'Destiny'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Interesting games tomorrow. Portugal vs. Brazil, Chile vs. Spain.
If things go the way one would think. The U.S. would be playing Ghana, Uruguay, then Brazil. I think the U.S. should be able to beat Ghana, not an easy game, but they should probably win. They can play with Uruguay, but that'll be really tough. Brazil ... maybe they can get lucky.
Oh, my. Rafa's match is exciting.
Somewhere, Perkins just shuddered and doesn't know why.
I do now!
Why would you do that to vodka of all things?
If we were playing things that shouldn't taste like meat, booze would be on the list.
Ugh. So people are freaking out about a school in Mass giving out condoms to students 1-12 grades. (Giving out is also kind of a misnomer. They will give them to you, but you have to talk to a nurse or counselor). Anyway, I can see where it's a bit extreme. I can also see that kids are getting pregnant as early as 9.
A friend's response to all this? "They" (I'm guessing the government. Though which government she doesn't specify), should tax parents for the pregnant kid and their baby because apparently only then will they care about what their kids are doing.
I know there are shitty parents in the world who probably truly don't give a rats ass what their kids do, but the majority even of those whose kids get into one kind of trouble or another are probably working as hard as they can to provide for and raise their children. And in this economy when people are working multiple jobs and some families put up with horrid commutes so they can live somewhere safe (if they get that) and affordable. Day care can be prohibitively expensive, and your solution is to tax these people?
Gah!
Everything should taste like meat, if only once. And if only once, that meat should be bacon.
Sigh. Things is locked down here, thanks to a bunch of dumbasses who decided the looniversity was a fun place to run to after playing cops and robbers somewhere off campus. Not that I wanted to go outside anyway, with it being 100 deg.
I'm eating a BLT right now AIFG.
The town in question in MA is Provincetown. It's a tourist town on the Cape, big arts and gay community. Not exactly Smallville.
ETA: the public school population, K-12, is 200.
