Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Swarm-bot

I kept misreading this as "Smarm-bot". Certainly gives it a whole 'nother meaning.

I thought you meant GIANT photo-transparencies.

Barack Obama speculation.

Obama (D-Ill.) has been having quiet conversations with colleagues and friends about a prospective White House run, but a key concern is whether his wife, Michelle, would support it and whether he could manage the time away from their two young daughters.

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

Has anyone read Burlesque and the Art of the Teese / Fetish and the Art of the Teese by Dita Von Teese and Bronwyn Garrity? Any good?

I have it. It's very pretty. The writing is on the frothy/fluffy side of girly, but it's a lot of fun. Of course, every time I look through it, I am overcome with the urge to start gluing Swavorski crystals onto things, but that may just be me.

I read it in B&N, and quite liked it. It is a bit fluffy, but sumptuous to read.

One of the local big name burlesque women teaches a burlesque exercise class. One of these days I'll get my ass up on a Sunday and go.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I'm sort of a net addict. But I have little money and no hope of proficiency with firearms. Life had to give me something. "I was thinking of developing a drug problem, but that would be stupid."
