Timelies all!
I was in my Mammalian Physiology class when Challenger happened. I remember the teacher listening to the launch on his radio.
9/11 I was at work.(and then was sent home since we're a Federal site)
Saffron: I'll die. Mal: Well, as a courtesy, you might start getting busy on that, 'cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Apparently the Brokeback Boys appear on Oprah tomorrow. And today she apologised for defending James Frey.

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

Yep, Paris. We'd been on a day trip to Versailles -- we heard about the attack on the train on the way home. When we got back to the hotel, all the international phone lines were jammed for hours (and the hotel's free computer, understandably, had a European keyboard which was a PITA to type on when we went to post/email people).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Apparently the Brokeback Boys appear on Oprah tomorrow.
::purr:: Also, I expect this means needing to lay in a fresh store of Kleenex. I couldn't even sit through the Top Gun parody trailer without crying, on account of that damn music.
And today she apologised for defending James Frey.
Good for her (finally). I can't wait to see what whiny/braggadocious bloviation he blurps out next after this fresh betrayal. I invented this genre! Dave Eggers can suck my crack-kicking cock! I'm so truthy! Why's Oprah gotta be all facty?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm generally not into sports cars, but the Jaguar E-type is one of the most beautiful cars ever.
