Obama learned how to give a rousing speech sometime after Harvard and before hitting the campaign trail, probably from that controversial preacher, because he was dull as stale coffee before that.

As an aside, some close friends of mine know Jeremiah Wright pretty well - D is professor of theology at University of Chicago and a Presbyterian minister herself - and they say he is a simply fantastic person, incredibly kind and dedicated.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"Former monkey owner" made me laugh out loud.

The Onion, OTOH, is just making me sad:

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Bringing to Dana's notice, an AVClub roundtable appreciation of the Friends episode "The One With The Embryos." (aka, The One With the Quiz)

Always Anti-fascist!

I love that episode.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Thanks. Read on my lunch break from day two of all day training

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

Man, it's hard for me to remember when I used to like Friends. And that's how it parses in my head "when I used to like Friends." Not "when Friends was good."

I can't tell--was it good? Good like AD/Community good?

When I think of American sitcoms I watched in first run that are going down in the record books, I sure hope Community's in the list, somewhere next to Cheers and Golden Girls and Roseanne (not my beautiful cake, but I appreciate it theoretically) and Friends and the like (insert reparations for my forgetfulness here).

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Half of my ebay auctions are selling. I think this will inspire me to get more listed tonight. I had hoped to list some every night this week, but it has not happened.

Best thing is, the stuff that is selling now is the bulkiest take up space stuff. WOOHOO. Maybe more toys and fall clothes to list tonight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I keep looking around my house for stuff to take to my parents' yard sale on Saturday.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

msbelle, do you have a link to the not-yet-selling stuff? I can't buy, but I can poke folks I know who might be interested.

I just posted a bunch of the yard sale Harry Potters, with more to come. Anyone who knows anyone still HP-fannishly inclined, please feel free to pass along!
