I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Yay Tom

Yay Cash!

Not On Mac.

Mind you, this assumes it's not the kind of Bar Mitzvah that gets Justin Bieber to do an appearance....

ita, keep an eye out for Jim Beaver! I think he's there, too.

This juxtaposition made me think that someone had a Bar Mitzvah with an appearance by Jim Beaver! Which would be funny and fun!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Someone tell Jim to come find me at gate 81. I promise to be rewardingly amusing.

Apparently I have to reward now. What's up with that?

Did you stalk Tom Hardy while in Van, ita? Apparently he's shooting there.

Jesse, I think you want to delete that post.

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

Hivemind question. CJ has been invited to a Bar Mitzvah. Are presents traditional? Anything specific? Or is it a card thing?

Definitely presents. If CJ knows the kid well, then just something along the lines of what he'd get him for a birthday present, except a bit bigger or more expensive, since it's a bigger occaision than just a birthday. If he doesn't know the kid too well, then what was suggested above of gift cards to places where he can buy music or books or games would be good. For girls, the usual gift from people who don't know the kid well is jewelry, something that's appropriate for the kid to wear now but also adult enough to still wear in a few years, but I'm not sure what the boy equivalent of that would be. Fancy watch? If you know the boy's parents, you can call them and ask if there's anything in particular that he wants or doesn't want.

Also, definitely prepare CJ in advance that bar mitzvah ceremonies can be very long, and frequently boring and/or confusing to people who aren't familiar with it. Tell him that, if he feels like he needs a break, it's perfectly fine to just take a breather in the hallway outside the sanctuary for a few minutes.

Finally checking into Natter today after an emotionally and physically exhausting day. I'm not sure whether my nap will be a nap or the end of the day for me.

Probably a good call, Typo.
