How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

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

Timelies all!

I'm sleepy, my shoulder hurts and it's too cold here. Must be Monday.

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

Whoa. Did Jilli see this?

It's bizarre to me that the poll question is: Do you know anyone who dresses goth?

I mean. That's the poll question?

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

In very exciting (but only to me) news. I get to go to the University of Washington at University of Oregon home opener football game this year. Yay!

My brother has season tickets, but will be in Europe and says I can have his tickets.

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

That's the poll question?

28% of responders say no, so maybe it did bear asking.

Yep. I've been following that news story, and I'm REALLY GLAD the attackers are being sent away for life.

It's bizarre to me that the poll question is: Do you know anyone who dresses goth?

That kinda made me tilt my head quizzically, but I know there are lots of people out there who've never met a goth.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

WTF is WRONG with people?!?

And WTF is wrong with our society that we keep on ignoring the signs of obvious wrongness?

grrr.

I ask myself those questions all the time, Burrell.

Hah. I just got Cordelia's "What is your childhood trauma?" quote when I read that. So appropriate.

My suspicion is that it goes well beyond the individual and his/her childhood trauma.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I really don't know what's wrong with some people.

I also don't know what's wrong with my cable, but that's a much less important problem. It does mean that I now have a 10-2 appointment on Friday, which feels kind of ideal right now, because it means working from home.
