Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Maria, why do you have an *extra* vacuum cleaner??

Even so, you're attaching an address to the use of the card, presumably an address where you might one day be when someone comes looking.

Yeah--one time I got my bill and had a random charge from Domino's. I disputed it, and they took it off...I didn't change my number at the time, because nothing else came up that wasn't mine. I kinda wondered if the card company ever checked into where that pizza went...

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

I just came back from a freak show. It was pretty good, but they really need to rehearse more. The dwarf dancing barefoot on broken glass was the best part.

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

I'm watching the Beckinsale-starring adaptation of Emma, and...it's so damned fast! Why is it moving so fast? I feel quite tired.

Somehow the idea that a freakshow needs rehearsing sits weirdly with me.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

why do you have an *extra* vacuum cleaner??

Because I, um, am known to be harsh on vacuum cleaners. Growing up, part of my chores included NOT touching any vacuum cleaner in the house under penalty of death. I am the Grim Reaper of expensive floor cleaning tools. My special gift is sending them across the Carpet Styx. Ergo the need for one in reserve.

It also comes in handy when one of us is too lazy to come upstairs and grab the main one out of the foyer closet. (The storage room is in the basement.)

Yeah--one time I got my bill and had a random charge from Domino's.

This happened to me with my Corporate Amex. Someone in the Detroit suburbs decided that they couldn't stomach paying for Domino's either so they stole my number, probably from one of the times I was at the Ren Cen Marriott. I called to dispute the charge, it was immediately taken off my bill, and I had a new card and number the next day. I never heard another word about it.

Allyson, congratulations on the new apartment, though I'm sorry for the aggravation your soon-to-be landlord has put you through. Yay for more than one room!

I'm sitting in the weird corner with ita. It's just odd.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I hope it goes/has gone swimmingly Kevin. You have loads of interesting stories to tell, if your pixels here are any indication so, probably not a problem!

Thank you! It went super. So super, in fact, I was a total slut.

I'm almost ready for my big presentation to my last Web Design class -- of course this meant a late night and less than five hours sleep, but still, I'm mostly ready.

Theo, good luck on your presentation!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I've been at work for an hour. I'm getting frustrated because there are no internets yet this morning.

Hears pin drop.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Scola, you were in my dream last night. You killed a tarantula for me. Seriously. It was creeping around on the floor, and I was freaking out, and you tried to explain to me that they make great pets, but I kept freaking out, so you went over and stepped on it, and then scooped it up in a paper towel and took it out to the trash.

I was very very grateful. You are my hero.

That was followed immediately by the dream where I have to take college final exams for classes I never attended. I fucking HATE that dream.
