Jayne ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
So what are people doing for the weekend?
Tonight: Mariners game with dw and Annabel.
Tomorrow: RWA meeting, followed by lunch with writer types.
Sunday: First church service with choir since the spring. Writers conference planning meeting.
A bit busier than ideal, but it's baseball, singing, and hanging out with writers. I like.
One more for the caboose on the Train to Hell:
While on the tour [of the Astrodome] with top administration officials from Washington, including U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao and U.S. Treasury Secretary John W. Snow, DeLay stopped to chat with three young boys resting on cots.
The congressman likened their stay to being at camp and asked, "Now tell me the truth boys, is this kind of fun?"
No, there will be a recreation of the Thunderdome where the citizens were trapped, floor slick with shit and rotting bodies shoved in corners, and that is where all the incompetent holes who bungled disaster relief will be held, for all eternity.
Allyson even plans good Hell. Now, that's an event planner.
Yahoo headline:
FEMA head replaced, dead collected -
If only it were literal.
Oh, man. It's clear that the attempt is to be jovial and lightening spirits, but they're getting the scale all wrong. I almost feel sorry for them, and then I think, nobody's making them open their mouths.
To be honest, politics in the "needless bureaucracy and ego" sense aside, I would be uneasy with Bush invoking something called the "Insurrection Act" as well. On the other hand, my Math Thinking Skills teacher was talking on Wednesday about the hierarchy of "properties of people you want to hire": a decent human being, a person who can do the job, a person who masters the job, and finally someone who can adapt to changing circumstances and figure out how to do a job that nobody has done before. Which seems to have been the problem here. Maybe all presidential candidates should have to face the Kobayashi Maru.
I was speechless, because your hair -- which was still long and brown and shiny -- was also masses and masses of big loopy curls.
Clearly I had taken a detour back to junior high on the way to your office.
Now picturing shrift in kayle's dress from Firefly and making a ribbon bouquet for the bride to be and playing shower games.
Reality's a little closer to me in a Batman & Robin t-shirt mixing a Captain and Diet for the bride to be and playing 'how soon can we blow this popsicle stand and go to the bar?' games.
What a disgusting person the reverend is! But everyone here thinks that, I'm sure.
His title was "Rep." not "Rev."
This news story is sort of how I think Allyson will be at age 93.

A 93-year-old woman with a "grip like iron" fought back against a robber by grabbing him by the testicles.
The Lithuanian woman, who says her strong grip [comes from] years of milking goats, held on to the man until police arrived.
Soja Popova, from Klaipeda, was shoved to the ground when she opened the door to two young men. But she fought back by grabbing the nearest by the testicles and squeezing "with all my force as hard as I could."
She told police: "He started screaming like an animal and his friend was trying to pull him free, but I have a grip like iron." The man's screams of agony and his friend's shouts for the woman to let go alerted neighbors, who called police.
