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.

ION, I am driving myself insane trying to straighten up the mess of wires behind my TV and computer.

That's on my agenda today, too. I had to move my command central, as I call it, to another outlet. (It was on the same circuit as my new air conditioner and the circuit was not happy about it.) It's like a rat's nest back there.

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

Timelies all!

Quiet day here. At some point we will go to lunch and the supermarket, then I will be here the rest of the day. (G has some errands he needs to run that I don't need to be there for.)

Art Crawl!!!

Lee, that sort of thing happens due to the cruel task of having to make coffee before you've had any caffeine.

So far - today is pretty much like yesterday: dark, rainy, coolish. (Yesterday I think we got up to 62 here -- it's a beautiful thing.) Today we were supposed to be getting lots of t-storms. In fact, there are t-storms in the forecast through Wedsnesday at least.

And my allergies are annoying me this morning.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Tom, your old 27" tv would be an upgrade for me! My television is the 20" Zenith I bought in 1995. Maybe it's time for a new tv... but since I've decided to buy a house, any major purchases should go on hold until I save up a downpayment.

msbelle, I saw your fictional boyfriend last night. I should let you know that if you are at all prone to motion-sickness, sit far back in the theater.

I'm all for cinema verite, but this hand-held camera thing kind of sucks.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Zen, if you want to come to Brooklyn and pick it up, it's yours.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Anyone know of a way to clean silver in the absence of silver polish?

Aluminum foil, hot water, baking soda, and salt. Best of all, you don't have to do any rubbing/polishing. Chemistry, yay!

Is it just me, or does this article have an undercurrent of "Wimmens shouldn't be allowed to have male friends once they belong to their boyfriend"?

Ick. Why is the answer automatically "Because they're probably having an affair" and not "Because you're a paranoid control freak who needs to learn about trust and platonic friendships"?

See, the problem starts when a man lets his woman leave the house. Well, no. It probably started back when the wimmins started learning to read. That way lies nothing but "liberation" and badness.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Right on! Yay for procrastination, because I really meant to do that toothpaste thing last night.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I am insane. I seem to have trouble distinguishing between "can I pick it up?" and "can I carry it any distance?" In short, I have a new TV, but it may be hours before I have the strength back to put the old one down and the new one up.

I blame/credit George Pelecanos for the fact that I will never buy anything those salesmen want me to buy. So I don't have HDTV cables or some shit, but then, I don't have an HDTV cable box, either. I'll deal with that the next time I feel like dealing with the cable company.
