I'd just count it as eager server with a mind like a trap and be bemused.

I just realized I can only rely on my dad for stories of his childhood antics. And he doesn't relate them, I got them all from Carol. Ditto family history. Fuuuuuck. It's all gone. She also had all the family memorabilia, cause she actually cared about that stuff, dad didn't. I guess it'll go to her daughter, but I don't know if she cares about that stuff. I guess I'll wait a bit and talk to my cousin and uncle, see what they want to do. My uncle may want to hang on to stuff that was hers for the hole in his heart. Or maybe Karen has an interest in that. And that's fine. But I'd like someone who cares to get it eventually.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

What's the name of the book, Hec?

Speaking of Undercovers, I thought it was fun. Has possibilties. And the female lead has a fab ass. Envy. Male lead is adorable, but dude, that car? On a CIA salary? Or a 5 y.o. catering business? Was he on the take?

And his very precise facial hair was distracting, it was so sharp. I'll be watching it.

You know who else is utterly compelling to watch? Shakira. I caught a glimpse of her on Letteman, via some web site or another, and good god damn, woman. The song was meh, but I could watch her dance, and with that body, for a while. She skews my Kinsey a bit.

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

YES! It freaked me out how it went up to his no hair and stopped so abruptly.

Oh yeah. She moves.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Matt, I'm sure there are times where the networks go "OMG, we made a terrible mistake! Abort! Abort!" but a lot of the time they're expecting the initial numbers to be the verdict when that's not necessarily so. I was reading some tweets from an ICM agent a while ago pointing out films that "underperformed" the opening week but found their audience afterwards and made very strong numbers. But H'wood right now seems to be all about the opening weekend so they'll screw things for themselves by labeling something a "failure" to the public when it's not necessarily so.

Of course, I'm just spinning gears here. H'wood suits have been stupid for a long time now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha HA! I put my dress on a skirt hanger, and it fits in the bag. OK, bed.

Trust my rage

Shakira is one of about 3 women who I think are truly sexually attractive to me.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Love me some Shakira. That is all.

eta not quite all. Her video for Wherever Whenever is what sparked my interest in bellydance.

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

Oh, sara, I don't think I've said, I'm so sorry for your loss. That it's also a loss of family memory, a whole grief on its own in addition to yours for losing Carol herself.

Carol helped me to understand my grandmother at a time when we were very much at odds. Without her, I would still have a very negative view of Grandma Karin. Instead, I appreciate and understand her, though I hated and scraped against her bias against girls. Know where she got that, too bad, because frankly, her own path was proto-feminist. She just resented her own.
