Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

There are some noises that make it impossible for me to think, or even keep my brain in a rational place. The king daddy sound is a drill.

When i hear a drill, my body's fight or flight goes into overdrive, and I feel like how an angry hornet must feel. I must kill the source of the noise.

The construction people outside my window, drilling into my wall, must be destroyed.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Why did Rome and Deadwood not get any major noms? There was fantastic acting in those shows. Just cause they were cancelled? Lame! Don't even get me started on no BSG... Olmos and McDonnell totally deserve noms. t /grump

Punishingly Intricate

And what about the freaking Wire??!!

(although I know the Emmys and how they disappoint too well to have put much stock in them getting it right this year.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yikes. FWIW I get really tense when a diesel engine is idling outside. Persistent low rumbling bass drives me nuts.

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

You know, I love HIMYM, but there are other shows I would have given the nom over that. However, this is pretty much my response to all forms of award-type things. I'm never happy with them.

PS. Still thank you for birthday wishes!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Today's crazy Tour de France news (no stage spoilers):

A Reuters car carrying photographers CAUGHT FIRE before the riders arrived, and they had to make a one kilometer course diversion.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Mine is the leafblower.

My idiot neighbor has the world's loudest leafblower and it takes him about four hours to blow off his lawn. For many reasons, the fact that he is not dead is a tribute to my self control.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My noise is a jammed paper shredder. And people just. keep. shredding.
