Dorff in drag is pretty much the same as Bruce McCulloch from the Kids in the Hall.

Ha! You're right.

I wasn't sure if "the church I grew up in" referred to the specific church or the religion, though I guess that would be capitalized (is that something non-Catholics do?). I might use that phrase to mean either, though. I wouldn't think it was unusual, hearing it, but I might be befuddled as to actual meaning for a moment, depending on context.

I'm a little worried about the neighbor whose plants I've been taking care of. I think she was supposed to be back by now and she's not. Given the shenanigans on her past few trips (passports getting switched in a third world country and requiring the local embassy higher ups flying back to get her passports, haitian "flu" almost hospitalizing her- and she's a pro at this, she ran a program in Iraq in the early stages, burqas and all) I'm hoping this trip to Africa didn't contain drama.

Oh, James, oh.

Man, I just...

Yeah, no.

That eyeshadow is hideous. (I would say that about it on anyone, man, woman, crossdresser, Kang, Kodos, Ent, or pet rock.)

Nice gloves, though.

t edit I get that drag queens are aping and exaggerating the stylized image of femininity. Franco's not going for a tasteful PTA look there. But I still don't like it. (I don't like the general drag queen genre, actually.) (And, of course, they're not dressing for me, so it doesn't really matter if I like it or not.)

The church I grew up in

It sounds a little strange to me, but I know what you mean. Growing up Catholic, not a lot of church shopping goes on (unless you're looking for the latest mass possible.)

When I've said it, and I'm sure I have, I meant more the religious tradition (Presbyterian) rather than the actual specific church.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking--if I said this, I"d probably mean "Catholocism" as opposed to "St. Monica's". May have to do with not attending/being Catholic anymore. But I would totally not bat an eye at someone else saying it and meaning either one--if they currently attended a church, I might assume they meant the actual church (as opposed to ..sect?) they went to as a child.

Yeah. That is not a good makeup look on anyone or anything.

On another subject, this is pretty cool.

Military planes do a flyover at Lambeau before every Packer game at the very end of the anthem - it's very cool. This one is from this past weekend, and my friend Augie is playing the trumpet! [link]

My mom gave me a ministeamer in my stocking last year, which I unearthed unused this week. I used it on my interview jacket and shirt, and it works great!

Wish me ma, guys, at 1045 CST. INTERVIEW. NEED JOB NOW.

Although, a question. If I was to be offered a job at, for example, 10K where the range posted was 9 to 12K, with benes, is saying something like "I don't need the heath insurance package, but I would like the life and the flexible health savings, and to make 12K, would that be a good place to begin negotiations?

Most of the jobs I'm applying for get bennies, and we need to stay with Dan's insurance for his son, so I don't need them. Since the company hiring wouldn't have to pay that cost, it reasonable I should negotiate more salary or vaca, right?

That's tricky, because as far as I know they can't really stop you from enrolling in the benefit plans, at least not long term. I don't know if you can get the FSA without the health plan either. Maybe David or someone can tell you more?
