There is WATER falling RIGHT OUT OF THE SKY. It is AWESOME and REALLY FRIGGIN' COLD.
WOOOO!!

Realization

I just realized how much of my financial information was on the flash drive that went walkabout. The latest tax return being the most damning.
So what think you, LJ Brain Trust? How much overlap is there between the sort of person who would discover a flash drive at a public computer with identifying information and then keep it and the sort of person who would use my SSN to apply for a bunch of credit cards and drown me in fraudulent debt?
Respond before my panic attack is over, and win a valuable prize.

Cognitive Dissonance hurts my head.

There has to be a point at which irony disintegrates, leaving a radioactive spray of heavy metal floating in the air for hundreds of years.

The new iPod commercials (New device desirable. Old device undesirable.) proudly proclaim the nifty new feature of the latest technology product. And in the background is a song by Miss Li called "Bourgeois Shangri-La" which is about--wait for it--being surrounded by a consumer culture and trapped in social expectations and the desire to escape it. Kind of a Pleasant Valley iSunday.

If I wrote this into one of my stories, people would complain that I was over the top.
