Alias - damn Jack and Sloan and their cryptic and incomplete conversations!
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think I'm missing lots of backstory on Alias. Still, it's entertaining. I love that the opening credits didn't happen until 20 minutes in.

If I only had a brain...
This is why I gave money to Medecins Sans Frontieres, who do not mess with people's heads, and who go to tragedies that aren't fashionable.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I've been thinking that maybe it would be nice to have an LJ community for asking food and cooking type questions, so I created one, called foodistas. I was thinking it could be a place to post great new recipes, or ask food questions, or recommend a new restaurant or whatever people want.

Here's the way I see tsunami donations:
Every year I try to give to world-poverty organizations. This year, the organizations are going to have the same set of problems to deal with they always have, plus the tsunami. It is going to cost more this year to provide basic medical care, because many of the places that need it don't have refrigerators or electric power or roads any more.
I need to give more overall because this is going to be a more expensive year overall.

You know what is a terrible look? capri pants and boots.
Seriously. Why?
If it's cool enough to wear boots, it's too cold to wear capris.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm not going to argue in favor or against any particular organization, but I will say that extra money can still be used for good. The place I used to work got a ton of post-9/11 money that they used for counseling children and families who really needed it, but not because of 9/11 -- because of their lives. There was all this extra money floating around, and we could make the argument that even though these families weren't directly affected, it was just one more thing on top of a zillion others, and we got the money, because there was more than they knew what to do with.
Granted, there are a lot of places in the world where "extra" money would be less likely to go to something good. But there are organizations that you can know do all they can to make sure their resources are helping people.

Oh, man. I saw this woman the other day who was just tragic. (OK, not tragic like the tsunami. I contain multitudes.) She had her jeans rolled up with Mukluks or some shit, and a white belt, AND the jeans were low-rise and tight enough that she had a bulge over the top. And she was skinny. OY.
