Hey, Cowgirl! Go you with your mad survey skillz!
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
an opponent of his conservative views doused him with salad dressing.
Salad dressing?? Is there some political content to roughage I don't know about? I mean, there is political theatre, and then there is "What I had in my fridge" theatre.
As for Ayelet Waldman, I am squirmy about all kinds of confessional writing, so I was made squirmy about her NYT column. Some people draw the curtain in different places from where I do. When I say potentially cruel or hurtful things about people who care about me, I change their names to Bob and Binky.
Which is not to say that the real people cannot tell that they are Bob and Binky, but I am all about the cloak of deniability. (And anyway, whoever said that thing about all novelists being traitors? Said it about novelists, so the Bob and Binky component is key.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.
In Kalamazoo?
Shrift, where you last night???

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Go you with your mad survey skillz!
Hee! Except, I just went and looked at the individual responses and more than one person said they'd be willing to talk more, but didn't leave their name or contact info. Oops. Not sure if there was a way to avoid that, though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Congratulations, Jim and Penny!
And also moonlit, who I haven't seen in ages os she probably won't see this, but I'm happy for her.
Ack. Co-worker is insisting on talking about Terri Schiavo. I'd avoided discussing that up until now. Not only going on about her opinion, but asking don't I agree with her? Just get your coffee and go away, woman!
Hell, now office mate's boss is in the conversation. Sigh.

Here's an article about a famous April Fool's day hoax. Made me happy to read it. [link]

I just changed my profile address to keep up with the name change, but I probably won't use the new address. People should just keep using the old address.

As for Ayelet Waldman
I liked that column. Didn't bother me in the slightest. If she's raising her children with the same kind of honesty that she shows in her writing, they're not going to be surprised when they read it and they're not going to doubt that she loves them. It felt to me like "I love my children lots and lots, but I love my husband even more."
