Eep. The tornados last night? One was very close to my friend's house. Blocks, if the maps are right. Eep.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Lot's o' cool artwork.
This site has been described thusly:
Most people take comfort in the popular myth that children are innocent little angels that are all sweetness and light. Of course, we know the truth. That children are truly dark diminutive bundles of rage, viciousness, and deceit. We should know. We were those children. Some of the people on staff, at least mentally, still are.
Katy Towell understands what childhood is really about. We've featured her work before, but her web site Childrin R Skary is chock full of artwork and flash cartoons featuring tiny tykes being evil. We respect anyone who can mix zombies and flamenco.

Unfortunately, he DID know when she'd been bad or good, which meant that if she ever hoped to see a Christmas present in her lifetime, the fat man would have to go.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Is is just me, or is the recent "legalizing torture" thing far more scary than most all the other crap the Bush admin. has pulled? It seams to me that this latest line that's been crossed has extra-scary implications about the state of our democracy....
It's not just you. It's the film version of V for Vendetta without the biological catastophe. It's seriously freaking my shit out and making me want to go out and start a rally. If I weren't afraid of the fucking black bags.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
GA- Loved it. Love Calli taking the blame for the panties, although a "Thank You" out of Mere would have been nice. And the dancing was awesome. Ben was funny and awesome. And I love Mr. Burke. He knows his wife and knows eventually she'll think the sun rises and sets on Christina. I forsee Burke growing a set when it comes to Mama and standing up and then Mrs. Burke will see (and ok - I always that Burke's first name is Preston. Calling them Mr and Mrs Burke sound silly to me.) Poor Izzy. My heart just breaks for her, even though my mind says, "ACK ACK ACK! She can't be a doctor anymore!!" It's funny how much Addison and Mere are alike in some ways. Derek hurts them and they both get drunk and have teh sex. And Bailey BROKE me. The instant she said "Izzy?" and walked into that kitchen, the allergies started. Sigh. I love that show.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I LOVE the Charon one. And the Story Time one.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
GA never fails to bring out the tears when most other shows don't. And I love it for that.
VM 301: Cindy, yeah I noticed all the clues that they dropped last season, and from the moment Hearst was raised as a possibility in the Jury episode, I knew that was where she was going to end up for college. But I just wasn't sure if I'd missed the explicit statement that she had decided where to go. Other than that, though, I really liked the episode, I loved Mac's return, especially as a main character, and the part at the end with Dick got to me in a way I didn't honestly think would happy, so that was a nice surprise. I still don't understand, though--who was Vinnie working for? Who was the guy that shot Liam's brother and CC? I wasn't paying enough attention to that storyline last season. Also, who made the decision to make us wait a month before the next episode? I really don't think that's fair.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Why not this one, Lee??
I couldn't decide between the two.
I am too asleep to think about the government right now, thank god.
I didn't get to watch GA last night, and I haven't seen the VM either. Must fix that tonight.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The term is also used in Australian English, although the term singlet is more common in Australia. In British English, the term vest is used, while "tank top" refers to a sleeveless pullover. In India, such a vest, primarily designed to be an undershirt, is called a baniyaan. The name derives from its resemblance to a tank suit, a style of one-piece women's swimsuit with shoulder straps. "Tank suit" in turn refers to "swimming tank," an obsolete term for what are now called "swimming pools."
Hmm...
I saw this thing on PBS about clothing history and they seemed to think tshirts and tank tops both entered common use when soldiers came back from WWII (or maybe WWI) where they had been underclothing. They attributed the "tank top: to men in tanks stripped down to their undershirts because they were hot.
Now I'm going to obsess on this!
