I worked news in college, so I've got some of that newshound in me.
I don't think it goes away. Ever.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Our public transPort paper has an Overheard section, which is usually unremarkable; but two caught my eye today:
"How is Osama the President of America? Weren't they trying to kill him at one stage? Americans are so dumb."
There you go, Americans. You so dumb.
"I want a guy who will make me laugh and also keep me safe."
"So you want a clown ninja."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha!
Jesse Williams should cut his hair. I just watched Cabin In the Woods and he was mega fine there.
Ditto Hems.

Hmmm, I meant to start watching Scandal. . . maybe I should just catch it On Demand.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ditto Hems.
Oh, no sirree. Clearly I am racist, but no. Jesse, I want close cropped hair and focus on his bone structure and hugeness and expectational contrast of his eyes. I think Hemsworth looks better with the swinging locks.
In one of our every 6 month conversations (one of my few uses of FB--that and Scrabble with Brian, because that's the only way we talk) with Johann, he told me he auditioned for Thor. Honey? Of course you did. If I had been your agent, you would have. It might have been your only audition that year, because I don't actually know how to be an agent, but you audition for Thor. I'm not as mad as I was that he didn't get it, and I still think he'd have rocked it (he needs a good director--look at the crap that is Resident Evil 5, by all accounts), but there isn't anything to complain about re: Hemsworth other than me not having taught him krav and him not having taught me to surf.
I'd be cool with resolving all that now, the traitor that I am.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I think Hemsworth looks better with his Cabin in the Woods-era hair, but for the movies he should probably keep it like he had it in Avengers. Whatever changed between the Thor movie and that worked, and they need to not mess with it.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, yeah. M turned to D after The Avengers and said "Daddy, you look just like Thor! Except you're shorter and skinny."
Snerk. But I see a teeny resemblance...yeah, I know: WIFE.

I enjoy Thor's hair, but the casual pony bums me out a little.

So yesterday I bought four cupcakes at the cupcake truck at lunch to bring to dinner at a friend's house (two salted caramel, two coconut cream). And then I forgot them at the office.
And now I'm sitting here with $12 worth of cupcakes at my desk. Damn.
Today I have to do my application, I think.
