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.

TCBITW was the reason I ended up here.
Yay, send her my thanks. Having children substantially increased my TV viewing. It could be I was never home before then, or had energy to do more than watch TV.
My boss and I were discussing whether "concatenate" and "catenate" mean the same thing. It looks like they do. Weird.
My youngest nephew blew my mind when I first saw him on vacation--he'll be 13 in November, and he's almost as tall as me already!
Actually, he blew his sister's mind as well. While I was out there, she got back from a 3-week trip to Europe (regional band tour), and they came over for dinner the next day. I guess she hadn't measured herself against Dylan in a while, because when I said something about him probably being taller than her, she immediately denied it until we had them stand next to each other. When she saw that he was taller than her, she gave him a light slap across the face for outgrowing her (not abusive, just older-sistery). He got the biggest grin on his face and she mock-pouted for a bit.

We like it too! I'm really happy with the kid's names. Maybe we should have gone with a middle name that starts with 'O' for Leif though. Then his initials would be LOL and that would be SO fitting.
Just in case anyone needs a photo of some poodles (and a human) wearing Hello Kitty party hats: [link]

Ooh! Just found out a Cuban restaurant is moving to my neighborhood. yay!
I'm thinking of Freaks and Geeks, where the geeks lament that they can't get laid. But what they really mean is that they can't get laid by cheerleaders.
This was me in high school, only it really wasn't "can't get laid" as much as "can't get a girlfriend" and the girls I wanted weren't cheerleaders they weren't all the different from the girls would wanted to go out with me, I just had a knack for crushing on the uninterested.
I actually acquired a nickname from some girls, "The Guardian" because I was the guy who would wrap you up in my coat and find your clothes that you were too drunk to locate and get you home safely.

Aw. And that's why you made a great catch for the right person!
