It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

ION: Has everyone seen the Eve-with-the-apple Caprica promos (by which I mean web placements). Does it look horribly photoshopped a la Ralph Lauren to anyone else?

That mother is someone I would have no need to continue to associate with. I mean honestly, a 3 year old with access to scissors is asking for trouble, and putting her neurosis on you is all wrong.

ETA: Plei, do you think it would upset you if Lily cut her own hair?

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

I made it to Chipotle time! And they stopped talking Java! But my doctor hasn't called in my refill yet, and there's little point leaving for home unless I can pick that up on the way. At least I'm still being useful in the meeting.

At least I think I am. I really can't shut up. I have a problem keeping my thoughts to myself.

Art Crawl!!!

I've seen the Caprica ad but I'm not familiar with the Ralph Lauren ad. . . or at least, I don't remember it.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Cash, I would be horribly tempted to say something like this the next time she brings it up:

"I really am sorry about your daughter's hair, but you did leave two three year old girls unsupervised for long enough for that to happen. They really aren't old enough to know better--that's why I would never leave them alone with craft supplies."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I saw a website a while ago that rated a whole ton of charities and nonprofits based on a bunch of factors, like how much money went to aid vs. administration, and some other stuff like that. Anybody know what site that was? There's a group that I want to look up.

ETA: Plei, do you think it would upset you if Lily cut her own hair?

Yes.

I don't think she would, because she's very attached to her hair, but yes, it would upset me greatly. Possibly not as upset as she'd be, though. She's really really attached to her hair.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Anybody know what site that was?

Guidestar, BBB Wise Giving Alliance, or the one I don't like whose name I can't remember, but is probably what you're thinking of...

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I've seen the Caprica ad but I'm not familiar with the Ralph Lauren ad. . . or at least, I don't remember it.

It's the one where the model looks strange because they PSed her waist so she looks like a big headded freak who shaved off her mid-section.

Because that Caprica ad had me thinking there should be more of her back, if the waist was going to look that small, then I got a closer look, and it just looks...wrong.
