That Fit, We Tint"

Siberia, USA: Today, global warming. Tonight, dark, unless you count the stars. Tomorrow can be reached via time machine. Yesterday, who can remember that far back?

The Mirror: Glasses of empty water

The Mirror: Mirror Mirror, shining clearer, behold!
W: What do you see?
M: Why do I forget this totally perplexing mystery that informs every moment of my waking life?
W: Is the mystery the same old "meaning of life" question?
M: It's not that I myself have achieved not being in control.
W: Control may edge out meaning.
M: How many fingers have I?
W: I would say five or ten, but that would be boring.
M: I see at least three other mirrors reflected in the mirror.
W: I see them too.
M: "I am," she said.
W: Is she a mirror?
M: Probably because that would take too much time away from your obsession!
W: My current obsession is 2D barcodes.
M: What's operating here?
W: An operating system?
M: I certainly would like to do that.
W: You'd like to design an operating system?
M: I don't know what to say to that.
W: Windows 7 is coming up.
M: See?
W: I can't "see" the system.
M: An empty glass which once held water stood on a small metal table.
W: It's important for artists and scientists to stay hydrated.
M: I would say five or ten, but that would be boring.
W: Five or ten artists and scientists stood around, drinking glasses of empty water.
M: Does your library have steam radiators?
W: Sadly, no, because I love the curlicues on the old radiators.
M: Is she a mirror?
W: Is a radiator "she" due to warmth?
M: Doubled, coagulate of doubling.
W: Thickening pudding or soup or stew of news and thought.
M: Five or ten artists and scientists stood around, drinking glasses of empty water.
W: Give them some stew!
M: Oh, you know that?
W: I know how to make evaporated soup packets.
M: I came in to see you, and you presented me with a wall.
W: I am hurt, I thought we were getting somewhere.
M: The skewed and lateral knowledge is alone decisive.
W: Tangents may be important for creatives.
M: I don't have as much money as an ATM!
W: I know, the client is always worried about the budget.
M: This does not seem possible.
W: Well, they just told me my computer time was up.
M: You wait for the floodgates to open?
W: Bye!
M: Closing in 1 second ... Goodbye!
