Shit's all sorts of different now.

Sigh.

So many iTunes. So little gift certificate.

Kat if you want a game in which letters have no names, you should make it up. It seems a bit of a naked place, though.

I think you misunderstand. Letters can have all the names they want. But the name of the letter itself does not constitute a word.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

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

But the name of the letter itself does not constitute a word.

The Scrabble dictionary disagrees.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Like a bunch of women in lingerie and wings protesting the destruction of the rainforest outside the Victoria's Secret show. Other than the fact that VS has catalogs I just don't see the connection.

I think they built a store with some crazy expensive, only-grows-in-the-rainforest kind of wood flooring. Or someone did. It may or may not have been VS.

The bath mood light has been bookmarked for the next time I do a show involving water.

I think the Oliver kids tried to give me the ick. I've got swollen glands, a sore throat, congestion and a headache. I don't think I've completely succumbed though, so I'm trying to cheer on my immune system.

Oh, Jesse. Why'd you have to go and link that? Why?

Also, I am coming down on the side of the names of letters being words. Nouns, even.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

How much do I love the fact that Kat can't let this one go? Sooo much!

I am not terribly competitive at board games, but I have been known to get sucked in to many a board game in my day.

I just realized, my family was a card game family. Penny-ante poker, kaluke (which is like gin rummy but with two decks), cribbage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Jesse. Why'd you have to go and link that? Why?

Only to share my pain. If I'm going down, I'm bringing people with me!!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Los Feliz is PISSED. Standing room only, lots of greaser boys and gurls dressed in 1940s sex-ay attire, old folks from the neighborhood. My neighbor and i got interviewed for the news.

What's going on?
