When this shit happened in the 70s people just bought FUEL EFFICIENT CARS (ie, rice rockets).

Alternately, we could do the crazy thing of taking all those $100s and looking into all those growing reports of corruption and racketeering on "every single level" of the oil industry.

Actually, I was wondering the reverse: if the government's gonna give a C-note to people whether they drive cars or not. But either way, yeah, I think it's a stupid idea, and hardly a solution.

Fricking morons. Yes, let's reward people for their gas-guzzling. I'm pretty sure I read that Senator Specter had a better idea- a windfall tax for oil companies. *evil cackle*

I find it amusing that I could get a $100 gas refund and my primary mode of transportation is my two legs.

Granted, I think the government should give me more since I'm obviously conserving gas by not having a car, right? Yes, I'm kidding.

I find it really amusing to watch the bitching and moaning about gas prices since the US has the lowest gas prices in the First World (because we don't pay significant taxes on it).

When I was in Japan five years ago they were paying the equivalent of about $2 ... PER LITER. That's more than $7 per gallon at a time when US consumers were paying $1.50.

Not that I want to feed the oil companies profits or anything, but it seems obvious to me that gas prices aren't high enough since they haven't yet forced everyone to switch to hybrids and use public transit.

On a different note-I rarely comment because a more than decade long habit of lurking is hard to break, but I await your new fics with the desperation of a crack addict contemplating mugging someone for the cash for their next hit.

Your peeks into Sam's life at Stanford seem so real that I have a tendency to forget that they aren't canon.

Illegal war? Ehhhh, it kind of bothers us. Going into massive debt? Do what now? Rising gas prices? OMFG, kill kill!
