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.
Thanks Cindy!
Good morning to you!
Good morning to you!
We're all in our places
with bright shiney faces!
Good morning to you!
I have a lot of home/lifestyle maintenance I really should be doing, but eh. Laundry, cleaning the bathroom, doing the dishes? Fuckit.
My mother used to sing that goddamn song in the morning to get me up. It never had the effect it sings about.
Mine too.
Hey everyone. Congratulations, Sue!
I went to an information session last night for the library school I'm applying to for the fall. I can't believe I'm (probably) going back to school.
I'm watching the Sox/Yankees game on NESN and they have James Taylor on and the commentator says, "I hear you live out west now, James." JT says "Yes, that's true. I live in Lennox, Mass."
You small-y yankees are weird.
Heh. I had to read this a couple of times through before I understood the weirdness. I grew up in Eastern Mass. and now live in Western Mass., and to me the above exchange makes perfect sense.
So, I'm looking at news headlines, and this one is dying for better punctuation: Jackson Begged to Sleep with Boy-Child's Mother. I mean, right? It should be a colon, or at least a dash-not-a-hyphen. MJ was begging to sleep with the kid, says the mother.
Mine too.
Our mothers were sick sick sick people. Cruel. Evil. Twisted.
In the mornings, at least.
Congratulations, SUe, on both the finishing and the free day!
Well, but JT has always been a western Mass. guy. Like, I wouldn't know what the last exit on the Pike is, except he names it in "Sweet Baby James." (Stockbridge.)
What's more salient is that Lenox is the chi-chi town of western Mass. Not that JT would necessarily fit in in Greenfield or Belchertown.
Those rings the Red Sox gave out are ENORMOUS. Like, I know, male athletes, big hands, big fingers, but -- the top of the ring, where the logo fits, is easily wider around than a $0.50 piece. It is practically a demitasse saucer. I spent some time wondering who wears rings so big they wouldn't fit into an eyesocket, till I realized that was kind of a creepy comparison to make.
