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.

What Michael Jackson would have looked like if he had aged naturally.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, the Olive Garden thing is worse, because they have Olive Garden-specific words. That are terrible. And actually, I can now tell you it's not Olive Garden, because they say "Applebee's will thrill ya with some food right off the grill-a."

OK, so I don't always fast-forward through the ads.

From that Futon Critic article, is anyone here watching Criminal Minds? It's like the commercial The Inside.

That line isn't as sticky, Jesse. But I'll hate that one too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bones has been picked up too. I wonder if the quality improved after the pilot. Too much work for me to check for myself.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Note to career women from the NY Times, don't cry at work.

"When people show emotionalism in the workplace, they are not taken as seriously," said Mary Gatta, the director of work force policy and research at the Center for Women and Work at Rutgers University.

Men learned this lesson back in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when the Industrial Revolution structured the workplace and the workday, and required a disciplined work force, said Tom Lutz, the director of the M.F.A. writing program at the California Institute of the Arts and the author of "Crying: The Natural and Cultural History of Tears." Factory managers trained their workers to be calm and rational, the better to be productive. "You don't want emotions interfering with the smooth running of things," Mr. Lutz said.

Women for the most part did not receive this particular kind of on-the-job training. Nor did they usually learn, as boys did, that it was acceptable to express frustration in other ways.

...something something dishes that are Applebee's delicious!

This is why I can't even think about awful songs. I still know all the words, and I don't like them!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Like repression?

OMTFG. Mostly today I feel bad for my friend who just got into a fight with her boyfriend yesterday about this very issue.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I watch Criminal Minds and like it.

Today's why I cherish ita....

I cherish ita's very specific food tastes, even when I find them odd, maybe especially when I do.
