Me, I'm mostly glad about the hair. Though, to be honest, I thought that his nastiness had more root than any of the other guys. Doesn't mean I like him, or it, but it worked better for me.

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.
Oh, sure. I'm with you on all of it, ita.
You too, bon.
HUGS ALL AROUND!
Then let's go kick the shit out of the MTA board.
It smells like a campfire here in Silverlake.
Also there is ash falling outside my apartment. It's very fine, and there's not a lot, but it's there.
Also also, wrod brenda. It's still early enough that the teams my continue to loose members at a more or less equal rate, but if Yaxha doesn't start winning more challenges, I might get too bored and irritated to continue watching this season.
Ya know, I don't think one needs to specify Hallelujah anymore. That's the most egregious example, but DAMN. Give me a couple ending-montage-free months, willya?
Heh. I thought the same thing when someone asked about Mad World earlier. If Hallelujah is #1, MW is #2.
I sitll love to death my Starbuck Xmas cd that's all swing and jazzy happy xmas music, and then, right in the middle, Leonard Cohen's original Hallelujah.
Starbucks used to make some great cds, but I think they fell asleep at the wheel on that one. Not that it's not great - it totally is, if you don't mind the emotional whiplash when LC comes on.
It's an indictment of how the people on the board of the MTA don't actually ride the fucking subway.
nice to know that's not just DC. The board members of WMATA, our transit authority are given a special metrocard with unlimited use. How many board members have ever used it? ONE.
t tries not to mention that our mayor rides the subway as a matter of course
t or at least as a matter of publicity stunt
t he also recently showed up for jury duty when summoned
t /Villaraigosa likes carrots
Our mayors ride the subway and go to jury duty, but they aren't the transit board.
Okay, so my points don't actually relate to the conversation in any particular way....
I'll just be over here in the nonsequitur corner.
Huh. Except actually, now that I look it up, according to Wikipedia, it turns out that mayor Villaraigosa is on LA's transit board. From the Governance section:
Metro is governed by a 13-member Board of Directors comprised of:
The five Los Angeles County Supervisors
The Mayor of Los Angeles
Three Los Angeles mayor-appointed members
Four city council members representing the other 87 cities in Los Angeles County.
The Governor of California appoints one non-voting member.
