You and your Mexican hat dance obsession ;-) Every time my phone rings I crack up now, seriously. I need a less cackle-inducing ringtone!

I really love the way Jeff reacts to Greg the GPS suddenly talking to him and revealing himself to be this all-knowing, sentient being. He's startled, but then he just accepts it. It's like, it's SO bizarre that if he acknowledges HOW bizarre it is by freaking out, he would have to also acknowledge that he just may be losing his mind

It's awesome that you've picked up on that, because I tried to write this whole fic like I was tilting reality on a slight angle, you know? I wanted to make the landscape just slightly hyperbolic, and within that landscape I wanted fantastic things to be suddenly plausible and ordinary. It's not so much suspension of disbelief, more that I was trying to shift the reader's disbelief benchmark ever so slightly. Jeff doesn't question Greg's existence because in this universe, his existence is within the realm of possibility. I'll know I've done my job as a writer if the reader accepts Jeff's (non)reaction to Greg as equally plausible.
