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

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
There was an Animal Planet documentary called Cheeky Monkeys that shows up every once in a while, about the urban monkeys in South Africa. Think raccoons, only give them real opposable thumbs, and the tendency to descend in troops of 30-40, and you can get a fearsome level of destructiveness that would make you long for the halcyon days of skunks, bears and so on.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Here is where they are getting all of that crap. If men are forced to choose between "someone who is funny" and "somone who thinks you are funny" they choose the one who thinks they are funny, and they are especially prone to do this if they are thinking of a long-term relationship. If women are given the same choice, they choose the partner who is funny over one who thinks they are funny. But both men and women would prefer to have someone who is funny AND who appreciates their humor, so the whole thing is a slight of hand.
See, now THAT's really interesting, and totally rings true to me.
Are there any plebian masses at the Bellagio?
Oh hells yes -- there are plebian masses everywhere you go in Vegas.
For the last 15 minutes, I've been fantasizing about a hot cup of tea, while sitting on my sofa looking through a Crate & Barrel catalogue.
That sounds like an excellent fantasy.
Me, I don't need fantasies, because I have 75% off Valentine's candy!!!!

Oh, and best of luck to katefate and Megan's MIL. Kate, a friend of mine just had her gall bladder out, and it's made a world of difference.

I just made myself a pasta dish from a new cookbook, pasta with carmelized onions and blue cheese. Like onions. Like pasta. Am a little suspicious of, but generally like blue cheese. The dish however, I didn't like. It was way too sweet. The cats won't even look at it.
Back to the drawing board for dinner.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Wouldn't it be a bit, I don't know, stodgy?

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