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.

Art Crawl!!!

ita -- that is my take on things OC too. However, what I want to know is why everyone is assuming that somebody had to give that girl drugs. Surely, she could have brought them herself? Isn't she one of the anonymous group of party-seekers that appeared at the Cooper-Nichols front door?

I had bookclub last night and chose to tape Tru rather than c.s.i. Mostly because I figure that c.s.i. will repeat and Tru won't.

Ann, that's a ferret.

So yesterday the credit card bill came in. I looked things over, and I saw several transactions with a company whose name I didn't recognize. I called the company, and they asked if I'd ever heard of a Wendy P_______ (not my last name).

I don't know anybody named Wendy. I can't even remember the last time I met anybody named Wendy.

So I called the bank. They closed my account and said they'd send me a new card.

I also have to make a couple of calls when I get the new card, because I made a couple of regular monthly payments on the old card.

So far, it looks like (knock wood, cross fingers) the inconvenience will be minor.

Coding and Sleeping

Organizers say they hope to reach more than a million people by distributing the telecast to churches around the country,...

Wouldn't showing that in a church be a violation of their tax status?

I think the mid-term elections are going to be really ugly. I think "activist" judges and gays are going to be the big issues somehow. Unless we attack Iran, on second thought, no somehow they will still be the big issues. I think that's the reason the marriage admendent has faded away for now, to come back just in time for elections.

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

That sounds great, Fred. How ... potentially horrible.

Sumi -- that was definitely my backup thought. Also, arresting a minor as "owner of the house"? Odd.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What a pain the ass, Fred. Actually, that reminds me I should check on my Macy's card fraud...

ita! You're so tough. Good timing, though, right? A Thursday night always seems like the good time for things like this, because you can legitimately miss a day of work, but not have to go back right after that. If that makes any sense.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I think the mid-term elections are going to be really ugly. I

Hell, yes. I really need to think of a way to encourage non-wingnut Christians to stand up and expose these politicians as the hypocrites they are.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Whale-dolphin hybrid has baby wholphin

The young as-yet unnamed wholphin is one-fourth false killer whale and three-fourths Atlantic bottlenose dolphin. Her slick skin is an even blend of a dolphin's light gray and the black coloring of a false killer whale.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

one-fourth false killer whale

Is this a whale who has infiltrated the killer whale gang, sort of like an undercover cop!whale?

All your OC thoughts are mine as well. Also, anyone else just not buying the whole Kirsten having a crush thing? I don't know if it is the writing or what, but it is all anvilly (moreso than usual) and just not...believable.

She'll appreciate me more when I get back, yes?

Hope it isn't the appreciation that manifests itself as being a royal needy pain. Devi won't.shut.up when I first get home. Not even at 4 am. Good thing she's cute and cuddly.

I sense a remake of 21 Jump Street.
