I think that you mean McNamara.

I'm not sure how I'm feeling about Nip/Tuck. I kind of called the drug thing with Matt. I remember thinking, " he looks like a junkie ", but I didn't actually think that he was. As long as it doesn't veer into ridiculousness

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was thinking that, too, Vortex, when he came to ask for money the second time. Something about his posture.

Okay, I have just discovered my 79 year old father is on Facebook.

Go, dad of Sue? I feel like this occasion ought to lend itself to some sort of insight along the lines of shoeshine boys trading stock tips heralding the Crash, but I can't quite put it together.

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

I think that you mean McNamara.

Whoops. Christian and Sean. And the second time Matt came round for the money he looked twitchy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Airship Ventures, a company based in the San Francisco Bay Area, has a thing for rigid helium filled airships. They plan to bring a modern carbon composite Zeppelin and offer sightseeing flights around the Bay to the public for $250-500 a ride, perhaps as soon as October 2008.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm accidentally watching the local news, and now I'm all nervous about flying tomorrow. But it's still the shuttle! They still have their own security area for two flights out per hour! OK, they sometimes let other flights leave from down there, but still -- I've never waited in a line there ever.

I am sadly over Nip/Tuck. It's just not fun anymore.

Agreed, but we're tuning in for Julia's storyline!

The U.S. Military is demanding that thousands of wounded service personnel give back signing bonuses because they are unable to serve out their commitments.

To get people to sign up, the military gives enlistment bonuses up to $30,000 in some cases.

Now men and women who have lost arms, legs, eyesight, hearing and can no longer serve are being ordered to pay some of that money back.
