You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Trust my rage

Wait, Barb is right about what? Are we still talking Beatles?

(um, for clarity, Joe played me the song today but I'd never heard it before. I think it's a little creepy.)

Trust my rage

I'm so chatty tonight. I have...an exciting week of staying home with Frisco to look forward to. Oh, and of course because this is how motherhood works, I have a big (to me) hearing in court on Wednesday. Im ready enough but it will befour days of boredom and one day of wishmh I could be in two places at once.

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

It is definitely a creepy song.

Good luck on Wednesday!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

But such a happy, bouncy tune!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

So, Disney has given Tinkerbell a new outfit. It has sleeves, and tights. And, it seems, seeing less of Tinkerbell's skin will turn your daughters gay? Or something? [link]

The status is NOT quo.

Oh...dear. Hil, that woman made my brain hurt (the one the blogger was quoting, obviously, not the blogger herself). The idea that Tinkerbell "always" looked like a '50s pinup when J.M. Barrie's book was first illustrated by Francis Donkin Bedford in 1911 is...well...a bit of a logic-breaker.

Not to mention that the new outfit Tink is wearing is hardly androgynous. Sheesh, I suspect that plenty of hetero men would think that's a sexy outfit, too. I do, but since I'm a queer bi freak, clearly I'm not a reliable source and am trying to infect the children with teh gay.

Now that's a party.

(but not obscene either, just flashes of nudity and general debauchery circa 1970)

Skipping a bit (having internet, and then right after that, having classes to teach? Not easy on the catching-up), because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is one of those lovely double Buffista events, being both Burrell's birthday, as well as Calli's.

Happy birthday, Burrell! Happy birthday, Calli! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I went to bed soon after posting, read until 10:30 ish was still awake at 11:15 ish, but not long after that. mac woke me up at 3:55AM!!!! saying he had a bad dream, but I am betting he was playing that GD game until then. I refused him my bed and went back to his room with him. laid down with him for all of 10-15 minutes and he was out, so I returned to my bed and double checked that the alarm was set. I woke him up at 6:45 and instructed him to finish homework before the tv was turned on, to which I got angry face and huffing and puffing. me. I am still angry.

Oh, msbelle, how rough.

Is it too close-to-the-events to say that you're such a good mom by deciding on good boundaries and making sure you both live by them? That's so difficult, and you're doing such a good job (even though the results are still mostly hardships and anger and tiredness).
