Well, The Wire has black folks and is urban. But I would not place, say, FResh Prince in the same category as the Wire, even if, weirdly enough,they both have David Simons working on staff. And what about "Seinfeld" and "Sex and The City"? They are completely about city people doing city stuff.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
After reading everyone's breakfast posts, I am now desperately craving cornmeal mush (and, completely irrationally, lox, which nobody here has mentioned at all).
Matilda's goose egg looks quite horrid. When she and I stopped at the 7-11 in Berkeley to get a quick cup of coffee, the 7-11 lady clucked her tongue and said, "Ice it, go put ice, all better." And then when my mom picked her up she clucked her tongue and said, "Didn't you ice it right away? You have to ice it!" I'm deeply ashamed. I feel like my years of acquaintance with ita and various other bruise-prone Buffistas have taught me nothing. Bad mama, no biscuit. Or lox.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
For specific buffistas.
erika: Right now on our local NPR show, Think, they are discussing forensic science and criminal investigation. I'm pretty sure the shows are downloadable.
juliana: My friend Charlie's bar is carrying Fernet. The other night he made us a shot that translates from the Spanish as "stoned motherfucker" It's Fernet, tequila and Sambucca. Also, Mr. Jane and I toasted you if you felt a little warmer on Saturday night and didn't know why.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
The other night he made us a shot that translates from the Spanish as "stoned motherfucker" It's Fernet, tequila and Sambucca.
Oh. Dear. Gods. I think the Spanish should actually be "Hello and Goodbye, Mr. Brain Cell". Or perhaps "vile concoction".
"Didn't you ice it right away? You have to ice it!"
Pffft. It's a bruise, bruises fade. You totally deserve lox.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Eh, I very rarely ice bruises. Now, if she had soft tissue damage you weren't RICE-ing, you'd be a total failure as a human being.

Well, it's bigger than a bruise. It's a big bulgy knot on her right temple, poor muffin.

Punishingly Intricate
aww thanks, Vortex!
I did FINALLY get some arnica after it being recommended to me for years to put on my impressive bruises. We'll see if it makes a bit of difference.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Bad mama, no biscuit.
Feh. Nothing gets me snarling quite like unsolocited parenting advice, and I think you deserve EXTRA biscuits for putting up with it.

Don't worry--you're new at this. I mean, I'm not even sure what "bigger than a bruise" even means. But any injury to your baby takes on monumental proportions.
She will be okay.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
She will be okay.
I'm sure of that, she didn't even cry that long. It just looks awful since she whanged her forehead right at the top and it's all abulgent and purple.
Oh well. At least it's in the standard head bonk zone for just learning to walk toddlers so it should not ping anybody's CPS instincts.
