No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I love Steve Carrell and want to have his babies.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

awww ... that is sweet!

And, as kind of a tangent to the True Blood subject, I've noticed that the reviews - both newspape and radio - don't mention the books or Charlaine Harris. I mean, they wouldn't have done the show if the books weren't as popular as they are!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So much wrongness

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Shit.

I served in the IAF and was in touch with some pilots. Media doesn't tell anything about them, or if they survived this. But I don't think I'll call the people in my ex-unit after two years out of the blue to ask them if they know anything.

Shit.

(Edit: from the description of the accident, it sounds like they wouldn't make it. The ammunition blew up and the chopper went in flames, and it took a long while to the rescue teams to get to the area).

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

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Sorry, Shir.

and I'm going out on a limb here, but sharks do not belong in lakes.

Art Crawl!!!

Didn't they conclude that it had been somebody's (illegal) pet and then dumped into the lake - where it died because sharks are salt-water fish.

It looks like more people are renting in my neighborhood now--I know, what a big surprise, considering the housing market downturn. I was chatting with a couple in the apartment elevator last night who are going to be moving in at the end of the month (they were visiting a friend of theirs yesterday). I asked them if they minded me asking how much rent they're going to be paying for their 1BR unit, and was quite surprised to hear "$830," since I'm only paying $775.

They added that they lucked into getting this unit, because otherwise the wait was going to be at least a month for another open apartment. When I moved in back in May 2006, they had lots of open units available, which probably accounted for my getting the big break on deposit (only $200 for me and they didn't charge me the $300 for the cat deposit) and a $10 discount on my monthly rent. My complex is the cheapest in the area by at least $100, which adds to the popularity.
