I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Conservatives consider this a threat to one of their most cherished traditions: politicizing religious holidays.

Meanwhile, I'll stand outside the grounds with a sign saying, "Put the Oestra back in Easter!"

Thrive to spite them

Shrift -- I watched the first two episodes of Black Books last night. I love Bernard!

I had trouble explaining Manny's story line but I was able to convey the Dickens exchange with success. She asked if she could see it, so maybe I'll get a toaster.

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

re gabby: no, I don't think the sister was -- that's why gabby re-confessed

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

My gym just sent me an email about one of the most highly anticipated wine events of the year. As you can imagine, those are their words and not mine.

My eyes are very tired today.

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

I just had a bottle of fizzy water fizz all over me.

I'd like it to be Tuesday now.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Can someone tell me why all vampire movies must be filmed so the screen is mostly dark? I watched underworld and it was all blue and black. Now I am watching The Turning - and it is mostly red and black. So hard to see.

I had this problem with Buffy. Though also I think we got UPN badly.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

But Cass, it's so much a chick thing, and it's painted as the worst thing ever. I'm not saying it's fun, or even something to shrug off, but she kills the guy in the end of the episode, and it feels like that's the only just end to the story. It's somewhat akin to the reformed prostitute who can't put out without heart just one more time to save the man she loves.
And it feels overwrought and false to me then as well, ita. Do I lose my chick license over this?

I've slept with someone I wasn't really into but it wasn't the first time we'd had sex and it really would have been more of a hassle to have called it off by the time I realized I wasn't so into it. I didn't kill him. I did change my sheets but I would have been psychologically fine even if I hadn't.

Why don't guys get those dilemmas? In real life, women can regard sex as business. TV and movies seems to have forgotten that a sympathetic woman can do any dissociation.
Exactly. I mean, does this situation just never happen to men or it is just verbotten to talk about? I think at least some women are just as capable of having sex without love or emotion. Or even really wanting to. Like going to work on a day when you would really rather go see a movie.
What I do want is to deserve a
GA: Sigh... Me too. I just don't think I am emotionally reserved enough to ever deserve a Burke of my very own though. Which is too bad. For me. I don't think Cristina deserves him yet either. But I have hope that she will eventually.
