The use of "actionable" to me "able to be acted on" has become depressingly common. It makes me want to sue someone.
Which is ironic, because in a legal context "actionable" means able to be sued for.

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 don't know the cause/effect order, but have non bandom bands historically been as social networking happy?
It seems like a lot of the sense of personal connection comes out of that relationship. And, of course this might just be my perception, it seems like MCR, FOB, AFP, etc. were some of the early adopters of MySpace (and have eagerly adopted each new permutation). I'm pretty sure, actually, that the contracts of Decaydance bands specify that they'll be paying less of X because they will be (and are expected to be) doing so much free promotion/networking themselves.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

One of my cousins is in a band that's sort of on the edges of bandom. Note to all: if you ever have the idle thought, "I wonder if there's fic about my cousin," DO NOT GOOGLE. Oh, dear.

I've started doing sudoku on my phone when I'm on the bike. So far it makes the time pass more quickly.
