'Sleeper'
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.
And then there are otherwise nice people who are only abusive when drunk, for instance. And who tearfully and honestly swear they'll never do it again
That was my dad, apparently.
I really think it's a bad idea to let the pigeon have control of the bus. I don't even see why it's a question.
It's not a mature pigeon.
And it doesn't have opposable thumbs.
Pigeon oppressor!
Pigeon oppressor!
Better than wrapping them in pastry and eating them en croute, though, eh? I'm only disenfranchising them.
My sister is IMing me and watching Poltergeist. She's a delicate soul.
Me, I'm mainlining Being Human (which thread did the recs for that appear in?) with mixed response.

IM her to not go into the light!
Amanda Marcotte I think has a good analysis on this:
For way too long I wondered why anyone would care enough about the pigeon issue to write a blog entry.
But then I clicked through.
How long does it take to get a passport these days?
lisah, can you give me the skinny on the Alameda? I don't know so much.
That's one part of the city I really don't know that much about. Maybe try the charmcity lj group? I can ask around too.
Do not talk smack about the pigeon, yo.
I love the Naked Mole Rat book.
I am tired as I had an unfortunate visit from the insomnia fairy. It was No Good At All.
Spent my AM with Grace and my PM looking at the Science exhibit at the Huntington Library (which was AWESOME.... even better than the Ellesmere Chaucer or the Gutenberg Bible). Am home now.
Ikea didn't have the chair I wanted. Am mad. But I did have swedish meatballs. nom nom nom.
One of my neighbors has banned the pigeon books from her house because she sees them as manuals for How To Throw A Temper Tantrum.
And she's not 100% wrong on that, but, you know, it's not like the pigeon's whining ever gets him anywhere. He doesn't get to drive the bus OR stay up late, he changes his mind about the puppy AND he winds up sharing the hot dog!
Um. It's possible I've overthought this issue.
