msbelle, is that better? (it was white on my machine, but...)

Chicat: thessaly is evil.
Thessaly: *grin*
Evil required too much of a commitment, so I went with the Discordians instead. Not that occasional evil is ruled out, I'm just not full time.
I Am the Temp of Evil.
Also, sometimes I make cookies.

If the statement following this disclaimer is racist or sexist, I usually call people on this. No one accuses me of being a radical vegetarian lesbian, especially when I'm wearing cowboy boots.

Just for the record, quantum mechanics may be fine for subatomic particles, but it sucks at the lifestyle level.

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
Rio: Hola fuckos. I can't manage the capslock today. I'm too stressed out and upset. I'll try again tomorrow.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Alibelle: I don't understand what I need to do to make VCD's work. VCD's are too complicated.
Thessaly: It's easy:
- Read the Buffistechnology thread, realize there is something neat going on.
- Find BitTorrent. Download.
- Realize that you probably need KaZaa Lite. Download.
- Realize you need a thingie to make it work. Go to VCD Easy. Download.
- Spend an afternoon staring at your DVD player, wondering if it's really compatible with VCDs.
- Download an episode at .005KB/sec and watch the timer start at 100 hours, 45 minutes.
- Play with the settings on VCD Easy. Get it to work. Become jubilant that you can now have the Firefly episodes your VCR didn't like for some unknown reason.
- Upgrade VCD Easy when it informs you that a new version has been released.
- Start to burn a VCD from a new package of CDs and have it make several lovely coasters before you figure out that for once, it's not the cheap CDs causing the errors.
- Spend an evening trying to learn to speak hardware drivers. Fail.
- Randomly try forcing the driver to a random generic setting. Bonk your head against the monitor. Try another one.
- Success!
(Man, I have SO been there.)

I don't think punk will ever actually die. It just doesn't exactly care, frowns at the ambulance and the doctor and the priest, then stands up and walks away after every burial.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Deena, in Bitches:
Bil broke my brain and it wasn't even his fault. I read this and thought it said, "will you let him get..."
firstbrain: Oooh, easy gift getting, again!
secondbrain: Let him? He's an adult! What's with let him?
firstbrain: Well, you are the royal keeper of the budget.
secondbrain: But, he's an adult! He earns money! How am I to "let" him? What is this let?
firstbrain: But, you said "he let me" when you talked about cameras, dressers and lamps.
secondbrain: That's different.
firstbrain: Different how?
secondbrain: Because! Well, it was shorthand for something like, after discussing the budget and explaining what I want, Greg and I agreed that these things would be nice to have and doable with some care.
firstbrain: Didn't say that.
secondbrain: Meant it!
firstbrain: Then what would you have done if he'd said, "No, you can't have it?"
secondbrain: Probably said, "yes, dear." OH MY GOD I WOULD HAVE SAID YES DEAR!
firstbrain: Told you so. You have a double standard. Why's that, you suppose? huh? Maybe you're not so feminist in control no one tells me what to do as you think, huh?
secondbrain: I would have sulked.
firstbrain: Oh, sure, marginalize yourself further, why don't you? Let's all go back to being Ibsen's Nora, shall we?
secondbrain: But he doesn't really tell me what I can and cannot do! It's just relationship shorthand.
firstbrain: Huh. Remember books you wanted to buy? Huh? Ringing any bells here? Do you tell him what to do?
secondbrain: NO! Only sometimes, but he doesn't have to listen. Okay, wait, he doesn't tell me no and I don't tell him no! It really is a partnership! Sometimes one of us reminds the other of the realities of the budget, that's all! We work together to get the things we want and need.
firstbrain: Yeah, right. Can we say fanwank?
secondbrain: I'm getting the minister of Kill Stupid People after you.
firstbrain: Not if I get to him first.
