Hi Cybervixen, people are talking about it, in white font, in the literary thread. It starts here: Anne W. "We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good" Jul 16, 2005 7:54:20 am PDT but gets to the juicy pretty quickly.

No! How is this possible? I'm slipping like Rove in a sauna, yo. (Crime must make me stupid, to give me that mental image...oof.) I knew my life was missing something. Now, if they call it "All these mopes in bracelets and not one of 'em's named Osama.", I'll never miss a day. New thing I learned that cool people already know: The use of "sick" as a compliment. As in Hugely Talented Hoop Star takes the court and cornerboy characters say "Whoa. That boy's sick!" and that he's the "illest" thing out there. I suspect I was born on the wrong coast. ETA: Sarameg, that blog is sick! Wish my city had one...I'd be done with my book in a minute and a half. It's wrong that that makes me happy, hmm? No, I'm sad for my adopted city, but at least they are trying to respond, unlike Phoenix, with its one mantra of "Om...Not!LA! Om..." And I feel like "Dude, I've noticed." The worst thing a local right-wing type can say around here, and they think it a giant burn is "If you don't like it, go back to San Francisco!" Oh, no, don't torture me like that!

I used sick the other night, in just that way, erika (about baseball, though). You're making me feel cool and youthful, momentarily anyhow.

Hee. It seems it only started this year, so... I saw mention of it (just above the Mobtown Shank) and thought of you.

It hasn't rained all day today. But it neeeeeds to. My sunglasses fogged up when I took them from inside (75) to outside.

My boyfriend says you are, Cindy. My George...George.(George being kind of a generic for boyfriend in DC, I guess. as in HE: Hey, baby...

SHE: Go away. I got a George.
)

OMG, Sarameg, guess I'm stuck with "It was really bloody. I thought of you."
Stupid accurate reputations!

Nah, it is more "hey, someone as obsessed with B'more as my mom!" But I wouldn't sent THAT to her, cause...no need to freak out mom. She knows the reality, I have no need to remind her of it.

Well, I've had that rep off and on since I was about sixteen, so I wouldn't be surprised. The Balmer thing is new and worse since "The Wire".(my mom's a little confused by this, actually.) I should send you a link to my new, Balmer-fied blog with the sugar factory background so your mom can feel all not alone and stuff.

Happy Belated Birthday to Ouise, jengod and Paul! (I don't think I've ever posted with Paul.)

He has a log in, but has never posted. I don't think he even lurks. But lots of peeps have met him.

Seeing Red, HBP...

So, what? Did Draco try to rape Harry in the WC?

If only, Plei, if only.

Happy birthday, juliana!

I have no interest in Harry Potter.
