I didn't break my hand yesterday. I thought I ought to say that, at least. Did anyone?

I don't believe in punishment for the masses for the sins of one, but I suppose that might make me in the majority. In this case I think I'll just put the rest of my energy into a new project. Perhaps one, that when I finish it, I'll sell.

[There's the sound of metal on metal, and then an odd clicking, like heels on cement. The singing is low and soft, like she doesn't want to be heard]

The itsy-bitsy spider went up the water spout,
Down came the rain and washed the spider out,
Up came the sun and dried up all the rain,
And the itsy-bitsy spider went up the spout again.

The law of averages suggests that the most random of events will balance out. That what we have no control over isn't inherently out to get us or out to help us. That luck is chance and chance is a mathematical formula ( Read more... )

[The camera is expertly handled this time, and it shows the Garage. Saya is currently dressed to nines in expensive couture, as usual, despite the fact that she's working on cars.

Snap, snap, snap, snap, break.

I think there's too much attributed to the idea of omens. Is it poor taste not to believe in them? Maybe it's a lack of ascribing fear into my everyday life that makes me unable to see the point. If we die, we die. If we die but know we're going to die, how does that ( Read more... )

The harpies are gone, and if you are not Rosella, and you are not out of the Warehouse by midnight, I will personally incinerate your belongings.

And I don't particuarly feel inclined to clean up after you, so if you leave a mess, I will not be pleased.

Haai? Ek is verlore...ek het honger, ek soek na nanny...

Family, family, family.

Is that what people are looking for?

Hello, and welcome to the City. Don't touch the cars, unless you're paying. The cars, they don't want to be touched. Ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous, I want to eatThis is an odd place. To spew in visitors and spew them back out. It's like it wants people to be upset when they see ( Read more... )
