I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

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.

Our wings are not tired.

Hee. So I just got out of the shower and DH tells me I had a phone call. It was Jennifer, no maybe Jessica, the Buffista friend of mine down from DC this weekend. Yes dear, that would be Sheryl. He's a doll, but not so great a secretary.

Out the door to finish my list. Yay, I see Sheryl and G Monday!

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

Thrubbing, thrubbing, thrubbing. Okay, Perkins, you're forgiven.

Nigeria to give free AIDS drugs -- excellent news from a bad situation.

MSNBC TV to lose the MS.

And, cool from erinaceous: Cat Chow (check the gallery), who makes funky dresses out of funky stuff.

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

Yay, and I just sent an email to you with the worst timing ever.

Very cool on Nigeria.

I couldn't get into the second one, which is odd, since I am a subscriber,

Very cool on the Cat Chow.

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

The parent's house = lots of sleep. For this I am thankful. We are doing presents tonight so I need to run out soon and pick up one last thing. I also need to wrap up a few more.

I'll probably also be helping cook the meal (also tonight instead of tomorrow) as my mother has bruised ribs.

Oww. Poor Msbelle's mom.

I got a good night's sleep too. (no cats on diets waking me up at 4:00!) Now I get to drive to Tucson.

Poorly timed e-mail? What e-mail? Never saw a thing.

I would have had a great night's sleep if I'd remembered to shut off my alarm. Silly me. And I realise I still haven't turned it off. Must address once the fluffy pancakes have gotten a little further along digesting, and the tea consumed.

How early is too early to call a complete stranger on a Saturday Christmas Eve morning? I need to set up going over to their place sometime today.

I hope your mother's ribs heal up nice and quick. Make sure she ices.

The baby Tabitha on Bewitched is ADORABLE. I need to IMDB her.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I miss The 11th Hour. Reading some of their pages makes me miss them more.

I really miss it. One of the best sites for fan writing ever. Didn't Allyson contribute there? Or Strega? or both?

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

I was interviewed, but not a contributor.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I have a question for the hivemind, particularly Jewish members--what is the tradition for baby showers? My co-worker is strict Orthodox and due within the month, and we'd like to have a shower for her, but don't know if there are any restrictions/taboos about when to have it.

Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. And more cleaning. In the new year, I would like to resolve to be a person who cleans regularly so that it's never a big deal. Or, at least, rarely a big deal.

Oh, look, my five minute break is over.

Have fun Laura and Sheryl!
