Ginger: I'm beginning to think I should start a blog called "Fukushima Won't Kill You (But I'm Thinking About It)."
Cass: I'd subscribe.
Also it sounds like it should be a Fall Out Boy song title. Which is not a bad thing to me.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm catching up in Boxed Set and there were some gems:
Teppy and DH on Reign:
When I saw the commercial, I asked Tim, "Wait, THE Nostradamus?"
Tim: "Is there another? Joe Nostradamus?"
And bonny on the new Dracula:
In the ballroom scene, I thought, "Wow. Vera Wang has been in business for a looooong time."

ita in Natter:
Verizon called to offer me an international calling deal. I wasn't even going to listen, because most of my international calls are Google Talk, and 12¢ a minute to JA is pretty damned good.
However, last week Google was not letting me get through, so I called on the land line--which they have now told me cost $4.35/minute.
Seriously? How can you charge that much per minute for something with no orgasms?

So, I have no idea what her real skills are as an audiologist, but she definitely has what it takes to sell used cars.

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

The next person to point me to a news story, and then show me how much more sensitive he is by writing "Where's the outrage?" is going to meet my new Louisville Slugger, Outrage.

Always Anti-fascist!
Thanks! Zenkitty, in Bitches: was once informed that I am a sociopath. By the guy I was living with. He ended up in jail for a series of serious crimes. I did not.
So either I'm not a sociopath, or I'm a lot better at it than he was.

Dream conversation last night.
Me (to crowd): "This is a dream, and you will all vanish when I wake up."
Man in crowd: "In the unlikely event that is true, you are kind of a dick for saying so, and not letting us enjoy what little time we have."

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
In Natter --
Dana: Oh, god. Current job application contains this:
[Company Name] is a global firm with a compelling design philosophy; we believe in the power of design to transform organizations and improve people's lives. No matter what your professional discipline, we want you to tell us about your personal relationship with design.
msbelle: Design broke my heart when I was 23. It is still very painful.
tommyrot: I had this unrequited love thing for design. It was rather painful--thanks for reminding me.
amych: Design and I have coffee every third Thursday, but if I were to be totally honest, our friendship has drifted apart a bit since design's kids came along.
Sox: Design killed my brother.
Jesse: Frankly, I have a conflicted and sometimes difficult relationship with design. Boundaries!
Amy: Design bit my sister.
Steph: Design thinks it's too good for me, the stuck-up douche.
Suzi: I wish I had Design. And a root.
Connie Neil: I have always suspected Design's designs.
Jilli: Design and I are frenimies. It always asks me if I'm feeling okay, I look tired.
Zenkitty: Design spent the night; now the place looks great but I can't find anything. Wait, are these spoons?
Matt: Design drove me to a nervous breakdown, and I'm currently in an abusive relationship with it.
Beverly: I don't want to malign Design, but we have little to say to each other.
