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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Steph, yeah, I think pointing out to boss lady that you're going to have to report it legally and it will eventually come back to haunt the company -- you can phrase it as being concerned for the sake of the company. Besides, seriously, I would have expected that having to account for monies spent developing a book would be stuff you can deduct from the taxes owed by the company.

I got my student ID today! Now I can into movies at a reduced rate, woohoo!

In the absence of Tom's customary relevant links, may I present Francorp founder jailed for tax fraud?

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

I can't get over this sentence from yesterday's vaginal reconstruction link:

Some patients say having a sleeker, thinner labia makes a tremendous difference in their lives.

I...I...I just don't get it. But perhaps I spend too much of my life wearing underwear.

If you're being a pedant about kilo- and mega- and powers of two, you're wrong. Hmmph.

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

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Trudy!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Am I crazy, or does "General Petraeus" sound like a Star Trek character?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I was thinking more 300, but yeah. "We! Are! Aaaaaaaaaarmy!!!

Whoot!

Also, the Moment of Zen from last night's Daily Show has Larry Craig calling Bill Clinton a "nasty dirty boy," and he's really enjoying it. I swear to god.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

See, for me, it sounds more like Doctor Zaius.

I'm thinking of buying wine online. I hadn't thought that they shipped to CA for some reason, but the first American site I tried (I kinda fell for the Australians and their own sneaky dollar signs--sorry about the abandoned cart, guys!) says they do.

I thought I'd try Bevmo, it being local and all, but it didn't have the brand of wine (Shinas Estate, read on Bloomberg) that triggered this urge to shop without actually going into a store because they do not much other than make me feel ignorant. And fail to have Dragon Stout.

Any good recommendations for an online vendor?
