If someone gripes about the heat one more time...

To the people I live with and/or work for,

Please stop stating the obvious. "It's hot" seems to be some maddening new mantra. It's not going to get cooler if you keep saying it. In fact, it makes it seem hotter to the people who have to listen to you, who are also feeling the heat. Have a little consideration for your fellow man and SHUTTIT!

That said... It turns out the dog that trotted through the store the other day was a beagle, not a basset hound puppy, like I thought. Don't ask me why I get those breeds mixed up...

31_days Drabbles: Two for "A. I.: Artificial Intelligence", one "

Three for the price of one: the two "A.I." ones are the first fics I've written for this fandom in a long time, the second being an idea that just came out of *nowhere*, though I think listening to one of the CDs I burned of Bryan "Pazu" Harrison's fan-novelization had something to do with it. The one "Matrix" fic is a preview of the fan-novel I'm writing based on the Merovingian's backstory.
