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.
But okay: why couldn't I think of that?
Who thinks? Google will correct your spelling.
mmm, cauliflower
Announcement: I can has the smonster!
Analysis: Woot!
Although she is in the phone right now, I suspect serving as a reference for someone.
This weekend's plans include: GETTING ALLA THA SMONSTER, YOU KNOW Y'ALL ARE JEALOUS.
Woohoo! Has anyone heard from her today? Is she doing the whole drive in one day or splitting it up?
edit: damn you, x-post!
Note: smonster was not IN the phone. She was on the phone.
Dana, I bought The Book of Mormon this morning and it is great (I forgot to use our link, though). I am guessing that you, too read the tumblr "fuckyeahstephensondheim". I tried to tell my Sondheim loving, musical writing, frat-boy student about it, but he had never heard of tumblr and was very confused. I thought the college students were supposed to know about all these internet things!

flea...did you shrink smonster? Because you know we'll have to put her on the taffy pull if she's all tiny.
Well, I caved in and called Gilt Groupe.
I'd started e-mailing them on Tuesday; sent another yesterday and a third today - getting crankier all the time. I called and explained the situation and, as it turns out, they want all your credit card information BUT the amount of the gift card will be automatically applied to your order and any excess will go on the credit card. But this isn't anywhere I could find on their site; isn't on the page where you put in your credit card information. And, frankly, their stuff's expensive enough that I wouldn't buy it without the gift card and I was afraid the whole thing would go on my card and the gift amount would just sit there. When I pointed out that this wasn't anything I'd seen on any other site, that it wasn't explained anywhere, and was told that basically that's how their site was set up.
I finally got mad enough with them that I told them to refund the amount to my friend. Spent about 20 minutes on the phone doing this. Checked my e-mail about half an hour later and there was a response to my first e-mail - first response since Tuesday.
So - if you want to use them, be warned.
Tonight, I will be passing on an offer of casual sex so I can instead watch game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals. (One has to have priorities!)
Tomorrow, possible haircut, moviegoing. Sunday, pool time if it's not cloudy.
