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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Susan, I'm not familiar with either of those movies. So can't help there, except to note that a number of Buffistas have fought for Sean Bean as SCB.

Is it time for your husband to take Annabel out for an afternoon (or morning, or evening) while you lounge with a decadent snack for a double feature?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

They just wanted to know how I find speakers and get them to come here.

I said, "I just read the paper and salon.com, check out who's authoring interesting things, and call."

I'm so frustrated. I should start charging fees.

What is even happening?

Did Jilli link Princess TickyBox's picture over here, too? If not, it's in min's lj.

Thanks, aurelia and Vonnie K.

Of the list, I'm afraid the right-side heart failure option is the most likely. Mom's had heart problems for a while now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

David, you know Phil is on The E! Hollywood Hold'Em show, right?

I was just googling him, and saw that he's the dealer. Then I checked his earnings. Shit! Phil is rich. He so owes me dinner. I can't tell you how many times I made him dinner when he lived in San Francisco. It was so funny reading poker boards where everybody had an opinion on him. Phil is 100% motivated by What's Fun. Anybody that thinks he's pumping it up for TV is dead wrong. He's also brilliantly smart, so people that think he's coasting on luck couldn't be more off. Phil's biggest flaw as a gambler (though probably his biggest calling card as a tv personality) is that he's too bold.

I don't know why people keep calling him Irish, though. I think he was born in Ireland, but he's an American citizen and spent his whole life here. Also, it's interesting that his bio keeps portraying him as somebody who just happened to stumble into poker a few years ago. Shit, he was a backgammon hustler for 10 years - he damn well knew every game that had money at stake. He purposefully applied himself (and he can be incredibly crazy-focused) to learn poker because there was more action there.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Susan, I've sort of seen Bravo Two Zero, if it's the one I think it is. Sean Bean as British soldier during Gulf War? I think it's fairly intense but worth watching, as a Bean fan. Plus, if you have a non network-censored version, there's nudity. Not erotic nudity, but still. I didn't pay all that much attention to it because war movies are generally Not My Thing.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Susan, I'm not familiar with either of those movies. So can't help there, except to note that a number of Buffistas have fought for Sean Bean as SCB.

And I've got a longstanding claim, too.

Is it time for your husband to take Annabel out for an afternoon (or morning, or evening) while you lounge with a decadent snack for a double feature?

Problem is, I spend so much time on choir and writing activities--weekly Wednesday choir rehearsals plus alternate Sundays where I have to be at both morning services, Monday night writers group, Seattle Romance Writers of America once a month, writers conference planning meetings once a month, plus I've just added a monthly Regency critique group. It already feels like half the time when he gets home I hand him the baby and run. I'm really insanely busy, but I love what I'm doing.

Yep, that's the one, Dana.

Gnerg. I just had my favorite pain in the ass throw attitude at me. Used to it from him, but snippy snippy. If I tell you that your problem is systemic, not specific to the interface and you need to talk to IT, just do it. I am not your personal assistant. Your problem is not my fault and what's more? I can't fix your problem.

How is it a 40+ year old fairly well known professional can achieve such when they have the personality of a 3 year old in need of a nap? Sheesh.
