Noisy Signals

#vss365
After the divorce, Claire spent a lot of time #learning to be herself again.

One should never change for love. Even if you are a werewolf.

#vss365
“Upon #reflection, we’ve decided not to expel you but give you another chance.”

Yeah, upon reflecting the envelope of cash my father slid each of you.

#vss365
“ #Timed release my aszzzz-“

I grabbed the steering wheel as my dad and I learned a hard lesson about warnings on OTC drugs, specifically the “not to drive or operate heavy machinery” clause.

#vss365
There was just something…odd about how the nun said the doll was “ #relevant to our interests.”

#vss365
“That seems like an #achieveable goal.”

I really didn’t like how my sensei said that.

“But do you have the will?”

I flew against the wall from a punch I never saw.

#vss365
“Arms up and out.” His tape flies out and my #measurements are tapped into a tablet. “Wedding?”

“No.”

“Fancy party?” His hands go around my waist.

“No. Funeral.”

“Even if it’s yours, you still got to return the suit.” He half jokes.

I wish I could guarantee the return of the suit.

#vss365
She means to be helpful: she’s paid on commission. “Can I help you?”

I try to be polite. “Just lookin’.”

“Anything #specific you interested in?” Business is slow.

I hesitate on the truth.

She senses it and pounces. “Maybe there’s something in the back that might interest you.”

Well if the guy can afford the Death Star, he can afford a few weeks of…help.

I was struggling to think of a set that could be done in 1-2 hours. Maybe longer if you consider they are both experts and know what they are doing.

#vss365
“Lookin’ for some #action, honey?” She’s obviously working, which is good because I’m obviously looking.

“Yeah, but I’m looking for something special.”

She notices the bag. “Like what?”

Nervous, I let her peek.

After, she thinks for a bit. “Double.”

I agree. It IS a big LEGO set.

#vss365
“So what are our #options now?” We have an slightly higher number of interdimensional breaches in our lab.

“Thanks to George, we’re missing half of the emergency handbook!” But we had the important part.

“Your lack of creativity is depressing!” The piglet taped to the drone whizzed by.

#vss365
Of course she didn’t want to deal with the #reality of the situation: she had spent her whole life avoiding things. She was good at it. Or at least, she was good at it now. Why would this be any different?

She slipped out the side door of the church, wedding gown and all.

#vss365
No real #goal, just make it to another day, maybe a bit happier if I can manage it.

#vss365
“There’s no #issue here, Officer.”

But of course, there was.

#vss365
“Shit! First, inbound’s late. Logistics is fouled up. The plan’s breaking down! We need some #transport now!”

“It’s called getting an Uber.” My husband can be so dramatic.

It took me half of November to get to #Florence+TheMachine latest.

It’s beautiful but harsh in places I didn’t expect.

It’s a bottle of scotch with your friend you haven’t talked to in a year and a half and finding out she had a Bad Year.

So you listen.
And just be there for whatever she says.

Some sort of great logical leap by showing if pigs can fly, anything’s possible.

#vss365
Henry burst into the lab with a piglet duct taped to a drone under his arm.

“Never say the #science isn’t there!”

#vss365
“I’m sorry everyone. We’ve looked at the #numbers and…they aren’t good. We can’t even manage expectations on this. Tom, your numbers are dismal. Anna, you’re obviously distracted. There is no choice: some of you are going to have to go.”

Kindergarten is hard these days, sighed Calvin.

#vss365
“The #myth of the perfect man eludes us again,” the leader of the cult of women proclaimed. They gathered their belongings and tents to move to the next village on their quest.

They never suspected that their goal was so close, in the young sons that watched them attentively.

#vss365
What is the #measure of a person but the whisper of their actions and the echoes of the consequences?

#vss365
Tim often wondered what the #literature of the human soul was.

It often got him extra punishment for not meeting his quota in the mines.

#vss365
“IT’S A FUCKIN’ $200 AMAZON GIFT CARD! IT’S FUCKIN’ GOOD EVERYWHERE!”

The #laws of the Underworld are pretty strict. Charon’s payment is to a be coin, no matter the denomination.

This would be a hard lesson for the recently deceased cashless to learn.

#vss365

“Of course I loved her,” my dad looked directly at me. “She had the stars in her eyes and know the #language of the seas.”

It became very clear to me that his first love was a boat.

#vss365
“Past #history is not indicative of future performance.”

Funny how that’s supposed to be reassuring in investment with finances but
it’s absolute disaster when investing in relationships.

#vss365
I fell in love with your vistas from afar. But when I got to know you deeper, I found the #geography of your soul lacking. The lush forest hid a strip-mined heart, scarred by your own fear and greed.

#vss365
“It’s tough being #famous. Especially in NYC. So many people want you. Either for a picture or to do something to take part of your fame. Don’t get me wrong, the town is great but it’s hard and forces you to change. Ya’ gotta adapt to survive here. Or leave.”

The Pizza Rat kept it real.

one day, i will learn to read my stuff thoroughly before i post. was -> wasn’t

#vss365
It was the #education he had expected: he had wanted to be a caddy instead of a janitor at the country club.

He soon learned that once people stop seeing you and get comfortable around you, you see who they really are. Knowledge of their true selves was incalculable.
