I just spent 4 hours drinking wine with my neighbors. A lot of wine. We might have migrated to the porch in a really bad thunderstorm to admire it because it was that awesome and SO FUCKING MUCH COOLER. It really was all of that.
I might hate tomorrow morning, but tonight was awesome.
And I wonder if my neighbor's boyfriend is at all creeped out that he has a fanclub. We don't want him for a boyfriend, really. But we all think he is the gold standard of boyfriends, and think FINALLY after many frogs with many warts, neighbor S has hit the jackpot. Even she's in shock, a year into it. He's already ruined it for one now-ex-boyfriend...
Most of the Cubans I went to high school with had dark complexions and black hair. They looked fairly Mediterranean. Swarthy, I guess.
Eva's dark enough to sleep with Will Smith characters without note. Cameron is definitely not.
Being half-Iranian, I've felt like there should be a box other than white for me to check. My anglo genes are extremely strong, so I look white-white, but it feels strange every time I check white.

Your color spectrum is more refined than mine. Eva registers as White Girl to me. So there's not more or less of a deal with her getting jiggy with Will than Cameron from my perspective.

I was totes surprised when I was in HR that there was no Arab-American type category and that as far as the EEO was concerned, people from Iran and Iraq and Saudi Arabia were White and people from India were Asian.
My niece is 3 and bitchy.
Bwhahahahaha! She sounds EXACTLY like Olivia. Thankfully, some of Liv's edges are wearing off.

I work at a school that has a very high Asian population (both east Asian and Middle Eastern). The kids self-differentiate by calling themselves "Asian" for Middle Eastern, "Island Asian" for Phillipino, and "Slanty-Eyed Asian" for east Asian. The first time I heard the last one, I stopped them. They seemed confused why I thought that might be bad. To them, it was just a descriptor.

Asian/Pacific Islander! *rolls eyes*
Question for the hive mind: someone I know has just been prescribed Cymbalta (active ingredient: duloxetine, also sold as Ariclaim, Xeristar or Yentreve), for periodically recurring bouts of depression. Has anyone here used Cymbalta before? I had a look on Wikipedia, which seems to suggest that though it works as an anti-depressant, it doesn't do any better than other AD drugs and can have more issues with side effects. (However, the article has also been flagged as possibly not meeting Wikipedia standards.)
Can anyone give me any more info about this drug?
