Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I think both Tommyrot and Beth might be right.

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

Shouldn't he wait a little longer so it doesn't seem so non-coincidental?

Hollywood hunk Matt Damon has reportedly proposed to his bartender girlfriend Luciana Barroso after a one year courtship. The Bourne Supremacy star, 34, began dating the aspiring interior designer in April 2004 and brought her to Europe during filming on Ocean's Twelve last summer. A friend tells American magazine Us Weekly, "It's very hush-hush." When asked to confirm or deny the reports, Damon's spokesperson had no comment. The couple are currently house-hunting in Barroso's hometown of Miami, Florida, and looking at schools for the beauty's six-year-old daughter Alexa.

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

Kristen came over and helped me move furniture to make room for my new loveseat, which is actually 71" so it's almost a couch.

I think I have to move my desk. I think. But it will be roomier and pretty and people can come over and SIT!

I think it'll be here in two weeks. That'll give me a bit of time to do a bit more redecorating. And then I'll have to have people over for snacks and sitting.

Shouldn't he wait a little longer so it doesn't seem so non-coincidental?

So I'm not the only one struck by the image of an impromptu duet of "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better," eh?

What is even happening?

It means holy blue,
Okay, good, because that's what I told the kids. They heard it on a cartoon, and I was fairly certain that was the literal translation.
[...]but I think it's because it rhymes with sacre dieu, holy god. It's like the french equivalent of jeepers. I think.
Ah. For a brief, shining moment, my world makes sense. Thanks, Jesse.
Is it wrong that I am now trying to think of six unique messages that I would want on a Scrolling Belt Buckle?
Yes, Partyman. Yes.
We went to Children's Fairyland today (in Oakland, near Lake Merritt. Purportedly Walt's inspiration for Disneyland) because my co-editor begged me to drag Emmett along since adults can't go unattended by a child.
I was wondering what JZ was referring to, when she mentioned it, in Bitches. I didn't know if it was a place, or if she was just being poet about Emmett's imagination.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

The bleu in sacre bleu! might also refer to the so-called Marian Blue color that is associated with The Virgin You-Know-Who. FWIW, I've been told that merde is a relatively minor curse in French, they reserve the really strong ones for religious terms.

Timelies!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Certainly in Quebec that's the case.
