Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I feel like in the absence of further information, the house cleaner/caregiver is Rosie from The Jetsons, and the sex robot is Jude Law from AI.

In THAT case, I'm in.

Works for me too.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Kate, I think a zoo membership is a great thing for kids who are new walkers

Oh, good call. She's not walking yet, but I don't think it's too far off. (She's just discovered she can stand on her own, and she LOVES it. Which also means that I found her this morning standing on top of her little stool, holding onto the wall. I see some tumbles in our future...)

And I just realized that I don't actually have to make the decision by the time her birthday rolls around, because it's not as though she'll have any idea about her birthday presents anyway. So I can wait a few months longer, until whenever she seems ready. But we'll still go next weekend to see what she thinks of it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I was just telling shrift last night that I was ready for the days when robots handle customer service. They can't be worse at it than the humans.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yay zoo!

I t heart Gigolo Joe for that little "Why do you do that?" "It's what I do" conversation. I never actually thought about the whole robot sex question that is obviously part of his job. Huh.

Because books.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

My folks are here on their annual migration North.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Niece is three and has loved the zoo for at least the past year.

Maybe I'll demand a robot the next time Macy's makes me return three shirts to three different counters based on the brand.

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

Oh, and if I cite SPN as my favourite show, what of Buffy/Angel/Firefly/Community? I'm not good at that sort of decision making.

But I am good at eating fries, so let me apply myself thusly.
