Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

I think it's funny that they use "four static PowerPoint slides" and "express your creativity" in the same notion.
Hey, if you can pull that off, you're clearly destined for greatness.

Trust my rage
Wow, Jessica, he looks big already! And very cute and smiley!
What happened in NYC today? Some sort of large storm I take it?
And our culture gets more bilingual every day, so it can only help her to know some spanish.
Getting back to this topic, for a moment, granted we live in a Spanish speaking place, but Ellie mixes Spanish and English all the time - aguamelon (my current favorite), mas apples, aqui baby, and so on. Thankfully, everyone here understands here but it always throws people when we are back in the US.

A blog kerfuffle bot [link]
Heh.
BlogWarBot: I'm BlogWarBot. Are you one of those radical feminists?
Guest: No, I'm a tree-hugger.
BlogWarBot: Do you recognize the privilege involved in your calling yourself a tree-hugger?
Guest: Yes.
BlogWarBot: You seem awfully positive. Did you read Rand as a child?
Guest: No.
BlogWarBot: That's the problem with people like you. You're never constructive about anything.
Guest: I know.
BlogWarBot: Typical. An expression of privileged ignorance.
Guest: You are so right.
BlogWarBot: Do you sometimes wish you were so right?
Guest: No. I don't know anything.
BlogWarBot: I'm sure you've oppressed a woman into know anythinging for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, why is it that the tornado was in Brooklyn, but people in Queens will still have a hell of a time trying to get home tonight? [link]

It was seriously just two inches of rain about 7 this morning, but it completely fucked up all public transit.

Our wings are not tired.

Wouldn't throw people in S. Florida. I find the mixed language thing fun. A lot of parents don't want their kids speaking anything other than English. They go through this big effort to not teach their children Spanish/Creole/Whatever. Like the kids aren't going to pick it up from all the adults around them.
