I'm noodling around Hulu and looking at pilots. I just started watching something called Royal Pains. My reaction thus far: the white privilege, it burrrrrrrns. Oy.
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think that that's the show's entire premise, shrift. Although I suppose an oil magnate could show up. I doubt they'll deal with the area's black residents.
I have the premiere on my TiVo waiting to be watched, but there's tennis and MSM that has my current attention.
My weekend will be spent studying ways to convince Jamaican men to stop spreading AIDS.

I was having a problem with it before we even got to the Hamptons, so I guess it's not going to be the show for me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What American socialism looks like, in handy pie-chart form.
Perhaps useful for forwarding to people who complain about how American is socialist now....

Guess what I am doing, in my own home right this minute? LAUNDRY!!!!!
So awesome. I don't need quarters. I don't need a card. I don't have to share. And in 2 years, it'll be like no more quarters!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I know! I keep telling people this. Hugo Chavez is taking over banks and utilities. That's nationalizing. What we are doing is so not socialism. Socialism might be better than what we are doing, what with the owning and the no control, but still. We are a long way from socialism.
Also, mmm, pie.

Grrr. I think Tino cut my hair. Stupid hipster-er than thou Tino! With his condescending looks and not paying attention and not listening to me! Stupid me, with not going to my usual person just because I desperately needed a haircut and am never in town and she canceled on me twice because she has been out sick for four days! STUPID TINO CUTTING MY HAIR! GRRRR.
