megan, I had a dream that you were calling me, but I couldn't pick up the phone because I was in a lecture, but i was really worried about you in the dream.
That is all.
Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

That made me envision an Olympic stadium with a huge "WELCOME, FUCKOS!" banner hanging over the entrance.

I love both these ideas!
I'm happy Rio got it
1) because of it already being in London in 2012
2) because of my general issues with Madrid (home of ascot man)
but mostly
3) because my coworker who works in Spanish would probably never shut up about it if Madrid had won out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yes. That was one of Rio's big selling points.

Weekend: A whole lotta nothing! We've been way too busy for too many weekends in a row. So we have no plans this weekend and will only be doing whatever the hell we feel like at any given moment. Aaaaaahhhhhh...

Y'all I'm kinda obsessed with the DonorsChoose Social Media challenge, I can't stop following some projects to see progress throughout the day. refresh refresh refresh.
If anyone is interested in supporting a knitting project or a graphics novels one, I can get you links. or my pet project which is students who want to work with kids in a nearby "orphanage" (I assume group home or similar residential facility - as there are very few orphanages in the US).

Yes. That was one of Rio's big selling points.
They also had the largest projected budget for the games.
I'm glad Madrid didn't get it-- while it would have been cool to see it in Spain again, I didn't care for Juan Antonio Sammaranch's "Oh, I'm old, give it to Madrid."
