There ARE really good schools. But you have to be an activist parent and willing to let your kid commute seriously (see, Taylor, and she's a lucky kid whose parents don't really know the ropes, but have had good guidance.) Baltimore schools are...well, with the way assignments happen, they are what you make of them. It's fucked up if you ask me. My hometown was so much more egalitarianly screwed/managed.

And it just dumbfounds me, honestly. But I grew up in a small, poor town with 3 HS, maybe only really 2 functionally. It was such that schools were pretty much equally funded, and by the time you got to HS, if you had a particular pref, you could argue your way in (LCH for arts and english, MHS for science and math.) And even then, once you graduated, the certificate was universally valid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, cheesiness. Tim Kang from The Mentalist, he of the Cho Business, is in a Shell gas ad. He smiles vapidly and it's really sad.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Olivia noticed a scab on his forehead and asked about his boo-boo. He admitted he was throwing up in the hotel sink and hit his head on the faucet. Ah, Vegas.

DUDE!

When are we all going?

until her face just had a look of betrayal and she stuck out her tongue

Oh, Sprog of P. I know that feeling. Buck up, little one.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

julianna -- job ma~~~`

and to ita , too. Plus an extra dose of brains to recruiters. Matt had more than one that wanted him to lie. Like it wouldn't have been exposed in the first interview. He had a least one that lied for him.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh, Sprog of P. I know that feeling. Buck up, little one.

I wanted so badly to ask her stance on the serial comma. But that's just mean if you have to explain what nouns are during the questioning.

Yeah. Best to move on to the "Olives - Tasty, Salty Treats, or Foul, Brackish Tricks?" debate before tackling the Grammar Wars.

Mmmm, tasty treats. Garlic stuffed are best.
