What's a fish plank?
Traditional fish'n'chips uses cod.
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

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

It's just...a plank. 3/4 " thick, often rectangular, but sometimes some sort of rhomboid....they just were always called planks by my elementary school cafeteria.

Coding and Sleeping
The truth hurts:
That's not the only thing that would hurt in that paragraph.

But I had to do frantic figuring to decide what I wanted to request.
Yeah, I haven't quite settled on what I want to request yet. And I need to see what made the final fandom list. Lost is a repeat tonight, so maybe I'll do that when I get home from my comics run.

OK, so said person sent around email saying it was ALL MY FAULT that the format is screwed up. Because his code can't remove a newline character. Good lord.
I'm not that fussed, it is just rather comical.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Can I get a reality check here? I'm trying to write something about how society has been fucking with women for 50 years, telling them "get a job!" "stay home with your babies!" "do both!" "pick one!" etc. So I'm going through with a couple of sentences about each decade (80s superwoman "having it all", 90s welfare reform sending poor single mothers back to work, etc.), and then I'm going to come to some kind of point about how the real success of feminism would be if each person really felt that he or she could decide how to live and what was important, without feeling put down by society.
Does that make any sense, or is it too jumbled?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It makes sense to me, Jesse.
So it's probably jumbled.

Ryan -- evidently not a guy who can be left up to his own devices. He needs Blade 4, stat. Which reminds me, I need Blade 3.
If Blade 4 is going to be written by the same people who thought Blade 3 was a good idea, I'd prefer him to just opt for modelling in exercise magazines from now on.
It just occurred to me that Reynolds may be the sole prominent false positive my gaydar has given me. I've been surprised by plenty of people coming out (both in real life and celebrities), but he's the only instance I can recall of being shocked to learn that someone is straight.
ETA: Oops. Forgot that I was likewise surprised by a Swedish translator in Boston, who turned out to be my Best Sex Ever guy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Admittedly I haven't seen Blade 3, but I want to see him move, and I want to hear him snark extemporaneously. I heard he got to do both in Blade 3. I need to check my Netflix queue, and I need to see if I feel up to hitting the mailbox.

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
It's interesting and not jumbled at all Jesse.
