I did interview Margaret Thatcher in her living room at 10 Downing St.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good God, what did you say? Did you try throwing a bucket of water over her? Or hurling a piece of her jewellery into the Crack of Mount Doom?
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Mom came in here a little while ago and she saw the e-mail that Dave sent out for my birthday gathering while I was trying to pull up the pictures of our new neice. As a result, I had to answer the question, "What is a Big Gay Pirate?".

Art Crawl!!!
Did you show her a picture of Captain Jack?
I saw an ad for some sort of pirate program marathon that was supposed to be happening on History Channel.
Alas, it's not today.

Yay Prius!

She has seen PotC, but I don't think slash would register in my mother's brain. She seemed satisfied with the answer, "That's what my friends and I call PotC."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My father came home one day and asked if I wanted to interview the PM. I said sure, since I was mightily impressed with a woman running a country (I was 14 or so!) Then ensues the merry hijinx of multi-culti kids riding in their own double decker around London, ferried to the PM's place, where we were filmed for some TV show I'd never watched all interviewing Mags.
I think I asked about her role models. I sure don't remember her answer. I however, was in a cream sweater, tartan kilt, and brown knee high boots. And there was a cute guy in our group who kept pressing the call button on the bus you weren't really supposed to press. Especially not a bunch of times.
Like I said, 14.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Kristin, congrats on the purchase of your Prius.
I, on the other hand, just bought (well, technically, my dad bought) the best pants in the history of the universe from Dillards clearance. They're these Ralph Lauren corduroys. And they're GREEN. Like GREEN AS HELL. Like WHEN THE LIGHTS TURN OFF, THEY WILL GLOW. And they were TEN DOLLARS.
I have a feeling they might make me look incredibly gay, but chicks dig gay guys, so I'm okay with that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
We're back from Livermore where we won again. We're 3-0 and going to the semis. Jack hit a hoome run. A glorious, gorgeous blast. Ahhh, it was good. Emmett hit a ball as hard as I've seen him hit it - at least as hard as his ground rule double in Sacramento. Just caught all of it and absolutely smoked a line drive over the centerfielder's head for a double.
Emily, I'll pick you up at the airport and help with your planning when you get here.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
The farmer's market was most satisfying. I got a pound of cherries, a couple of pints of strawberries, some local honey, lettuce, tomatoes, a big fat red bell pepper, 1/2 pound of smoked cheddar, and 4 petite palmiers (cookies that are about half a step away from being pastry), all for just under $20. Yum. And then, because it's 1,000 degrees this weekend and I wandered around in the heat in the middle of the afternoon -- and because it's Sunday and I had no obligations -- I came home and napped. Bliss.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Dear eBay:
You suck. (whitefonted for stupid issue I emailed them about)
A couple of days ago, before bidding on some auctions, I double checked my billing and shipping addresses to be sure that they were up to date. As they were not, I corrected those addresses, and double checked that the billing address matched the primary shipping address. I then bid on the items I was interested in, and requested an invoice from the seller. In my copy of the email requesting the invoice, I saw that the automatically generated message gave the old, incorrect address as the primary shipping address. I then went to the "MY eBay" page "My Addresses". It showed the new, correct address for both the billing address and the primary shipping address. Confused by this, I clicked on "View all addresses", saw the old, incorrect address listed there as a shipping address. I subsequently clicked on the "Delete" link next to it. This caused the old, incorrect address to become the primary shipping address. I followed the links to PayPal, which I have previously successfully used with the new, correct address, and deleted all mention of the old, incorrect address. Please note that my account on Paypal did not list the old, incorrect address as a primary shipping address.
Why does deleting an address have the effect of making a primary shipping address? Also, why was I not asked at any time in the process of contacting the seller which shipping address I wished to use?
This is unacceptible. I am very angry about this waste of time and energy that eBay caused. If it were not unfair to the seller, I would have said, "forget the whole thing, no purchase is worth this. Stop the transaction." But of course, I will not take it out on the seller for eBay's gross inadequacies.
