Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

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.

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

Plus, prone to shaving Natalie Portman's head with little provocation.

You're such a slut.

For some reason all the relationship talk is making me feel like an alien again.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Shared places: You have to agree on a standard - messier than the Felix wants, cleaner than the Oscar wants. Then you take equal shares for maintaining that standard. This minimizes the urge to kill for both parties - at least on that issue.

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

How was the review, Perkins?

Pretty good.

Is V (of the Vendetta) a terrorist?

Without following the link (because it's after midnight on this coast and I really should be going to bed), I kind of thought that was the premise of the book. I didn't realize it was a controversial statement.

It's been a year, Perk? Cool!

I didn't realize it was a controversial statement.

The article starts with the premise that more Americans think it's terrorism after 9/11 than did before. And not that many to whom he'd taught it had thought so. I'm assuming that the Brits always knew, but am surprised at the idea that significant # of folk (hi Hec!) were really not getting it.

Is V (of the Vendetta) a terrorist?

I guess it's naive of me to think that that guy doesn't encounter a lot of discussion about whether V is a terrorist because the answer is, "Of course." He's not just out to overthrow this particular nasty government; he's an anarchist. The happy ending is chaos, not reform.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay Perkins!

But if it drives me apeshit that there's a teacup, plate, fork, and spoon in the sink before I go to bed? That shit's on me.

Have I got the guy for you! Too bad he lives in New York. Literally can not sleep with a plate in the sink.

Interesting. Makes me wish I'd read it before 9/11, so I could compare.

ION, did we know that it is possible to get custom M&Ms? We should get "Too Much Candy" and "WWBD?" for the next F2F.

Did you ever sneak out of bed in the night and put a plate in the sink?

Yeah, still single.
