I don't know if everything triggers someone, but there's nothing that says everyone has a trigger. If he sees me eating beef jerky, he'll have a point. But he won't, because things that trigger me start to taste nasty pretty damned quick.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Because you're paying?

mmm... beef jerky.
I have a meetup thing tonight. I don't want to go. I agreed weeks ago, but now I have remorse!
Tomorrow I have to enroll Grace in a different school for a Pre-K program. It's a school with WHITE KIDS! (and Asian kids) and kids who aren't super damaged. It's on a regular elementary campus.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Sheesh, I'm getting background ads on another site for Showtime's Weeds and Big C and they're obviously paired together on purpose because Mary Louise Parker and Laura Linney are striking almost identical poses, bustalicious, tank tops, with the same flowy waves of hair. They're certainly attractive women, but the glamor angle is pretty far from what both shows are about. Seems like a marketing mistake.

Someone on IO9 asked me to write a guest piece for their sff blog, and this is what happened.

Enh. There aren't a lot of schools in the area with any white kids (less than 0.50% of the kids at my school are white). It's pretty surprising that she'll go to a school with 25% white kids (98 total).

Funny thing that happened on the way home last night from my friend Karen's 50th birthday party. (She's my friend who had breast cancer a couple years back.)
Emmett and I started riffing on Grandpa Simpson's "back in the day we wore an onion on our belt" and spent about forty minutes doing grumpy old guy improv about things like how we had to use Squirrels for contraception ("The squirrels didn't cotton to it, as you might imagine.") and everything resolved in either a dance craze or a panic.
It was fun. Nice having my teenager back. Also, he and Matilda have been playing up a storm and are just very cute together.
