David Tennant and Catherine Tate as Benedick and Beatrice on the West End

Oh God, how I crave to see this.

I hope you'll get the girl by your side soon, Seska.

As for Hollaback, I still count you accountable, people. You're the ones who told me all about it. But I'm an enabler, not a leader. I can create the space, but it's for the use of others. As someone phrased it: "the club is for everyone. We're just the bouncers at the entrance, making sure no troll shall pass".

Shir, this is so awesome, I have shivers!

Seska, I hope you can get the support you need without jumping through too many hoops. What a clusterfuck.

Seska, that sucks. I hope you can get the decision reversed.

Shir, that is amazing!

And DCJ, it goes without saying, the way you took care of Andi this week, that you are the rockinest.

This may be the truest true thing that was ever truly stated.

Points to what Barb said, as I can't say better than the writer lady.

Shir-awesome. Seska-kill 'em a lot. Andi-awesome plus welcome back, and Daniel-points for support.

This?

I came across an item today for sale with no explanation: "Electric Thumb Warmer."

I Googled it of course, and the answer was practical, but my first reaction was WTH?

Two years ago when I was decluttering and packing, a pile of things started to slip. I caught the full weight of the pile on my left thumb and sprained/partially dislocated it. Granted, my joints are held together with rubber bands to begin with, but it never healed right and right now I can turn my hand from palm up to palm down and unless I'm careful the thumb will literally *fall* out of joint without applied pressure or stress. My right thumb is undergoing calcification and deformity of the joint from psoriatic arthritis. Heat us soothing, and though it doesn't improve the condition(s), it makes the afflicted part feel better. I would love a thumb-warmer. In fact, I could use two of them.

Sometimes, all it takes is for that one snowflake to start an avalanche.

Someone tripped the wrong fucking snowflake.

Well, these are made for ATVs and snowmobiles, and would take a bit of rigging, but I bet one could come up with a way to tape one to a glove thumb and a battery pack...

Hmm.. Duct tape... old glove...laptop battery pack...

I'm just a girl with a keyboard and a weird sense of justice. That's all. Apparently that's all you need. Weird, huh?

I kinda want to COMM this, but I am not sure if I should include enough of what Shir has said that it would be obvious what it refers to, or if it is better without identifiers. I mean, what Sail and Trudy said is hilarious without context, but I also think Shir's achievement deserves to be noted. Shir, what would you like me to do?

I am watching The Black Parade is dead, and trying to get psyched up to go out. It's only a few blocks from here, and should be fun, and I sort of have an outfit planned, and I've been wanting to go dancing, and friends will be there... but it's so cold, and my couch is comfy, and I'm tired.
