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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Awesome. You seriously rawk, Allyson.

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

Having an online chat session with a RoadRunner.com guy who thinks that I should address google.com being a non-existing domain by changing my account preferences so I won't get that message anymore.

Fucko! Give me google.com. Stop acting like an ass.

At least he's still talking to me. The support guy before him told me that the problem with being redirected here: [link] was that there's a ww23 in the URL, and I should try just rr.com.

People get paid money to say that. Incredible.

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

This story has got me baffled. [link] Two pedestrians were hit by a passenger train. How does that happen? I can see one pedestrian somehow missing that a train is coming and getting hit, or multiple people in a car, but how could two pedestrians both fail to get out of the way of a train?

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Were they pushed?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Were they doing drugs (or whatever) together down the tracks, maybe?

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

Oh wait...I was using the metric system. My bad.

Good for NoiseDesign, good for America.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Maybe the second one tried to rescue the first one and failed?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

If a team for a project happens to be made up entirely of men, do people normally feel a need to point that out? I just did a show with an all female tech team and a few times someone brought up the "all-girl" or "all-women" thing.

And I just got a request to interview with an all-female theatre company.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

No, because all-male, or at least male-dominated, is assumed to be the default.
