OMG People did you know that MTV had a reality show about a HIGH SCHOOL NEWSPAPER?! It's pretty much exactly like my life in high school, and I'm willing to bet, like most of the buffistas'. When I saw the commercial for this on the same channel that makes bank off The Hills, I thought it was an April Fools joke. But NO! It is all true. It is NERDTASTIC. AND AWESOME. AND UNFORTUNATE.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Ticket prices on Amtrak are currently no cheaper than airfar and yet the travel will take you much much longer for most travel.I love the train for PNW travel.
It costs just under or the same as gas and I can read, write, catchy up on anything and generally not have to deal with traffic. I tend to take it for about half of my trips to Seattle.
Trip lengths for which flying isn't useful but I don't want to drive that long either? Train!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kat, that's appalling. The financial fuckovers you've had to deal with in the past twelve months are insane.

I read a few arguments about how if she wins it will have a chilling effect on academic works, but the argument seems thin.
Well, the site is here. I assume it started as a pure lexicon, but at this point it's more of an encylopedia, with a timeline of events, lists of places, essays on lord knows what. So it depends on what exactly is in the book, but it does seem like if she wins, it could dramatically change what is considered fair use.

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
I'm scared of the chinese buses, which are probably the best deal all around. Except when they are asshats.
I've taken them to Boston, DC, and Connecticut. They've been late about half the time, but I never felt unsafe.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm sorry, Kat. I hate it when life's acting all lifey on you.
Timelies. It's morning here, and Danah Boyd reminds me why I love reading her blog.
Also, I'm having a good music morning, with a lot of good emails and lack of work productivity. Probably just balance the extremely emotionally painful meeting I'll have tonight, with the current board of a non-profit Buffy organization I was involved with and helped to established between 2004-2007, and now, because they can't fucking function, they think about closing it.
I really don't want to think about it now. I'm going to return and enjoy my morning, as long as it will last.

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