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.
David Pogue on children and the internet:
Sure, there are dangers. But they’re hugely overhyped by the media. The tales of pedophiles luring children out of their homes are like plane crashes: they happen extremely rarely, but when they do, they make headlines everywhere. The Internet is just another facet of socialization for the new generation; as always, common sense and a level head are the best safeguards.
Overdue babypicspam.
So cute. Other parents: there's a lot of overdue babypicspam going around. We need pictures.
What was the setting of the MacBeth, Jesse? It sounds like a fairly modern setting, given the lack of bowties in early Scotland.
Timelies all!
Gonna head out soon to go to the library and buy a gift for a wedding shower. Yup, another exciting Saturday.
It's left off snowing in exchange for melting fast. Now, that's improvement I can stand behind.
Holy CRAP, flirty!Noah killed me dead.
And I can hug him WHENEVER I WANT!
Perhaps today? Kat, I woke up a bit late, so I'm leaving here at 9:30...where am I going?
Here's hoping that more hands make the packing faster and kind of fun.
I'm doing my programming homework. Which is frustrating, but not as frustrating as being a couple chapters behind, anyway.
I have zero non-standard (i.e. beyond acupuncture, therapy, massage, teaching) plans for this weekend, and I hope that works out. Just that and taking two pictures and sleeping. I need a leg up.

Good evening, lovely people! Would you be able to help me out with a grammar question, perchance?
A friend just emailed me the following question:
My dad and I were discussing 2 people and he said they were "living in other other's' pockets." Please can you put us out of our misery by telling me what part of speech that falls into as we are stuck trying to find the word. We have tried oxymoron and paradox so please help.Initially I thought she wanted to know what to do with the apostrophe, but evidently not. (Although, come to that - to my horror, I'm not entirely sure about the apostrophe! My gut feeling is other's, since it pertains to 2 people, each of which has only one other - each living in the other's pocket...yes? No? Ack!) However, I realise that actually that's not what she's asking. It's not an oxymoron, clearly - I'd have said a metaphor, surely? I mean, I suppose it's paradoxical, but I wouldn't have termed it a paradox because it's metaphorical anyway...
Help me, ObiWanKaHivemind! You're my only hope!
Metaphor?
