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!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Ailleann, they knocked S60 to give that hour a bump in ratings by showing Friday Night Lights, which is a bit of a surprising hit and a way for new watchers to get hooked on it. It's not definitively cancelled. At least, not yet.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

That doesn't surprise me.

Frankly, that's the first time I've looked at tv listings in probably a month.

Always Anti-fascist!

I hate to see it go...not quite in the "Brilliant but Cancelled" way like SN, or The Job, but...it's too bad.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Uh, for the slow on the uptake, where did the "I'M IN YUR NOUN, VERBING YUR NOUN" phrasing come from. I saw it on those cat photos posted a while back, and Two Lumps did a strip using it about a month back. Help?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It evolved from the long weird lineage of All Your Base. I, um, saw something about it a few days ago on some blog or other.

Cute nephew post alert!

So they've told D about the pregnancy. He's really thrilled with the whole concept of a baby and of being a brother. Lots of his friends have siblings, and one just had one recently, so it's not a foreign concept.

My SIL works at the same Petite Acadamie that D attends. She's picking him up from his class and one of the other moms comes in with a teeny newborn. D is fawns all over it. Then asks SIL "Is this our baby? We can take it home now?" SIL explained she has to get fat first.

So: clear on the concept, not so much on the execution. I forsee the next few months filled with "Where's our baby? Why isn't it here yet?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Is this our baby? We can take it home now?"

Aw!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think my nephew would be a wreck. Good on D, sara.

He's always loved other kids and really gets a kick out of babies.

We'll see how he feels in high school. Heh.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

yay for new baby and D's wonderful reaction!

I forgot - the hardest thing about the time change is that on Mondays it will be almost dark when I go into work.
