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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I feel virtuous, and somewhat international.
I feel within a thousand miles and hungry. Sadly my Dana-Nav just finds fic recs and not actual food.
Oh look! The guy MY DAD GAVE A TOUR TO is on teevee!On teevee and the awesomest. Really, I chatted about Neil De Grasse Tyson enough that my mom bought one of his books. ... This also happened with Neil Gaiman. Perhaps she is just susceptible to Neil talk.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Then they're all, "Oh, I guess I just forget with you."
Translated: "It makes me feel better to consider your race/ethnicity as so unimportant as to be non-existent."
"Colorblind" as a term regarding race needs to be retired. When people say, "Oh, I don't see COLOR; I just see people," all I can think is, how did you not get wiped out by natural selection yet? On the most rudimentary, basic, BIOLOGICAL level -- the way the human eye functions and the brain processes what we see -- YOU GODDAMN WELL DO SEE COLOR. (Yes, I know that there are people who are literally color-blind, and some people have a neurobiological anomaly that makes them see in black-and-white only, but I think you know I'm talking about the vast majority, not the exceptions.)
And where "colorblind" means "I don't use your race/ethnicity/color in order to pre-judge you," well, that's cool, but I still think the term needs to be retired.

The test would be Neil Diamond. Pimp his music to her. "Solitary Man" rocks.
t edit Uh, seriously, I like Neil Diamond WAY more than I feel comfortable admitting.

“Not dead yet!”

Indeed, it does. Neil is Da Man.

I am going to get the most puzzled phone call when she gets out of the water board meeting and reads her texts... And I'm blaming Tep.

I am having a banana protein frappucino (they ran out of the strawberry stuff) and stress for dinner. Though not as much as msbelle, eeep. My flight is delayed, I have a ton to do I can only do at home, I have an early flight again tomorrow, and I found out I have to go to Hawaii on Monday. Which I'd be all for, except I'll get there at noon Monday and leave at 9am Tuesday. Wheeee.

Cashmere, I think your comment should be printed on a million t-shirts, which should replace every top in every teabagger's wardrobe. They can go outside naked or historically accurate.
Good lord, Barb. Total esthetician fail. What makes people think they should go off on rants about "them," especially to random strangers?

Oh, and go cashmere go! And if they want to fight taxation without representation, DC is still working on that one. Oddly, the Republicans are not so interested in that...
