Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

beth, that sounds lovely! I really like the detail that the groom dyed his hair in the wedding colors.

Gah, poor thing! It's not like she accidentally dresses that way because she doesn't know any better. Grr.

Guests are gone!!! It turned out to be a pretty good visit, and I really liked the 24 (and a half) year old GF. I think they reconciled whatever needed reconciling while visiting the islands, because they were both happier and getting along when they came back. But still, it's nice to have the house back.

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'm not sure, but I suspect it was solo. At least I didn't hear another guy's voice.

Now THAT'S funny.

Poor little babygoth. Asshole parents need to learn to pick their battles, you know? They could TOTALLY spin this into her being good as gold, "It's now how we'd like you to dress, but we respect you for you." could get a bit of respect in return, eh? At the very least, "We don't like this and we don't understand it but as long as your grades are good you can dress how you want." is a bargaining chip. Duh.

Oh, the poor little gothling. She sounds so sweet and bright, and to be dragged on a tv show and humiliated like that is NOT what she deserves.

At the very least, "We don't like this and we don't understand it but as long as your grades are good you can dress how you want." is a bargaining chip. Duh.

And it's great bargaining chip! I don't understand why more parents take that route. But then, I also don't understand why some parents completely flip out when their kids don't want to be like everyone else. Gaaah.

Neither do I. Which means Annabel will probably be effortlessly popular and happily conformist, and will rebel against us by joining the Young Republicans.

Mykonos is magic I tell you... I am glad that you have house back too.

Poor little babygoth.
I am very sad about this.

I am not on any drugs right now. I am trying to see if I can wait until 1 to take the flexeril (or until there is even a twinge of something new) and get an idea of where my back is.

I also want to get my brows waxed but I think the place I go will be closed. This is feeling very 4th of July to me. I should call them.

We keep saying this about Mallory too...although he'll probably just rebel be being apolitical or apathetic, and a jock.

Hopefully it's still in the same place, otherwise your clothes are going to hang funny.

I think the DH has used all my Ambien, of which I took exactly none. So tomorrow is me trying to figure out what it's called here to buy some more. Right now, it's bedtime. G'night Bitches!

Hivemind cookery question:

I want to make blackberry jam. Should running the jars and lids through a dishwasher cycle be as effective for sterilizing them as my old technique of pouring boiling water from the electric kettle over them?

Apparently my brain off drugs, not much clearer... D'oh!

I shall not get my brows waxed today, they are closed.

I don't know nothing about sterilizing jars for making jam, sorry Susan.

Dear, if you run the lids through the dishwasher they won't seal properly.
