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

Kristen, I didn't take the 210--was it kerfucked?

Reservoir Dogs actor Chris Penn died accidentally from an enlarged heart and the effects of a combination of various medications, according to autopsy and toxicology tests

US TV network ABC is pulling Commander In Chief off its schedule even earlier than anticipated, due to poor ratings. The Geena Davis drama was scheduled to go on hiatus on February 28, but network executives decided to make the break effective immediately. ABC's scheduling chief Jeff Bader insists the network was trying to do "what we think is best for its long-term prospects." Bader says, "With this new schedule, (Commander) will return with a healthy run of seven straight episodes in the spring."

They love the word depressed, don't they:

Actor George Clooney is depressed he managed to pile on so much weight so quickly for his role as CIA operative Bob Barnes in Syriana. The 44-year-old grew a beard for the role and packed on 35 pounds for the political thriller, which has won him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. He says, "I put it on so quickly, I was anxious to get it off. The depressing thing was that I could put on 35 pounds in 30 days."

At least they give you the quote so you know they're on crack.

A suspicious device, that looked like a bomb, rolled off a truck and landed on the side of the freeway so they were closing a large section of the road.

Turned out to be an old, inactive weapon of some sort.

Kristen, did a bigheaded EMT run out and have to be replaced with an unfed dreamy medical student to hold it steady?

Just in case.

Damn, that's a big deal. Wasn't reflected on my bits of the 118, though.

It seemed to have confused the shit out of everyone. Apparently, it looked like an old WWII bomb. Even the bomb squad didn't know what the hell to do with it.

Finally, someone who works at the DoD saw it on the news and called his boss who went out and pronounced it a dud.

HELP.

I got new contact lenses today. They're great. I love them. But they won't come out. They came out when I was practicing this afternoon, but I really really need them to come out now. I don't think they were supposed to be in for this long in the first place. They've been in for over ten hours. I've been digging around in my eyes, which are all red now, but I can't see the contacts, and I don't really feel them, and they are NOT coming out.

Help?

Oh, Alibelle, I hope you got them out! Not much I can do from here!

Trust my rage

Aimee, I have to admit my opinion is based on a sample size of one. Bailey just seemed so in control which seem so not possible. I think controlor giving it up was the theme of the entire episode. It worked well thematically, just not realistically.

Alibelle, I have no suggestions for the contacts but what you are describing is why I don't have contacts yet.

I'm leaving for my parents house today and I'm very excited. I am, however, nervous about getting Ellie and I and our luggage on the plane.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I have to report for jury duty today.
