Sometimes, stupid shit throws me out of a TV show. On Without A Trace, they just said some kid got taken away from his mother ten years ago because of her crystal meth habit. That just seems SO unlikely. New York City, mid-90s? Not such a hotbed of crystal meth use. As far as I know. Not that it's impossible, there just seem like better candidates.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It does seem like crack would have been a better choice, Jesse. Was it important to the story somehow?
ION, I am FRICKING COLD. I'm wearing the fingerless gloves Kat gave me.
Winter can bite me.

Wherever Brenda is from (since my brain is frozen) can bite me too.

I don't know yet, Perkins, but I doubt it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
As I am far too drunk to post anything of substance right now, I will quote people I agree with:
Strega:
The trouble I'm having is that I'm not sure what people mean by moral duty or moral beliefs. Or morality, period. It's possible that I have moral beliefs, and just call them something else, but it makes this conversation sort of surreal. Moral and immoral aren't words I use seriously. I do use "good" and "evil," but they basically mean "characterized by empathy" or "showing a lack of empathy," and nothing beyond that. Useful adjectives, but not... well, nouns, I suppose.
Billytea:
I tend to view it similarly to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. The more absolute we treat good and evil, the less we can profitably talk about what they actually mean.
Also, my Tivo did not tape Survivor tonight. It shall henceforth be punished. Bad Tivo! Baaaaaaaaad Tivo.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Which is to say, we fished them out of my cleavage when I left.One these days, I need to get over my snake fear. I fear anything under about eight feet -- cause they can hide.
I sort of dealt with my shark fear (note to billytea and Epic: Just shush you two. That restaurant overlooked the water and a shark could have been in that water. And come through the glass. And bited me. It could happen .) to the point I've scuba'd a few times with some smaller ones and didn't have a panic attack the last trip.

I caught a baby shark when I was fishing off of Bar Harbor, ME back in 1982. At least, it was only about 18 inches long, and no more than a few inches across. Had the really cool shark smile, though! (The fish wrangler on the boat tossed him back, so no shark meat for dinner.)

Had the really cool shark smile, though!My first face to face with a shark was with a nurse shark in Cozumel. Body of a shark, face of a catfish. It helped, but I still had the panic feeling. The reef tips in Hawaii were pure shark though.

I think little sharks, like reef sharks, are pretty. I don't have any desire to get close to big ones though.
ita, are you missing a migraine?
