On the upside, your warning about the Red Line being on the fritz inspired me to go shopping instead of going straight home. I bought a red topless dress and put it right on and walked down into the Fens in the late afternoon and got a frappe. And then got onto the T later, and still had to wait, but they had at least 1/5 of the lightbulbs back on in Central Stn. by then.
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

Oh, excellent. Yeah, I got a strawberry coolatta and walked a lot and vw and I decided to go out for a steak dinner and froofy drinks. All in all, the power outage may well have made it a really good day, albeit a terribly sweaty one (and of course vw suffered much more than I did).
Not that I'm endorsing power outages, of course.

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

If you were walking around topless, I'm suprised you didn't get MORE than a frappe.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That picture is too funny, msbelle.
No comment on the half-naked Nutty. Just not that hot here yet.
Robot friend! And I bet it doesn't care if you're nude.

DH saw two mice (or rats) in our kitchen last night.
This entire week of work is going to be spend unpacking boxes of heavy tapes.
Kill me now.

Have escaped torture by PowerPoint. Have new company T-shirt with cheesy slogan and a plate full of food.
Good that they fed us after, as my rage was pacified by a slice of chocolate chip chocolate cheesecake and Cheetos.

Isn't a topless dress a skirt?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I meant a strapless dress. It only looks topless. On some people. Who are not me.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I've seen too many statistics on the suicide rate among gay teens to sign on to that.
That's what is so disturbing to me about parents committing their children to this sort of program, against the child's will.
I'm sure that the vast majority of such parents are trying to save their kids from that fate as well. They don't want jr. going to hell or fucking a thousand strangers in bathhouses or wearing chaps without pants underneath or killing himself because he's a miserable gay teenager.
They're wrong like wrong things, but to them this is like sending the kid to rehab -- I'm sure rehab is not much nicer and full of rediculous rules to "break a kid down" and all the rest. It's certainly against the kids will and short of a court order propbably violates their civil rights just as much.
