"Drag Queens with Power Tools"
This is taking me back to grad school days, where I came out among drag queens. Three of them took a house with a fourth friend. They took in a high school student who was thrown out by her parents when she came home with a girlfriend her senior year. The queens allowed her to have the gf over, but only when her homework was done, and as long as she stayed in school and kept her grades up enough to graduate.
I would watch this sitcom. Episode idea: One day when a blizzard was coming, the queens invited me over to be snowed in with them. I accompanied "Euretha Franklin" [sic] to get supplies: grocery store for massive amounts of Kraft mac and cheese, liquor store, and a newstand for porn for everyone. Orphan girl had sent a list of her preferences. For porn, not food or liquor.
Aurelia, for some reason your tagline made me cry last night. I've watched that relationship over the years, but last night I found myself an unwitting 'shipper.
Wish me luck, I've got to crank out a software rollout plan
and
leave early today.
Jeez louise, Kathy! That's scary. I'm glad it wasn't your brand-new apartment!
I think your evening was way too exciting, Kathy.
If I had six cups of coffee a day, you'd have to pry me off the ceiling, where I'd be twitching and crying. It might get better after a month or so, but it'd be a bad month.
Stars within 50 light years
This is a map of every star within 50 light years visible with the naked eye from Earth. There are 133 stars marked on this map. Most of these stars are very similar to the Sun and it is probable that there are many Earth-like planets around these stars. There are roughly 1400 star systems within this volume of space containing 2000 stars, so this map only shows the brightest 10% of all the star systems, but most of the fainter stars are red dwarfs.
Maybe it's just me, but this map (it's 3-d) is really cool. Nice to see what our neighborhood looks like. Now I just have to figure out which way to the Galactic Center, so I can orient myself....
Ooh! Yay! GO TEAM ZMAYHEM!!!
I drank at least six cups of coffee for years. It didn't help.
I liked GA last night. I especially liked
Meredith calling Derek out. She should have called him on his attitude in general, he had no right to be pissed that she was seeing someone else. And for the record, two guys after you break up with someone does not a whore make. I wish that she hadn't let him control their relationship at the end, when he said it's over and she said "finally", she should have said that it's been over.
I want to like Callie, but
I would have felt the same way that Meredith and Izzy felt. I mean, she walked in topless (who does that in a group house?), peed in front of them, and didn't wash her hands (I'm not sure that I believe the kitchen bit). Regardless, Izzy did not have the right to just "forget" her surgery.
And I'm a LOT tired of Alex. I did love the line
you bite the she-shepard, she bites back
.
Woot! Congrats on the Zmayby!
