Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I need tips on shoulder flexibility.

You know this stretch: [link] ? Yeah, I can't do it. I can't even lift my clasped hands this high: [link] .

What's a good stretch (other than that one, obviously) that would help open up my shoulders so I can lift my arms higher behind my back?

Yeah, I can't do it. I can't even lift my clasped hands this high:

Maybe you have that disease where you're slowly ossifying.

We can always use you as a mannequin.

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

That was a conservative costume compared to the woman who attended as Aeon Flux.

I felt all prudish thinking to myself that those sorts of costumes shouldn't be on the floor on Sunday afternoon what with the little kids and all.

There was a family (parents, a baby, and a toddler) all dressed like The Incredibles and it was adorkable.

I'm getting meaner by the day, BTW. I mean, seriously MEAN. I've somehow lost the ability to tolerate stupid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have absolutely fucking had it with people who have a new "emergency" that I have to deal with every fucking week.

That is all.

I think in my case, the disease is good old-fashioned laziness. Even when I work out (as in: walk on treadmill) on a regular basis, I frequently neglect stretches. And the older I get, the less stretchy I get. (And I was never particularly stretchy to begin with.)

We can always use you as a mannequin.

Yay fun!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The skirt I am wearing today, which I always thought was brown, seems to actually be black. Or not. I can't tell.

Perhaps my problem is that I don't know what fandom that is.

Sometimes the fandom is "Excuse to be Half-Naked in Public."

The bandom wank cracks me up. That first poster -- she couldn't have figured out it wasn't a good idea? And now she's all pitiful that people are descending on her LJ and disagreeing with her.

Punishingly Intricate

You know this stretch: [link] ? Yeah, I can't do it.

I used to not be able to do that but now I can. Um...hmmm...mostly it was a matter of just doing it a lot I think. And other yoga poses that promote shoulder flexibility. I can check with my yoga instructor friend for some tips.

It means that you're good at your job, Jesse. And the reward for being good at your job is: more work!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

The skirt I am wearing today, which I always thought was brown, seems to actually be black. Or not. I can't tell.

I am wearing a black and red skirt; sadly, it is accompanied by a black turtleneck that I thought was pure black but turns out to be black with entertaining whorled patterns of baby blurp on the shoulders, which I didn't notice until I went to the restroom ten minutes ago. Sigh.

The person with the emergencies doesn't even work here! Which is the problem -- it's a funder, so of course I have to keep jumping, even when what she's essentially saying is, "Can you do my job for me? THX."
