Does Fox put House online or something?
Oh, I think they do! Of course the page won't load for me right now...
Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

For a woman, time with her parents often resembles work, whether it’s helping them pay bills or plan a family gathering. “For men, it tends to be sitting on the sofa and watching football with their dad,”
More evidence that My Family Is Not Like Other People's Families. Apparently, there's less "Tell me again about Thomas Becket?" in other households.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
More evidence that My Family Is Not Like Other People's Families.
Yeah, me too. Unless more elderly people live with/near their daughters than sons? I mean, my mother does more "work" for her mother, because she lives downstairs and is mostly blind. Actually, I think my father does most of the work there, so that still falls apart.

Seriously. I hope some of these shows get canceled soon.
Monday was two hours of Dr. Who followed by Heroes.
My night last night:
7pm: Gossip Girls (I don't think this is going to last much longer
8pm: An hour of frantic cleaning instead of watching SVU
9pm:Bones
10pm: House
11pm:How to Look Good Naked
And I was cleaning my house during commercial breaks.

One thing I like about this place is the quirks and oddities.
I think we're made entirely of quirks and oddities.

New (and old) research shows that exercise may actually do fuck-all for weight loss. Oh, and diet doesn't do much either. Basically, trying to lose weight is a big waste of time all around.
Hell, *I* could have told them *that*....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Basically, trying to lose weight is a big waste of time all around.
Except of course, when it works. I mean, it'd be easier if it were always a big waste of time, wouldn't it? Too easy.

Exercise may not do much for weight loss, but I suspect it can be proven that it does nice things for overall health/strength.
(Also, my personal experience with exercise shows it tends to enhance weight loss attempts....)

The play I went to last night was AWESOME, so amazingly awesome, and Frank Iero was so adorable on yesterday's LA Ink that I may have tried to hug my TV. And apparently my new glasses are already in! And there may be hope that our dishwasher will finally be fixed today!
Now if only I'd gotten more than two hours of sleep last night.

A big reason that women reported being happier three decades ago — despite far more discrimination — is probably that they had narrower ambitions, Ms. Stevenson says.
Silly women! Goals are for boys.

Punishingly Intricate
Sorry about that, lisah. No ideas at all?
Oh, it was a good idea to look on bluefly. There are so many choices there. But so much empire waists and babydoll and trapeze dresses. So not right for me. Also, I'm looking for something not black or grey or red and there really didn't seem to be much. oh well!
I did buy an amazing silver with gold threading early 60s-style cocktail dress at a vintage-ish store in my neighborhood the other day. It fits almost like it was made for me. Unfortunately it is way inappropriate to wear to a wedding. It would be one step below wearing a fancy white dress to a wedding in terms of rudeness. It's just that showy.
