I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Has anyone posted the Bradley Cooper French interview? I surrender.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I don't get Lady Gaga at all. And I just want her to go away. What she has is overexposure. I did, however, spend $.99 on her album on Amazon. Noah actually loves her and frequently asks for Poker Face.

Yesterday was my onerous task day. But I made my students do most of my onerous tasks -- cataloguing books, labeling them, boxing them, moving them, sorting papers etc.

I had a toxic run-in with the AP and now I'm trying to figure out what I want next year.

How is being supported by your wife for five years not a Plan B?

Right? It's a parasitic Plan B, but a Plan B nonetheless. If you are (1) not succeeding at Your Great And Super Special Art, yet you are still (2) eating and have a place to live, you have a Plan B. It might not be a Plan B where you choose to work at something else, but it's still a Plan B. Right up until your wife says "Get a job, seriously, or move the hell out. The mime gig is NEVER going to happen."

Agree with both of these 100%!

I will say I read some of the things that people were posting on Amanda Palmer's feed about #FuckPlanB. And there plan As were really a Plan B, like a correction of something that went wrong. Staying with your abusive husband may have been Plan B in your head, but at some point it WAS your plan A.

Hmm... this part

I can decipher barely a word of this interview with Bradley Cooper, but I know one thing: he's never been more attractive.

Perhaps he's extra attractive because you CAN'T decipher a word? It's a very bland interview (at least the first half).

I like BC, but because I like Alias, far longer than I should have. I will say, if it were Michael Vartan speaking French I'd find it way more attractive.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

In consulting, the saying was always that you can have two of these three: fast, cheap, good. You can't have all three, and you're stupid to try.

Also, house building/renovation.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

ImememeN, I just had my six-month appoinment with my surgeon, who called me a "poster child" and said I'm doing everything right. Woot! He even reassured me that this past week has been a blip (it's the first time I've gained weight since the surgery, six pounds in a week, and I've only had a little bit of chocolate, damnit!!!) and not to stress over it. According to their computer figures, my BMI has dropped from 76 when I started the pre-op diet on 10/9/10 to 49.6 this morning. Again, woot!!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

If you find pictures of Gaga w/o her getup she's pretty enough - maybe a "Looks 8, Dance 5".

She's pretty, but not conventionally so at all. Closer to Dance 10, Looks 3, really.

Disclaimer: I think she's hot. But not in a standard way.

Because books.

Now I'm going to have "Tits ... and assssssss" in my head all day.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Way to go, Kathy! Those numbers are astounding.
