I knew enough to avoid news sites! I just wanted to check my mail!
Wesley: Hey. Hey, Gunn. Is something weird going on? … Charles, you just peed on my shoes. Gunn: I'll be damned. That's weird.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yeah--I should have explained that better--I get news alert emails from the NYT, and got spoiled checking my email.
Of course, I don't really care.

My husband helpfully explained that I just should have gotten up at 6 to watch it live.

I hope you explained that would have involved him waking up too

Being a heathen is easier. Fewer dues.(well, except for people like my cousin thinking I don't believe in anything.) Ginger...vampire car crash?

I did wonder whether he had inside information on the zombie apocalypse. Then I thought, "Who would give inside information to Channel 5?"

I just spoke with my sister-in-law. Her company is closing, effective the end of the month. She worked there for 39 years, essentially since she started working.
I wish the universe would give her a freakin' break, already.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, damn, amyth. That's horrible.
I have acquired a tomato plant and a mint plant. They'll have to wait till later this evening or tomorrow to be planted, because it's freakin' hot as hell right now.
Perfect dog-washing weather, tho. I HAZ CLEAN DOG!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
amyth, that is absolutely putrid. Will she get any kind of retirement or anything?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ugh. There comes a point at which you shouldn't have to work out something new. I can't imagine being at the same place for that long, but it should reward itself.
Hearkening back to asexuality, the IO9 article mentioned Dr Who as a poster boy. I don't think so...why would he sleep with Queen Elizabeth I, much less the whole Madame Pompadour and Rose stuff? It's not a priority of his, perhaps, but he's danced before, and he'll probably dance again.
Who's a good example? I was throwing out Sherlock as possibly homoromantic asexual as an example, but to my surprise people (guys) are assuring me he's canonically gay.
I do think Katniss thought very little about sex considering her age. It really stuck out for me in the books. People have said "Well, she had so much on her mind!" Well, so did Peeta, but he had a teen-aged libido.
Unrelatedly, I wanna cheat with my Magical Negro essay. I've been challenged to say why genre TV is decades behind mainstream fiction. But I don't think it is.
