Glad to read the parapro love cause that's what my mom does...her teacher's kinda checked out this year, though.She feels bad about it. Cash, tell them STFU(I know'10 is just a baby year, but I still think one of my favorite TV moments is gonna be Grayson introducing that acronym to Tweety Matthews. Because it took him forever to get mostly. You'd think he'd be familiar with that one, wouldn't you?)
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

Court Upholds Prison Ban of Dungeons & Dragons:
Prison officials said they banned the game at the recommendation of the prison’s specialist in gangs, who said it could lead to gang behavior and fantasies about escape.
The game could “foster an inmate’s obsession with escaping from the real-life correctional environment, fostering hostility, violence and escape behavior,” prison officials said in court. That could make it more difficult to rehabilitate prisoners and could endanger public safety, they said.

The game could “foster an inmate’s obsession with escaping from the real-life correctional environment, fostering hostility, violence and escape behavior,” prison officials said in court.
Yeah, without D&D the inmates will be all, "This isn't quite optimal, but I guess I'll linger quietly for a bit."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tilda Swinton Would 'Absolutely' Play Conan (PHOTOS)
Oh, that Conan. I thought, initially, that she'd play the same Conan that Jason Momoa is playing.
She's good. She's not that good.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
See, the prison officials are thinking about it all wrong. What they should do is make prison a big, giant LARP. Assign characters on their way in, they get character points for doing good things, lose karma points for doing bad things, and if they want to shank a motherfucker, they gotta roll initiative with a -20.

So I read a magazine, drank a pot of caffeinated tea and proceeded to sleep 5 hours. Uhg.
Needed it blahblahblah, I hate sleeping all day. And I like sleep! I just feel so useless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was going to go jeans shopping this afternoon, since I have to be semi-near the Gap outlet anyway, but now I really don't want to! That's a bad frame of mind for jeans shopping, right? So I should just skip it?
