YaY! It's Friday!

YaY! Consuela's back!

Still smiling about the cuteness that was OC. Already forgot the not cute parts.

Consuela being back is indeed a good thing!

Even though I woke up at 4:30, I'm still feeling pretty good. We'll see if this feeling lasts after I get to work....

I hope so Theo. Being sick over the weekend would not be a good plan.

From Wired:

Semenchanted Evening
An Illinois man has won the right to sue his ex-girlfriend for using his sperm to impregnate herself without his permission. Richard Phillips, a family doctor in Chicago, says he never had intercourse with Sharon Irons, also a doctor. They did, however, have oral sex three times during their brief affair; Irons apparently saved some of Phillips' semen and secretly impregnated herself with it. Phillips broke off the relationship when he discovered Irons had lied to him about being divorced. Two years later, she sued him for child support, and DNA tests showed he is the father. While the Illinois Appellate Court ruled that Phillips can sue for emotional distress, it rejected his claims of fraud and theft, agreeing with Irons' lawyers that "when plaintiff 'delivered' his sperm, it was a gift.... There was no agreement that the original deposit would be returned upon request."

Fans of the Star Trek: Enterprise TV show are protesting the show's cancellation with street demonstrations in Los Angeles, New York, Washington, London and Tel Aviv.

Trekkies are holding rallies worldwide on Friday to bring attention to their cause. Rallies will be held at the Paramount studios in Los Angeles and at the offices of CBS and the Sci-Fi channel in New York. Additional rallies are set for the local Fox affiliate in Washington, D.C., the offices of the BBC and Channel 4 in London, and at Tel Aviv University in Israel.

tommyrot, I gotta go with the woman's lawyers, myself. Did he say he wanted it back? Did he stipulate, aforehand, that it was only for certain uses?

Also? LMAO

I think her suing for child support is a bit much.

Now I'm imagining hearing the following during a sex scene:

This.... is not.... a GIFT!!

OK, I think I'm going to abandon this line of thinking....

Oooh yes... yes... Yes! Gift me baby!

I think her suing for child support is a bit much.

I agree.

Congrats to ita on the new apartment.

I've been sending resumes hither and yon. Mostly hither. But, a little bit yon. And I've been very carefully ignoring the thought of the apartment hunting issues that will follow should anything come of them. I've been in my current place for six years now, which is the longest I've lived in one spot since 1983. I wonder what I'll find behind my bookcases? Possibly my lost innocence. Or at least a shiny nickle.

sperm, the gift that keeps on giving
