Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

I just love having to walk someone through a windows application when I am not sitting in front of a pc and have never used said application. And yet, google and a little logic and I've done it.

I think every child takes at least one approach to naming parts that will result in parental...well, if not mortification, a good eyeroll. My nephew horrified his mom by declaring her "broken" because she didn't have a penis. This was shortly after he learned the word. Unfortunately, at that point, his understanding was simply absense=broken. Caused a dropped jaw or two. What a cute little....chauvinist?

Thankfully, that passed quickly.

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

Asspics always make me think of aspic, which I think we all should agree is unfortunate.

Nay! Never! In the immortal words of Destiny's Child:

I don't think you ready for this jelly
I don't think you ready for this jelly
I don't think you ready for this
Cause my body too bootylicious for ya babe

I shake my jelly at every chance
When I whip with my hips you slip into a trance
I'm hoping you can handle all this jelly that I have
Now let's cut a rug while we shake our....

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Thanks to the new no smiling rules

Do they have "no eye rolling" rules? Because I need some way to stick it to The Man.

As far as airline stuff, I've thought for a while now that the current hell of air travel is such that an entrepreneur who could start a reasonably priced airline that was seriously old school airline - stylish steward/ess uniforms, legroom, service, meals - could really make some headway. People are sick to death of the way air travel is these days. I know that as poor as I am, there are times where I'd be willing to pay extra for more comfort.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I like tomato aspic!

Also, I totally smiled in my passport picture, and they still processed it.

Finally, I am sorry for your bad week, sara.

In Washington news, the Democratic National Committee not only develops a backbone, but also a sense of humor when it comes to its press releases:

Not to mention that Osama Bin Laden is still on the loose, sending us more videos than Netflix...

The Jasons is a really dry name for a semi-secret society of scientists that aid the government.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Thanks for the birthday wishes for Isaac, I promise to pass them along to him with many kisses attached. Poor weeble had stomach flu this weekend, so no cake until he's all better.

Oh, poor pumpkin!

Strega, the people she was discussing it with did. So that's why she made the distinction.

But, but... the internet is for ranting based on assumptions, not this pesky "context" thing!

Oh, all right. Then she's not crazy. I was just too lazy to follow the link last night. Ranting's still fun, though.

And yeah, Ellis's definition isn't all that workable, but it makes up for that by being pithy. (It was his stock response to "Why isn't it fanfic when Moore writes LoEG, or you write NextWave, etc.?")

We are halfway through watching season 2 of Galactica. I am so very sleepy.

In Washington news, the Democratic National Committee not only develops a backbone, but also a sense of humor when it comes to its press releases:

I'm not saying that I disbelieve that the DNC generated the press release, but it isn't on the DNC website.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Allyson, I have some sympathy for Gavin's parents. When Franny was first interested in naming her naughty bits, I had to quickly come up with appropriate terms for her to use. We went with "crotch" for the front and "butt" for the backside. Now she sometimes goes around proudly saying "my crotch! my butt!"

Ha! Only funny because it's not me...yet.

Happy Birthday, Isaac!

My mother was changing O's diaper when he reached for his penis. She said, "Don't grab your bird!" I said, "Mother, first of all, it's not a bird, it's a penis. Second of all, it's his and I don't think we'll be able to keep his hands off of it forever. Let him grab it if he wants to."

Not to mention that Osama Bin Laden is still on the loose, sending us more videos than Netflix...

Ha!
