I have heard this kind of thing before. There's no effing way.
Willow: Yes. Hi. You must be Angel's handsome, yet androgynous, son. Connor: It's Connor. Willow: And the sneer's genetic. Who knew?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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
We're going through the AT&T U catalogue, it's fairly comparable.

Because books.
Time Warner cable appears to be canceling comedy central, nickelodeon, and MTV.
That sound you hear? Millions of five-year-olds heads exploding Thursday morning. Or possibly their parents' bodies hitting the floor.

My NYE will be spent in the DC/VA/MD region. Driving up tomorrow morning, stopping by to visit my aunt in Vienna, meeting up with the friend I'm staying with. Calling our other friends to make plans... which will be dinner somewhere and board games, most likely. Then back to Vienna for a NY Day brunch at another friend's with all the same people from NYE and possibly more, and then I'll putter around and leave sometime in the afternoon. Not exciting, but I will be happy to see my peeps.
Got my replacement license today and bought a new wallet.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Dudes. Time Warner cable appears to be canceling comedy central, nickelodeon, and MTV.
Huh. Well if it's true I expect that will be one easy way to save $50 a month or so, probably switch to DSL instead too.

Punishingly Intricate
I have NYE off! And I didn't realize it until last week. Nice surprise. So I'm going to yoga and lunch w/ friend. Then best friend from SF will come to town and we'll maybe go to a friend's party and definitely bring some personal-sized champagnes and go to the ball drop at the Miracle on 34th St. Then New Year's Day brunch.
For now, I have to get myself off the couch and take the dog for a walk and go to bed. Couch so comfy though.

My NYE plans are to spend a relaxing evening at home. Alone. I haven't had any time alone in two weeks, and I am getting TWITCHY.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
NYE: We have a Rock Band party with fencers. I foresee a potentially blackmailable combination of competitiveness and sheer dorkitude.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Huh. Interesting case. [link]
A lesbian couple from New Jersey who were barred from holding a civil union ceremony last year at a beachfront pavilion owned by a church group won a legal victory on Monday.
I'm kind of torn on this one. And I want to know what that pavilion has been used for in the past -- if it's been mostly just church stuff, then I'd see it differently than if it's been rented out for a lot of different things. A place that's owned by a church but not used as a church seems tricky.
