Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Trudy, you know Joe Rogan is a cousin of the brothers Way, right?

Maternal second cousin!

Um...

Yes. I knew that.

My new fannishness is terrifying, fyi. Some interview mentioned some diner they hung out in and I'm all "I LOVE that diner."

'Cause, sure, heartbeat away from them for years and all...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Of course. What is fandom for, if not to whore one's self out for the praise of strangers?

WOOHOO

and I don't know.

Edited in the light of day. Not that it really matters.

I know the burden is on her to forgive. It doesn't impact me personally. But holy hell, I am angry. Angry at her husband, mostly, but to some degree at her for reasons I can't quite articulate.

Mostly I guess I'm sad. Too many kids screwed in this whole fucked up thing. I just want...fuck if I know.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh, I'm sorry sarameg.

And egad, the things I learn here. I'm totally pissed that the "rebate" actually needs to be repaid. Grrr.

That Hitchcock thing is interesting. Is it just me, or is Renee Zellweger unrecognizable? I was sitting there guessing: Sarah Jessica Parker? No. Helen Hunt? No. Helen Mirren?? Naah. Never guessed Zellweger.

Damn, sarameg. That'd be tough. I mean, I could maybe forgive an indiscretion while we were apart, but an indiscretion where you ended up with a kid?? And had to pay child support?? That would be reallllly hard to let go of, because it would just keep affecting you. Eesh.

Ack! meara, I assume you've heard about this? WTF?

Yeah, it's messed up. The March show was supposed to be our...nine?...year anniversary. And instead it's probably canceled. It's a bunch of NIMBY powerhungry freaks who are using any excuse to shut shit down. Of course, the club itself is a bit sketch on some of the particulars, but so are a LOT of places in DC--they're definitely targeting this one. Which sucks ASS. There's been lots of chatter on the listserv, but at this point it's mostly the club and lawyers, and not a lot to be done.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I just read that article, meara. How horrid. You know, since I've started writing down three things I'm thankful for several days a week, I've become much more positive and optimistic, but some times, people just suck.

I am sad that no one answered my belt question. Maybe we should have a fashion thread.

I need a photo. I can't see it. However, I fourth the fashion thread.
