Does the world need a combination lipstick dispenser/mp3 player?
If Apple and Chanel teamed up to make a compact that has my face powder, lipstick, and an iPod, I would camp out overnight to buy it. I'm not kidding.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

What the world needs is a subdermal mp3 player with a direct link the auditory nerves. This would be the perfect technology for meetings. OTOH, it could lead to confusing the voices in your head with an audio book.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
There's a good article in The Boston Globe on what makes people gay, using identical twins as an example.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
When the twins were 5, Thomas announced he was going to be a monster for Halloween. Patrick said he was going to be a princess. Thomas said he couldn't do that, because other kids would laugh at him. Patrick seemed puzzled. "Then I'll be Batman," he said.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I just spent NEARLY TWO HOURS absorbedly reading about the Dingoes Ate My Baby case. Gah, why is True Crime (or Not Crime as the case may be) so damned addictive?
I have gotten noooothing done today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of cats and true crime, here's a question that came up in conversation recently: I say my friend is thisclose to being a Crazy Cat Lady due to her constant talking about her cats while knitting (sometimes outfits for the cat) and reading true crime books, even though she is married and about to have a baby. Does that disqualify her from CCL status?

Flea, I spent some of my worst new mother insomnia nights reading true crime sites and hating myself for it.
If I do it again, I'm considering rehab.
