Before Saturday's class started, I was chatting with the classmate sitting next to me. I don't know why, but we were talking about people we knew who had connections to unusual celebrities, and I mentioned that an assistant manager of mine from Waldenbooks had as her landlady the first wife of John Wayne Gacy. That got us talking about serial killers overall--the classmate was familiar with Gacy since she lives near where his house was and had seen the tv movie with Brian Dennehy as Gacy. However, when I then mentioned she should rent "Deliberate Stranger" with Mark Harmon as Ted Bundy, she had no clue who Bundy was.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
You have to be sports-crazy to be a Buffista?
Nah.

Wow, I'd have thought Bundy would be one of the more famous modern serial killers.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Nascar (sorry, Cass!), Formula I,
Wrong order.
True.
And, Bev, you make an amused face when I squeak and burble instead of the omgshutupshutupshutup face, so I have no complaints.
Mmm, race cars.

wrod. Although my mom and I follow that sort of stuff and talk about it a lot. I've seen that movie, too.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I don't even like the LotR movies. I'm not a big fan of fic, either. Or sandwiches.
My Buffista card ownership would be tenuous if not for The Book.

Speaking of clumsy prose, I am reading Twilight for the student book club, and it is KILLING ME. Seriously, I have to read a chapter quick and then take a break because it is sooooo lame and boring and I hate the completely unrealistic people and first-person narration by boring teenage girls is like my least favorite thing ever.
Ahahahaha. Yeah. It's terrible!

Ok, I must confess that I actually enjoyed the first quarter of the first "Twilight" book. But I actually thought it was building to something. Not three more books of the same and Demon Childbirth.

xkcd is a little aggressive today.
I love the mouseover text!
Tonight is Rock Band and MNF at the bar. I'm thinking of blowing it off though. I had a busy weekend. Also, I just want to sit around and watch The Inside on the web.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm going to have to frown and look sternly over the top of my glasses at the notion of any one of us feeling insufficiently Buffista just because she doesn't like something someone else likes.
Yes, even if it's serial commas.
