FTR - I know kids with the color GameBoys now and the DS plays some GB Advanced games that are just as sought after. Also, we were able to sell a leapster and 6 games and get back enough to cover about half the cost of a DS.

There is a dude who will not stop loudly talking politics by my desk. Not only do we disagree, but he gets basic facts wrong as well, or he's intentionally misrepresenting stuff. It's driving me crazy.

This is self-laugher guy as well, and he pronounces it New Orleeenz.

Speaking of Helen Mirren: NY Summer Guide. The linked article is SFW, but the slide show linked from there isn't.

I sense a flood of paperwork coming my way, as well as a hell of an argument that we'll have to have with upper management. And when I say "we", I mean "me."

When I was working as a press clipper working with the local news out of New Orleans, I heard Nawlins and Norlins fairly interchangeably. Is one considered more correct/hipper/proper?

I always think of Captain Jack's (TW) "You people and your quaint little categories"

My basic take on it is that the only people who get to have an opinion on how I define/label my sexuality are the people who it DIRECTLY affects. Like, in a sexytimes way. And that's all.

Word and word.

Personally, I can't think of a single person I know who identifies as bi who didn't end up going penis in the long term. But that's a very small sample size so it's not very meaningful.

Speaking just for myself, Gud, but pretty sure some other buffistas will concur based on past conversations, if I marry a man and never have sex with a woman again I will still consider myself bisexual.

Yes, indeed!!

I thought about you last night! When I was channel surfing, I saw a listing for an ep of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations that he filmed there.

I was supposed to have the paperwork to sign on my car yesterday morning. I still do not have it.

ION - We, my boss and I, are going to speak to HR about delaying my departure date. Therfore extending my time as a full employee. I would be working remotely only, but putting in 25 hours a week until a replacement was hired and trained. That might extend my health coverage into August which would be AWESOME!

Yup. I'd link to the Pride Day post a friend made last year, but I'd have to remember the URL for that. Suffice it to say, at least when I was still dating, it was a LOT harder to find a woman who'd even date me, let alone want to date me for an extended period of time, let alone want to date me for an extended period of time AND who had the right chemistry with me. (Things I strongly suspect: had I had fandom back in the day, I'd probably be with a woman.)

Married a man (5 years! Whoa!). Monogamous. Yep, still bi.

Cute butches are thin on the ground in my age group and highly coveted. ::sigh:: My OKC messages from women are mostly married chicks in open relationships or who want to step out, despite my explicit "not interested in poly" disclaimer.
