Hil: Argh. I really HATE the new kind of voicemail system with speech recognition. Just called the postal service to get a package redelivered, and I had to spell out my last name four times before the computer could understand me. And even then, I think they might have gotten the Z as a V (I can't hear that difference too well, especially over the phone.) Then the word "parcel" took three tries. Whatever happened to just pushing buttons? Or, even, talking to an actual person who can understand "Z as in Zebra"? (Well, most of the time. There seem to be several people out there under the impression that "Pebra" is a word.)

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

What is even happening?
sarameg: The elder nephew seems to be fond of his baby brother, though the wee one isn't too interactive yet. No toy stealing. However, he is practicing for siblinghood. He opined, just once in over two weeks, that T maybe should go back in mommy's tummy and tape be used to keep him there.

erikaj: New pepped-up MM... I'm scared. And kind of turned on at the same time. Only for a Bitch is that what nostalgia feels like.

Because books.
Zenkitty: Does the iPhone vibrate? Because really, that's all it needs.
Cashmere: Then the iPhone would replace every device you'd ever need. Including the Rabbit.

Ginger, in Natter:
I have long advocated that typing an exclamation point should give people a shock, so they only use one when they really need one. Ideally, the more exclamation points you typed at one time, the stronger the shock would get.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
shrift in Natter:
I've never accidentally done anything too catastrophic, although I've often had a computer raise its eyebrow and ask what I thought I was expecting to accomplish by touching it there.

Miracleman in Bitches re: living in sin
And the sin part was great! The living...well, once we got a place that was bigger than a matchbox, worked out just fine.
In that little shoebox apartment we lived in, the living became not so fun, which meant the sin suffered.
"Can't you do dishes?"
"Can't you stop leaving your shoes in the middle of the floor?"
"Why do you have so many books?"
"Why do you have so many clothes?"
"Why can't you shower without spraying water all over the bathroom?"
"Wanna have sex?"
"God, no!"
"Me either."
