I'm laughing at Wachovia's flyer about overdraft protection. See, if you don't have funds, it will *gasp* decline your purchase! BUT! With this overdraft protection, it'll let it go through, and there are NO FEES (provided you get the money in there that day. Otherwise, you get hit up with fees. Up to 4 $35 per overdraw per day.) It's for your convenience!

(eta: this is, I presume, related to changes in the law. I would have loved to have been in on the meeting trying to spin this as a "convenience.")

Um, I'd rather the shame of being declined, thanks, rather than owing the bank money.

information libertarian

My only party trick is bending my thumbs backward, which tends to gross people out rather than turning them on.

Also, I am now a true Athenian, having been at a party with Michael Stipe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

NICE.

On Grey's, is it incredibly cynical of me to think that the reason we've had these kind of half-hearted storylines with most of the Mercy West people was so they could die and we'd care a little, but not too much? It's better than David Silver's friend on 90210 ("ONE OF THE GANG WILL DIE!!" Yeah, not so much), but not that much better.....

Loki looks like I feel: [link] [link]

I just can't care about Grey's anymore. I saw the last half last night and was eh.

Compassionately intolerant

I thought the Grey's finale featured some good performances...and a wholly wasted Mandy Moore. The actress who played April (Sarah Drew) made me want to kill her myself.

And the shooter had a lot of depth in what could otherwise have been a completely thankless role.

I didn't like the conclusion with Webber for its incredible predictability, but I liked the rest.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Either your whitefont, Jesse, or the other way around. Maybe the writers never could figure out what to do with all those new character so, hey, let's kill them off! Thin the herd.

Though i admit, they did have me actually wondering if they would really kill Derek. For a second there, I thought they might.

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

Brava on your lack of choad-restraint, Jesse.

I tried!!!

Either your whitefont, Jesse, or the other way around.

True, true. And also, me too.

$10 reasonable for a used vacuum? $5 for an air filter with spare filter? Clothes, random assortment, ask $1 a piece except for the nice dress and leather pants and skirt? $2 a pop for curling irons in decent shape? I am so clueless on yard sales.
