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.

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

I don't think the brain damage is severe enough for me to admire JLH, ita.

No, sadly, my brain damage is sufficient to read it that way.

Having the inside of my nose cauterized with sodium chloride when I was about 10. Nothing like somebody intentionally burning your flesh to get your attention.

I have to admit the (two) times I tried self-cauterising my nostril with vinegar do rank on my list. I still toy with getting a professional to do it, but I assume that's more pain, rather than less.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Am I being overly sensitive when I notice that the Fudge Shoppe cookie forman is the only elf of color?

My first thought when I saw that was that it was, at best, in questionable taste. What were they thinking? Then I wondered why they didn't put a redneck elf over the cracker department, and it all went downhill from there.

The cauterizing of the nostril - this would be to prevent or stop too much bleeding? I've never heard of cauterizing a nostril before. And it sounds awful. Think I will knock on wood.

Thrive to spite them

Las Vegas has a random guy in a wheelchair, he gets like a line per ep.

He's really paralyzed. I can't think of his name to save my life, but he was in a soap opera, I can't remember which one but People did an article about him. He's also been in Judging Amy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

There's Geri Jewell (I think that's her name) on Deadwood. She was on Facts of Life, it was all groundbreaking and stuff.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I pitched an additional Web site to a client (my first!) and was all happy when the PO came in.

Now I am staring at code and wondering what the hell I thought was such a good idea.

I took a call from him just now and I think I got us even more work. Wha??

It's like flirting with someone at a bar. It seems like a such a good idea and you're having a drink. There might be sparks. It might be the drinks though. Then suddenly you are looking at them and wondering how to leave.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah...I still follow stuff about her. Both she and Marlee Matlin are married to police officers...I thought that was interesting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

JJL would be great playing you, erika.

I totally hear you all with the "why did I just get myself more work??" because I did it recently, too. Luckily, they wanted me for the whole day, but I have an appt at 11, so I can sleep in, work part of Friday, and some Sunday, and be good to go.

I think I had a point when I started typing that post. Now I think I just want to be in a cool air-conditioned bar.

Of course, I told myself if I got freelance work this month, I'd buy new glasses, but I just got an email from my favorite store about their summer stuff being on sale, and I WANT IT.
