There was a big hoohah in DC recently about how in all the not-gentrified areas of the city, the drugstores were locking up the condoms. Which, even if you weren't planning to steal them is a PITA, sicne the people who WORK at those drugstores tend to be ASS at customer service...

Happy Earth Day Earth! Thanks for the gravity, atmosphere, and magnetic field!

So last night I mentioned Buzkashi and it turned out that my daughter already knew all about it. It wasn't because she plays it at recess, it's something she read about in a horse book.

Seriously, I'm ready for the whole steampunk retelling of Star Wars at this point. Let's just do it already.

It might even be better than the prequels. Actually, since Star Wars Episode IV (the original one) showed up on the TV schedule I went ahead and recorded and watched it. So much better.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

You know - I have no problem giving someone my list and having them go fetch things. It is the half-assed somethings you have to ask some thing you don't.

The status is NOT quo.

My local CVS locks up condoms, pregnancy tests, and razors. I haven't noticed about the baby formula for obvious reasons. The CVS is on the fringe of a gentrified area, but it definitely isn't gentrified itself..

Pregnancy tests? I can't think of a good reason they would be locked up.

I figure if you need to steal a pregnancy test, then please! Of course, I != CVS.

Because people would steal rather than face the embarrassment of taking them to the counter.

Now that makes sense.

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

My bathroom ceiling is caving in!!!!!

Holy ass. SO SCARY. I was in the shower when water started dripping on me from the ceiling. I looked up, and it was bloated like a balloon expanding. I still have conditioner in my hair, I think.

Aiieee! This is the bathroom in the place you are moving out of though, right? You're not in the new place yet?
