You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I know what day it is, but I spent the whole night last night dreaming work, so I am pouty today that it didn't count. Plus this whole weekend is stage managing for a retreat one of our partnering schools is putting on, so I'm not actually looking forward to the weekend. And then a buddy of our is coming to record for a week, which will be fun, but I get fatigued and I have had a lot of people in the house and/or that I am responsible for lately.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Digital Spy says that the CW is developing a teen drama around Mary, Queen of Scots.

Well, that will end badly for somebody.

The status is NOT quo.

Frank, just read your Beep Me. I'm very sorry.

Digital Spy says that the CW is developing a teen drama around Mary, Queen of Scots.

WTF. Mary Stuart was, to be honest, a self-absorbed woman obsessed with her political position and possessed of criminally poor judgment. She made a series of personal and political blunders that led her to the axe. If she'd had an ounce of sense she could have had a long and successful rule instead of ending up how she did.

OTOH, I can totally see how the adultery, explosions, murders, and possible rape add up to "teen drama" in the eyes of the CW.

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

Do you watch any series on the CW? This looks perfect! Especially with Gossip Girls ending (it is ending, right? Those kids are 40)

I don't want to put more on your plate when you're at your limit. Can you just give a thumbs up on anything that doesn't use any personal identifiers?

Uh...yeah! I mean, please help me. I'm useless, and clearly not making progress on my own. Since I know it isn't impossible, and I refuse to believe I'm an outlier, the issue is with my problem solving approach, I think. New approaches==good!

Speaking of which, I'm having a hard time maintaining my suspension of disbelief watching Britney on Glee this year.

Hey--anyone that likes Teavana and hates the stores (does not look in leN's direction), I have a offer code for free shipping, today only--holla holla if you wanna use it.

Only slightly related, if you like lightly oxidized teas loose leaf teas, give this [link] a try. It's titled peach blossom, but there's also jasmine and light light citrus in there.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I just discovered the Borg are not as cool as I thought.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That's just the Borg venerating their ancestors.
