Where's the refraining?
That was mental crap, man. MENTAL.
On the name front, I think there are themes and then there is matchy-matchy. Themes are fine! Especially for pets.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't mind so much having to flush after a previous stall user so long as they managed to successfully target the bowl in the first place.
This.
OK, moving on, but I've been wanting to vent on that particular issue for a long time. I swear we must be employing monkeys and chimps at this company somewhere.

Can PBS survive without a government subsidy?
The Learning Channel is a good lesson here. It survived privatization to become a symbol of the depths of American "civilization." The Unlearned Channel. I'm sure that PBS could survive on child beauty pageants too, but it would be sad end.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I don't really liked themed naming of pets or children.
I don't, either (I don't even like rhyming with my brother) -- EXCEPT pot-related names are COMEDY GOLD. Come on, Toke and Bong? You can't beat that.

PBS in San Francisco is a whole lot of Deepak Chopra and Lawrence Welk. If it weren't for Sesame Street they'd be useless.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I like couple-themed names--a friend had two dogs named Kate and Spencer, for example.

It's like you bought them in a set at Target.
Wait, that isn't how you get a family? Damn, no wonder I'm single! :)
I am not wanting to work because my computer is having issues, so I have to send it in to be fixed. Of course, it won't be fixed and back to me until at least next Thursday. So meanwhile I have a loaner. Which first off, has windows 7 and office 2010 (my current one has older versions) so that's a total "wait how do I use this" and then I had to call the helpdesk to get them to make the loaner have access to my printer and my shared drive and all that...argh.

KQED? I'm willing to bet they show the bulk of the PBS primetime lineup.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
They do. A whole block of Nova last night, for example. And there's a local restaurant review show that I kinda like. And some other not produced by KQED but produced in California shows
Eta: and most viewers also get KTEH, which I recall being good for sic-fi and I think a third one. KVIE? That's what I get up here.
