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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

ARGH. Seriously people, it's called the internet. USE IT.

So I don't know if anyone's been following the story of the lesbian blogger from Syria, who was reported as having been carted away by Syrian security?

Well, it's beginning to look as though she might not exist at all: [link]

Someone certainly exists, and they're probably Syrian, but it's uncertain whether she is she, or gay, or disappeared.

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

I am kind of alarmed by being 35.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I keep saying I am 53 and have to be reminded that I am 54, which means in August I will be 55!!!! That seems old to me, very old. Luckily, my DH is still in his 40s, so we don't have a fully AARP household.

Yeah, I didn't read the article on that because just the headline made me sad. Sigh.

I feel so cynical--there's something trending on twitter about some 15 year old girl with cancer who wanted to trend on twitter before she died--someone linked to her blog and it only had two entries, and i was like "really? I'm supposed to believe you didn't just copy these two photos from a cancer website? Yeah right"

"Kaycee Nicole" has a lot to answer for, I suspect. Although to be fair if she hadn't done it, someone else would have (and has done).

None of the 20ish cashiers at the supermarket knew who/what Marcus Welby was.

Because books.

I did see a ... Jezebel story? About the Alice girl. Not that that means it's true, of course.

...I know Marcus Welby is a doctor from TV, but that's the extent of my knowledge.

I feel like i should be LESS cynical--I mean, I've met plenty of people from the internet, including many of you guys! And yet...

Well, ita seems pretty implausible until you've met her in person, I must admit. And we did get taken by Gus (for certain values of "taken", anyway).
