Good morning!" in a load cheery tone, she groaned out load with the realization that it was Saturday, and after that affair ... up, I might as well take a look at the rest of those Rasssjemani-Quazaric-Smith Equations and see why they were causing all those robots to go psycho," she thought.

As she got out ... equations! She only needed a small period of time to warm up, and the wakeup-breakfast-come to work routine sufficed.

- A Camera's Eye Here I sit, in some coffeehouse somewhere, staring into the face of the person in front of me as she rambles on about the happenings of her day.

Pan right, soft lighting... ...

- 3367: Location Analysis of a Franchise Resturaunt
- ... home of many previous restaurant failures. It seems odd that any restaurant would want to open in a location which has proven to be unsuccessful.
