Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think Lady Gaga's songs are catchy. And good.

They'd be on that thing called a radio, wouldn't they? iTunes and my iPods have shrunk my music listening to what I already have or what I catch on TV and buy on impulse. I should hook up Pandora or something so I can get some fresh blood for free. Much less scary than turning on a radio station where people might talk at me.

Some time back I decided to test Pizza Hut's online ordering service. It was annoyingly not compatible with my browser of choice, Opera, so I had to switch to Firefox to complete the transaction. Ah, well. Pizza was--the dough was too sweet. And then a couple days later some woman CALLS me for a satisfaction survey, traditionally inflexible. I did try to explain to her that I ordered online to avoid speaking to humans, so she was ruining the whole thing for me and I'd never do it again, and the more questions she asked the more negative I'd get. I don't think it clicked for her--I don't think her form had anywhere to check off "blatant animosity to people." Or she just didn't get to it quickly enough.

Unrelatedly, I have a crush on TJ Thyne from Bones. He's a pocket rocket. Nummmy. Must google.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think Lady Gaga's music is sort of catchy. I don't dance but I like to catch the songs on the radio.

Speaking of radio, I have yet to install our new audio tuner. I hope the process is as uncomplicated as unplugging the old one and plugging in the new one. I'm putting it off and sitting outside by the fire on the patio.

hahahaha. I shouldn't find this as funny as I do, should I?

K is entranced by the black dye. She now wants me to also dye Noah's diapers, his socks, and her socks. Sigh.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

lady Gaga's runes are catchy, but I can also name the artist she was 'influenced' by. Not original.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I for one am quite taken with her catchy runes.

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

Good lord, I never thought of Newt as a voice of reason.

I'm afraid it reflects more on the wilting of reason than any reformation of Newt.

Alexander has always been pretty sane, but a world in which Newt is a voice of reason is a very strange world.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I think the problem is we live in a world where the comment “It is good to have the president of the United States say to young people across America, ‘Stay in school, study and do your homework’" stands out as remarkably sane and reasonable. It's a pretty unremarkable statement.
