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.

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 murdered the hated bush out front. Pruning would be too kind a word. I'm going to still have to borrow the proffered saw from my neighbor to finish up the job, but I have 4 bags of branches as proof something was accomplished.
My hands are going to hurt tomorrow. Still want to walk the lake, but I think it is too hot for that after this activity. I'm filthy.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
They're taking the linguistic angle of graffiti as "inscribed" in the form of governmental warnings, instructions, "how to take said medicine"
So they're writing about things like the signs by the elevators at my last company, the ones that said "In case of fire, do not take elevators. Take 'exit' stairs?" Those are the ones that left me wondering, "Are they just exit stairs? Can't I use them to enter? How are exit stairs different from regular stairs? Do they not really 'exit' at all?"

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
That too, Ginger. I believe that part is somewhere between the "infantialize the consumers", the rise of the risk society and of course, Foucault's "docile bodies".
Can't do statistics. Going to stare at the tv and drink minted-lemonade.

One of our banks of stairs in our building is specially designed for [something I can't really remember related to fire]. You can enter on any floor but only get out at the lobby. So yeah, exit stairs. (And since we're on the 47th floor, you learn pretty quick which is which.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I have to buy a dress to wear to a wedding. Anyone want to shop for me?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Allyson, totally appropriate to name drop to the douchebag. What an ass.
Grrr. Owen wants my Simpsons stamps to send his "letters." Every time I need a stamp, I can never find one. Because the kids end up using them like stickers. He's very upset now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I can report that Haagen-Dazs' caramelized hazelnut gianduja ice cream is really fucking tasty.
