We had thunder hail earlier.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How I learnt to get pegged and like it. Jezebel. NSFW language. Creepily SFW picture. Incredibly heteronormative assertions justified by "I was being funny!"
My god, this shit makes me crazy.

There's a very very small chance of snow this weekend. I'm pretending it doesn't exist.
More lightning. And tons of rain, but no hail so far. When it hailed the other day, I was taking a shower, and have a glass skylight right over the tub. Freaking loud and actually scared me for a second before I figured out it was hail on the glass.
G (my neighbor's 4 year old) called Loki Loki-bean yesterday and informed me she always called him that. And I find myself doing the same now.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
You know, unless you have the kanji you can't really be sure that a similar syllable means the same thing. . .
As I understand it, when karate came to Japan from Okinawa it was called "China hand," even though the Okinawan form may have risen independently from Chinese martial arts. I rather suspect it was called that because the Japanese didn't think much of Okinawa. The kanji used for China was sometimes pronounced kara, and someone proposed using the kanji for empty, also pronounced kara, instead. It's unclear who came up with the idea, but the spelling was popularized by Gichin Funakoshi, sometimes called the father of Japanese karate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesus christ, it was like pulling teeth to get that article to load (your link didn't do it for me), and then to read the actual comment....this is why I've given up the whole Gawker family.
Not to mention the actual content of the essay or the comments.

Here's a pronunciation question inspired by ANTM: jaguar, jag-wahr or jag-u-ar?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I have no problem with the pronunciation. It's the spelling that's an issue. Blame them for that?

I disagree with the legislature and agree with Mark Twain -- the people should be called ar-kan-SOY-yers, not ar-KAN-sans.

Oh my god, that guy is a douche. Seriously? Taking it up the Khyber Pass after asking your girlfriend to do it (rather, talking her in to doing it)? Does NOT remotely qualify you to "understand women." It means you are qualified to understand people who take it up the ass. That is all.
You're still a heteronormative douche with a boatload of assumptions. And you aren't funny.
