The Chronicle of Higher Ed has an article about the persistence of Goth.
Hmmm. I've read Goth: Undead Subculture, and while it was interesting, there were sections that read like I was trapped in a game of academic buzzword bingo.
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

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
Monique has promised to vet all reviews for me (if there should be any) and to let me know what level of nervous breakdown they will cause me.

Of course, I loved Christine when it came out - I read the thing nonstop, cover to cover. Although I did note that Plymouth did not make a four-door Fury in 1958....
Oh! Tommyrot, I almost forgot. JZ and I saw a Delorean on the road last week when we were on the highway. We wished you were there to see it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cool.
A while back I was thinking a Delorean would be a cool car to have. Then I read an article (in the NYT, I think) about how they've become collectible and how a good one is worth $30,000.
Nah, I don't want one that bad. Plus that stainless steel is a bitch to keep clean.
Also, I'm having a hard time thinking of a post-1979 collectible car that I might want. But with the price of gas, I think I gotta get something that gets better than 10 or 14 mpg on the highway like my two current cars do....

Old school diesel Merceds, tommyrot! They're fun! :)

The cool thing about old school diesel Mercedes is that they're immune to EMPs. So the aliens and the secret government agencies couldn't get ya.

I don't know if any of you have been reading the various blogs that have been joining in on the zombie uprising/Blog Like It's The End Of The World thing, but I've been all sorts of entertained by them.

I'm just disappointed that none of the political blogs I read decided to go along....

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Yours was quite well done I thought, Jilli!
If you want to see the house we are bidding on, here's pictures. [link]
We are offering WAY less than this price, since it's bank-owned and apprently they like getting rid of property quick.
