I see what you did there.
Damn, I wish I had. I'm rarely so intentionally clever.
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

That part was over the top, but it was kinda making her point for her too: she has a damned privileged life (as do her privileged friends) and yet still there are stigmas, internalized and externalized, despite the very visible traditional indicators of success.
I really was more interested about the challenging of norms and changing communities.
Speaking of stigmas, I get to bring the fourth cat (!) home tomorrow. Last night J, S's boyfriend, jokingly told me he wouldn't consider me crazy until 5. And then all of us pointed out that, knowing him, if it was the 15th, he'd tell me 16th. Cause he just cannot bring himself to be negative about anyone.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

Tomorrow night we're going to Cinematic Titanic. Yay!

Because books.

I like sara's take on it, although the excerpt Strega posted did make me want to choke the writer: "vacated town" for a "meditation retreat" and "bequeathed her charming Brooklyn aerie"?
It sounds like Beatrix Potter fanfic crossed with Early-Adopting Hipster.

I wanted to nose-to-nose him and demand his papers.
Heh.
bad driving habits
Heh, heh.
no Southwest flights showed up
I think Southwest doesn't show up travel sites, btw. I think you have to go to the SW site directly. Think, as in heard someone say it once or something.

Oh, that's what I meant to add: SW does not do the airline aggregation sites at all.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
When the car turned, DH noticed it was a nun in full habit.
When I was a kid, my dad use to say our minister's continued existence was proof of a loving God, considering the minister's appallingly bad driving.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"bequeathed her charming Brooklyn aerie"
I will say, that reads to me as tiny and old, at least a 5th floor walk-up, but I have been reading a lot of real estate ads lately.....

It probably is, Jesse, but the language is so frigging *precious* it made me gag.
There's a reason for everybody to dislike this article!
Meanwhile, my eye started twitching again about three hours ago and has. not. stopped. It's a slow, steady torture.
