sure. I'd stop and let someone use my phone. If I noticed, which I'm not especially good at doing.

I've stopped to help people and their car stuff. Changed someone's tire once. Not that I'm a good samaritan, but I hate when I'm at the side of the road and no one stops for me.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Steph, that dress did make me think of you.

Because I'm sassy! And fancy!

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 once changed a woman's tire in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere. My Mom FREAKED.

"But, Mom, she was all alone!"

"YOU were all alone"

Silly argument -- I knew how to change a tire.

Um, the dog just started chewing on the wall. Should I be concerned? Is she not getting her RDA of plaster?

Mine has recently started licking the sheets. What is that about?

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

Steph, you're a bundle of sass.

As a pedestrian, I might lend my phone. As a driver, there'd have to be an obvious predicament. Like with neon signs.

I'm so naive -- I never imagined Chris Tucker was the bigger name of the two:

Chris Tucker, Jackie Chan and director Brett Ratner have signed up to make a third Rush Hour movie. After years of negotiations and speculation the trio will team up again for Rush Hour 3, with a fourth film still to be determined. As part of the deal, funnyman Tucker will earn $20 million for signing up and a further 20 per cent of the gross. Chan will pick up $15 million and 15 percent of the gross. Rush Hour 2 was a global smash hit, raking in over $320 million. Shooting on the third film will begin next summer. It's expected to hit cinemas in the summer of 2007.

Of course, Jackie's probably already richer than God, but still.

I think it was GQ magazine I was reading (that ranked Maddox Jolie as one of the powers of 2005) that also ranked "the black leading man" as a power player, noting that there were now multiple viable black leading men, that they'd "arrived."

All I could think was -- DUDE. THEY'RE SHARING A SPOT ON YOUR LIST. Most white guys didn't have to share. Hell, a little Cambodian boy gets his own spot. That's so not arriving.

Mine has recently started licking the sheets. What is that about?

Time to do laundry?

Well if she's going to go and do it for me...

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Pippin (Pisser, P-shit. Whichever) does this. Also, the sofa.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Not cute though is being up at 5:45.

That is not cute. Neither is having been trying since 3:30 to get back to sleep, but not having much luck.

I also thought that the dress msbelle linked to was very Teppyish.

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

I am at my parents' house for the week, and today I will be doing last-minute T-day shopping, and then cooking. We're down to 13 guests from the original 17 (my uncle accidentally sliced part of his thumb off, so they're staying home), which only means MORE LEFTOVERS. I'm so excited. This is my favorite week of the year, bar none.

I'm 10 pounds of sass in a 5-pound bag.

Okay, finally watching Grey's Anatomy: Bailey! The stupidity of the human race! Be thankful for that! My Bailey love knows no bounds.
