I think...I think I need to read electronically. I'm in the flush of new purchase and there's no good fic in my current niche right now (I'm a bit behind in Inception), sure, but I'm almost done my first book on my Nook.
I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

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

Do we even HAVE a ladder?
As of today, I can assure you that Home Depot's prices on 8' ladders beat those of Loews.

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

I want one of those telescoping ladders like my inspector had. Compact, easy to move and store, plenty of reach. Should get one before snow season.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Be careful on ladders!
I was forever traumatized in my early online days finding a widows grieving group and I swear the majority of sudden deaths were from their husbands falling off ladders. A twenty foot drop can kill you.

Did I mention being on the roof in a rainstorm?? A pitched roof? Ladders are the least of my concern.

Gravity is a harsh mistress. And it's a lot more certain than lightning.

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
Ian Anthony Dale: call me. SRSLY.
Inorite? I have a cousin in the cast and I've told him that if Ian is ever in NYC without dinner plans HE SHOULD GIVE ME A CALL.

Ladders are the least of my concern.
I just had a full-sensory flash back to my early adolescence: standing at the back door of our house, one hand on the phone, while I watched my Dad climb up a pine tree so he could re-adjust his ham radio antenna. In a windstorm. I couldn't convince him not to do it, but I was ready to call 911 if needed.
(He never fell. Yes, he did this trick more than once.)

OMG, I'm watching tonight's Private Practice, and...I just... want to shoot somebody over this transwoman storyline. Like, sure, maybe she's got unrealistic expectations of how awesome life will be after surgery...but IT WILL STILL BE BETTER. For fuck's sake--denying her surgery is just assholic. Do you really think she's going to suddenly decide "OH! I want my DICK! cutting it off would be WRONG!" Um, no.
And then the other stuff was just annoying too (did they steal the autistic marajuana son storyline from an article in Slate?). I got sucked back into watching Private Practice last year? I think. And enjoyed for a while, but after the ending last season, and the nonsense with just...all the characters, really.
