May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That's pretty much a given for medical shows, isn't it? I mean, they're never going to get it right, and eventually they're going to hit something close to home.

I stopped watching Keith Olberman's Countdown when he started talking about his father's slow death. It had been a year since I'd watched my own father die, and I just wasn't up to reliving the experience along with my nightly news.

I love the pieces in today's Daily Art Fixx.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

the sound you hear is my financial comp-sec husband falling to the floor and shrieking with horror

Why? I haven't seen any objections to it that stood up to examination.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Wow, I forgot how fast this thread moves. Anyhow, since I can't stop the boys in the government from playing with their toys... Well, my MLIS program is for two years. After it, nothing that keeps me here.

I love this place. It's home, for better or worse. But almost nothing but insanity, hatred and fear are driving it.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

I use the Square card reader to take credit cards at the flea market, but that auto-pay service does not appeal.

I spent the morning texting back and forth with Mr. Flowersocks. Apparently he used to dress like a Teddy boy. I may have to encourage him to start again.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Yay MLIS program!!! I'm halfway through mine, but since I'm taking mine one class at a time, it'll be four years all told before I'm done, hopefully by the end of 2013. Ours only requires 12 classes in total, so some of the full-timers are pushing it and trying to finish in 12 months (4 classes per semester).

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I gave one a pat. Just once, very lightly.

I don't think I'll ever get around to petting a bee, but I have used my hands to lightly brush them off me, or my kids -- even someone else's kid once.

Forget about the grading, it's the laundry that seems destined to do me in today.

I just had to image google Teddy boy to take myself to a happy place during this conference call.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

He's Seen Too Much. It makes him uber-careful with on-line financials. See "The Great Mint.com Battle of 2011." I won...but it was a struggle.
