Canadian data roaming rates are after me. The second I see Rogers in the upper left hand corner, this device is switching to wifi only.
They are the most satanic of all.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Get it, Jilli!
Oh my GOD, java.
I want a drink.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
the nanny/helper person will come over for an hour a night starting Wednesday as a trial.
tonight I am collapsing into a recliner with my book and nothing else. tomorrow parts of the house will get tackled and mac and I will watch a marathon of comic book movies at home.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What is your guys first (and maybe last) go site for news (b.org not included)? Like, where has a fair shot of not putting the hyperbole right below the byline, and sources stuff responsibly, etc. I find myself at the BBC web site pretty often, my sister would no doubt say Al Jazeera, and they do carry the same big stories, and they're pretty evenly up to date, but I'm wondering where else.
Kinda interestingly, I only see one place saying the idiot Co shooter claimed he was patterned after the Joker and noting that his red hair not how the Joker rolls. And that place isn't IO9, although they're covering it, not in the main article.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Only thing on my agenda for the weekend is seeing TDKR.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, MSNBC news is usually the first place I go for news that's breaking. It happens rarely that I need breaking news, so maybe 2-4 times a year I go there.
In the last 6-8 months, I find my twitter feed is more than capable of giving me breaking news and linking to appropriate non-inflammatory sites.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Honestly, these days, my first stop for "what the hell is happening?" is Twitter.

I actually like Google News pretty well.
I've mentioned elsewhere, but I'll repeat it here: my contract has been extended yet again, and looks good to be extended a couple more times, as my manager is planning what all I'll be working once the Big Project goes live (aside from patching all the holes that spring open once actual users actually start using it).

Yep, Twitter. Easy to weed out the reliable news from the non-reliable there, and by far the quickest. I have NPR, NYT, Al-Jazeera English and a bunch of bloggers I trust on my Twitter feed.
Though this morning at 5:30 a.m., the first place I heard about the shooting was Tumblr.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
tonight I am collapsing into a recliner with my book and nothing else. tomorrow parts of the house will get tackled and mac and I will watch a marathon of comic book movies at home.
That's an excellent plan.
I think I'm going to pack my books tonight? We'll see. I may just collapse. Tomorrow I should pack some things in between laundry (at the laundromat), a pedicure, a massage, and TDKR. I do realize that if I had movers pack me it wouldn't take more than like 4 hours, so it's not like packing takes a lifetime, but I do want to continue to sort and make sure I have enough boxes (which I don't yet). BOXES, still my nemesis.
