Well, I made a good guess for a western new yorker. Of course we have Charlotte (shar-LOT) and Chili (Chy-lye), and also Conesus (Con - ee -shus).

Heh. From my sister, who appears to be having one of those fortunately/unfortunately kind of days:
"So this is my morning.
8:00am barely drag my a** out of bed because I’m so hungover from celebrating our apartment news [they got a great new place yesterday]
8:40am stumble into work forgetting that we had an all staff this morning
9:30am finally got my ONE YEAR anniversary gift!
9:45am puke in the bathroom
9:50 lay on couch in andreas delfs office feeling like death
10:00 am get called into Larry’s [new boss's] office
10:02am I GOT PROMOTED!!!!!!"
Now they're all off to spend the afternoon on a boat cruise on Lake Michigan. Should be interesting...

Oh my dude. Some guy is suing for a bad book review:
He sues everyone. He is a darling of the creationists, not because he is a creationist, but because they use his crude attempts to advance his childish, uninformed theories as evidence of "controversy" about evolution. Moron.
Some one figured out that the Enterprise (Kirk version) had only one bathroom so....
Warnings: sound & video on a very short loop. so don't bother watching it longer than it takes you to get the joke.

Man, I was prepared to be contemptuous of his sue-happy ways, but now I feel like crawling under my desk and not coming back out until I can come up with ten reasons not to exploderate the universe.
Disturbing video from GodTube:
OK. I'm not a pacifist. I'm writing military historical fiction, and I kinda love swords. And that video STILL gives me the creeps. I just don't recognize their Christianity. It's nothing like mine. It's not even like the evangelicalism/fundamentalism I grew up with. Something's changed. It's like the more power they get, the more invested they are in being a persecuted minority that needs to go on the warpath. I don't get it.

There, that's half of the work.
Hec, will Emmett be around this weekend? (That is, when I'M IN SAN FRANCISCO?)
Sorry, no. He's at Mom's house this weekend. You're going to miss his new weird affectation: talking like Sammy Davis, Jr.
And I get to meet Matilda!!!
She's totally fun!
Jess, not only is Emmett going to middle school, he's almost five feet tall and weighs 107 pounds (most of which is pretty beefy muscle).
