'Shells'
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.
I have such a lack of sense of humour when it comes to stealth dating.
I'm not a fan of the stealth date. It makes everything awkward when people I know have imaginary relationships with me, and also I refuse to apologize for any infidelities I've committed before I've been made aware of my sekrit girlfriend status.
Oh yeah. Awesome stealth fun times.
I fell asleep with the TV on, and just woke up to Elvis Costello and Madeleine Albright singing "don't Fence Me In" on Conan. It was quite surreal. Also, Madeleine Albright has a really nice voice!
Now there is some sort of metal type band seriously dressed like Demons from Buffy.
I've been reading the Newsweek story. It reads like a thriller even though I already know the outcome.
One of the things I've been thinking about is that the Baby Boomers only got a president for eight years. Whoever comes after Obama is not going to be from that generation.
Isn't Clinton Baby Boom?
ETA: And W. for that matter.
Well, Clinton is who I meant by the eight years, but you're right - I plumb forgot about W. Apparently my brain is already trying to expunge him.
In sum: 16 years of Baby boomer rule. If Hillary had won, it would've been at least 20, maybe 24.
Isn't Clinton Baby Boom?
ETA: And W. for that matter.
Yes to both. Hec, by "Baby Boom" do you in fact mean "born at the same time as me?"
ETA: blast! You cross-posted reason at my snark! I am defeated!
Although the most common definitions I've seen of the boomer generation have it ending in either '62 or '64, in which case Obama fits in at the tail end.
If you meant Clinton, now I'm confused. Obama is technically Baby Boom too. So the Baby Boomers will have had at least 20! Enough I say! Bring on Generation X!
I had a stealth boyfriend for a while. That was embarassing to cotton onto--many years later. Which is perhaps why I am so tetchy about individual stealth dates. There was even a guy who was giving tips--"Just ask her out for dinner as a friend. She'll go!" right in front of my face. Passive aggressive poor loser dick. He swore it wasn't a date. And then sent me a soppy email just as soon as he got home.
Great news, Sophia!
I hadn't heard the expression Stealth Date before, and ugh.
Shiny report, Sophia!
Go Baby Boomers! I've heard many ranges applied to the Baby Boom, but all of them include my birth year.
I'm still a bit stunned about my mother not voting for Obama because he was so Young and Inexperienced. I personally remember how enthusiastic she was over Jack Kennedy. I let her know how I felt about that argument.
Sorry about the job nervousness, Kristin. Doesn't help moral in the workplace much.
