Our wings are not tired.

I love that he's a soldier on the corner but has watched enough Oprah that his vocabulary contains "insight"

Yeah. But nothing will ever be as poignant as Wallace pointing out that Hamilton was never a president. Sigh. Still makes me teary. Damn you, David Simon.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

Thanks Jesse!

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

What do you say to someone when they just refuse to do something about a situation that is their fault. It's not a big enough deal to make a stink over, but it's bullshit

Here's the sitch -- I have a storage area in my new place. I didn't pay for it. There is no light in the area. First, they gave me some bullshit about how it was open at the top for light to come in, etc. Then, when I called them on that (because that wasn't true), they said "there's nothing I can do" Now, it's not something to sue over, but it's bullshit that they're just refusing to address the issue. I didn't pay for it, so I can't get my money back (which I would demand if I had), but I want to say something to garner a response.

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

So, we hear him breathing, tapping his pen, his clothing rustling, etc. Ugh.

I hate careless noisemakers. Mute is a blessing unto us all, on both ends of the line.

There's a tapper on my floor at work--not near my seat, thankfully. But he's really bad. Hands, feet, and implements. It's consistent enough that it probably constitutes a compulsion, but I'm not sure I could work within earshot.

'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"

Surely there has to be something in the building code about rooms having to have light, somewhere, or at least sockets to power lights with?

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

Timelies all!

So very sleepy....

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Is this racism/sexism survey for reals???

not your mom's socks.

I've heard nursing (didn't bother me) on a missionfish call, and - honest - several potty breaks. Really didn't need the latter. Especially the bathroom chatter.

I have a storage area in my new place.

gods Vortex - this has been going on since December, at least. sure, you didn't pay for it, but it came with your Condo. that means that condo fees are supporting it? You are well within your rights to be furious - if not to legalize their asses. this seems like ... forgive me... but they thought property management would be easy?

We are moving stuff around our house again, after cleaning up the Baltimore house for the (hopefully) last time. The buyer's walk-through was today. Closing is Thursday. We didn't get killed, but we're not exactly rolling in it. We're just it's almost over, and that we haven't yet throttled anyone.

but our realtor really should go sit in a corner with Cashmere's. IJS.

ok, yeah. we kind of got killed.

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