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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm in the middle of a writing test that uses the word "fungible".

Don't break it.

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

Which one? The pipe smoker? Or Draper?

Pipe smoker I guess. I'm not talking about the lead.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mad Men has duly been added as a season pass. I keep seeing it because the sushi restaurant and the bar that feed me three nights out of every seven seem to be playing either it or previews over my friend's shoulder.

Now I'll try watching it.

Though Turturro may be indelibly linked with The Transformers now, more's the pity.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Here's AMC's Mad Men site It has a lot of video clips and behind the scenes stuff if you're curious, including a whole section on "The Dangers of Smoking."

Here's the cast.

bon, is Bob's friend Michael Gladis?

A truly dumb blog. I have no idea how they intend to achieve their goal. I mean, I know Bijan's an idiot, but I also know he doesn't care what I think of him.

I do have to say I don't like the animated billboards that are springing up all over my little 3 mile radius of home/work/krav. The more interesting they are the more rubbernecking they'll encourage for people trying to see the whole rotation.

The entire LAPL database is down, so there can be no renewals--online, over the phone, or in person.

But overdue fees will not be waived. When I mentioned it wasn't fair the librarian just didn't say a word.

Harrummph.

Goddamnit. I hate Giant. I went to the pharmacy to get more insulin needles (after hitting a RiteAid, where they wouldn't sell them to me without a prescription. Which is contrary to what the state says the policy is. Anyway.) I told them exactly the specs, twice, and the main pharmacist bagged the box without me seeing it, behind the counter.

I get home, it's the wrong gauge and length. Needles aren't returnable. Pisses me off. I'll use them if I have to (they'll work, they'll just be more painful,) but I'll probably go out and get the right kind and donate these to my vet or something. And bitch at Giant at some point.

Not now, though. Too tired.

RE Worldcrossing, apparently some servers are redirecting and some aren't.

wc4.worldcrossing.com , wc1.worldcrossing.com go to should.com but wc5.worldcrossing.com is okay.

Hey, I'm tired too. And I need to make a pharmacy run because I'm totally out of one of my prophylactics. I need a good system to manage my prescriptions and refills. Somewhere there's a spreadsheet. I just need to find it again.

There's a terrible email chain about the vegansexual thing filling up my inbox, and I almost skeeved myself by using the phrase "hot meat injection."

Almost. It's all in how you slant it.

The phrase, not the injection itself, nor the hot meat.

I really want to go home. Migraine. Currently without the pain, but that's not exactly any fun either.

What's a migraine without pain? If you don't mind.
