Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm more put off by the $765 price tag than the taxidermied bottles.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I like the food conversation in Bitches better.

(Poppycock! Fiddle Faddle!)

if you have your appendix out, do you bury it? What is the attachment?? Do you save your menstrual blood? WTF, people?? It's medical waste, let them burn it or whatever they do with the rest of that shit!

I am with meara on this!

Also, if I had to have my leg amputated, I wouldn't want to eat that. If they removed a tumor from my body, I'm not making tumor pie. So I guess I'm saying I get the squick.

I think this is another brick in the cult of maternity, another way to make some moms feel superior and others to feel bad.

So this 58 year old guy who walked around Silverlake all the time (by all the time I mean he logged 200 miles a week) in little tiny shorts and without a shirt was found dead. [link] Apparently everyone in that neighborhood had something to say about him. It was a hotly discussed topic at yoga today. And I felt like saying, "And you all think the valley people are so provincial and unwilling to venture out past their neighborhood!"

Because books.

I agree with you and Jessica.

Stuff that comes out of me? I don't want to eat it, pretty much as a rule.

Except baby toes. Those I just nibble.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Dana caused my first belly laugh of the day.

We almost had a sea monkey incident because a play date participant thought the sea monkey habitat was a water toy that you shook upside down. Fortunately, there were no sea monkeys lost. In fact, I'm pretty sure they're breeding.

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

Or it may not be about you at all.

I know a lot of freaky obnoxious earthier-than-thou in-your-face hippies. They certainly exist. They revel in being weirder or edgier or more out there than anyone around them and never seem to exhaust their incredibly loud theories on energies and crystals and supplements and sumdging-with-sage and sooth-saying and drinking-of-urine and aromatherapy and on and on and on. These people have been irritating me, up close, my entire life.

I also know a lot of people, however, who are continually seeking knowledge: of the earth and our relationship with it, of the intricacies of the human body and mind, of spiritual awareness and a sense of a larger picture. They can also be irritating in their vigor but they're the kids who brought us (back) breast feeding and organic farming and crazy notions like water should be clean by law.

There will always be jerks to capitalize on things, but that doesn't mean that all people who explore these things do so just to be jerks.
