Oh, wait, duh. I don't need a new TV because we have satellite; if I want to watch HDTV, I'll need a new TV.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yes, but shouldn't that apply to behaviors, not, I don't know, states of being? Caught kissing on school grounds, okay. Identifying oneself as a lesbian? Ugh. Private school, I know, but still.
Some Jewish schools require that all students be Jewish. (Some require only one Jewish parent, some require the child be Jewish according to Jewish law, and some require two Jewish parents, even though a child of a Jewish mother and a non-Jewish father is Jewish according to Jewish law.) A bunch of Christian colleges require students and faculty to sign a statement of faith.

Frickin' DTV conversion. I keep forgetting about it. I guess I need to buy a new TV, and freecycle the old one.
OK, you know you only need the converter if you have no cable at all? people with rabbit ears and antennas. That's it.

Yeah, no, I figured that out after I actually read the website.

Who loves you, baby?:
Post-partisanship lives. The stimulus package just passed the House, with the billions in corporate tax cuts, without the money to re-sod the National Mall, without the money for family planning for poor people, and without one Republican vote. Without one. Final vote was 244-188 as 11 "Democrats" crossed over.
I'm actually glad about this - I think it's not a bad thing for Obama to get an object lesson in how sincere the Republican leadership is when they ask for concessions in return for "bipartisan" support.

I opened my retirement fund statement. Uhg. I could've handled being an ostrich a little longer.

No way I'm going anywhere near that thing. Not for like a year.

I didn't realize what it was (I thought it might be my w2. That was the second I opened,) opened it and just saw the huge -29% before I even read the top of the page. OUCH. At least I can spin it that all of what I lost, I didn't put it? (Employer matching.) Maybe? I know it doesn't work that way, but... I can pretend. Hey, I've got another 30+ years.
