Because I can't really rant about it there, though I will have to say something...because, I just don't know how to let this lie.

Aunt's FB status. "Racist Aunt":can't believe what I just paid for an iron! I must be insane or my eyes are starting to slant.......

Comment that hasn't been deleted nor chided? "Are you thinking of opening up a laundry?

I mean, yeah, not really the best use of energy, but I can't not say something!

Oy.

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Kat!

Yikes, Daisy.

Am now discussing with cousins. We normally don't respond to anything she says because it's often ridiculous stuff. But in ignoring all the crazy, we didn't respond when she was upset about our adopted cousin meeting his bio family. So now rather than feel like we just don't pay attention to the old folks, she'll feel like we're just picking on her.

I don't know. I get upset when people say crap like that, knowing (or rather wrongly thinking) they're amongst people who think like they do. And everyone's smiling smugly to themselves, because hey, we all know it's true.

Of course I know it's also kicking a hornet's nest.

JenP, I'll have pictures up later this week, but I'm sure you'll find them before then. Heh.

Jilli, the panel wasn't as insane and shrieky as last year's! The room didn't even fill up. And Rorschach didn't ask a question. I'm sure you've read recaps already, but I think the best thing that came out of it for me was the promise that Hargreaves's alien form is awesome (but not in the next volume, alas).

Probably because there's been no new comics from him, no new music from MCR, and no one felt brave enough to ask about either his ridiculous hair or why did Bob leave the band OMG.

why did Bob leave the band OMG

Those are all excellent points!

I could have gotten there a few minutes before and gotten in. It was weird. I walked into the previous panel, so I had a pretty good seat.

All of that, yes.

I made a dinner which was so delicious, I ate too much of it! Meatballs with the Turkish meatball seasoning I bought there (it just says "Meatball seasoning" so I don't actually know what it is), tzatziki, and rice. If I had thought of the meatballs ahead of time, I would have put mint instead of dill into the cucumber salad, which would have been more Turkish and less Greek, but oh well.
