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.

'Never Leave Me'


Natter 64: Yes, we still need you  

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.

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

I just got a letter stating my insurance company will cover breast reduction surgery. Wow.

WOOO. You should talk to Nicole about that.

I CAN HAZ PIECE OF HUBBLE IN MY OFFICE RIGHT NOW!

TOO COOL

Kirk Cameron is in fact a nutcase.

East coast people, how was Flash Forward?

I got to spend the day trying to find diversity and community involvement information about someone whose idea of community involvement is sending out letters asking for money for Alberto Gonzalez and inviting members of the AFA into his office to discuss how to stop catering to TEH Gays.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

East coast people, how was Flash Forward?

Definitely worth watching. (Dude, JOHN CHO.)

I am definitely looking forward to it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dammit, I don't have time for new shows!

Damnit, coworker forgot to tell me about open swim. I've never swam in anything other than a pool. I want to try open water (though I know it will suck, but it is part of my new try-this attitude.) And she keeps forgetting!

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

Effing hate the passive voice rule. Sometimes, there's no choice BUT passive voice.

Sometimes, but it's death to evocative writing. It's the number one thing I edit in my own writing. Passive voice is for dissembling politicians and watery/domestic bureaucrats.

The other basic 80/20 rule in writing is lay off the adverbs.

Adverbs are the crack of writing. Sure, sometimes you want a hit off the crack pipe, but you've got to keep it under control! (He said, furtively.)

Also, either my swimsuit is suffering from fatigue after not even 3 weeks (and it is a performance suit I've been babying) or my ass is shrinking. Which most would welcome, but I have no ass to begin with!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

One of my co-workers goes to the rehearsal of the Thursday SNL almost every week - it's dead easy to get into because most people want to be at the show, not the rehearsal, and almost no tourists realize that a Thursday SNL is even an option. (She likes going to the rehearsal because there's usually at least one extra sketch, and she likes to see what they change.)
