Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Lee, I've recently fallen for the OC, too, and Amyth recently lent me her season one DVDs. So I'm having the fun of watching Seth's trainwreck meeting with Summer's dad in an older episode and then hearing it referenced in last night's episode. Bless those writers who feed me bits of continuity!

I shouldn't have taunted people last night, because work intervened, and I still haven't gotten to watch any of last night's shows. (It seems like WaT was good too). Tonight though, they are all mine.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Well, that's something. From today's Times:

NEW HAVEN, Jan. 13 - In a protest against the Episcopal Church's refusal to allow same-sex marriages, the leaders of a church in the stately East Rock section of this city have announced that they will perform no marriage ceremonies at all.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Confessions of a New Coffee Drinker. Oh dear God above, how I love McSweeney's.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

This was the thought of the day in our e-newsletter:

“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. ~

I love it when people go subversive around here. It makes for much more interesting days.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I went to the trouble of begging off not just this conference call, but the entire project. Yet ... I sit here eavesdropping on the two cubes near me participating in it, and feeding the guy closest to me instant messages to help them along.

I swear I'm paying more attention to it than I'd be if I were actually dialed in.

If I only had a brain...

If you're a lefty and like the climate, you'll adore Corvallis. Exquisite little college town with all the amenities: independent comics shops, used bookstore, farmer's market. If my employer hadn't been wildly unstable, I'd have considered moving there myself.

Also? Where I was born.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

If you're a lefty

It took me a minute to figure out what handedness could possibly have to do with it. I need sleep.
