'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Last day of work before vacation! LAistas, I will be in Culver City the 27th through the 3rd. I think we'll spend a day in Legoland.
I am bothered by the fact that the National Cathedral is ringing the bell 26 times today instead of 27. Leaving Nancy Lanza out of it is very blame the victim to me.
Agreed Sparky. Though, I do have to snarkily refrain myself from saying to all of the people who think a gun = protection, "If only Nancy Lanza had guns then she could protected herself!" So I'm sort of a bad person too.
I'd love to see you while you're here, if possible. If not, that's okay too. Things are crazyballs (at least today) so I'd understand if not.
I'm also really tempted to take Noah to a place with arcade and video games. It's almost (ALMOST) irresistible. Not Chuck E Cheese, but maybe Dave and Busters?
I still haven't heard LDB this season. I'm feeling a bit left out.
I don't know why I haven't RickRolled you all with LDB. (Would that be a Little Drummer BoyRoll?)
"Likewise, we all know from experience that Internet message boards aren’t Borg-like mind-melding machines that multiply users’ brain power."
They aren't? But...It's what I was counting on!
My DH loves Dave and Busters (it's part of his childhood in Dallas) so I know he'd love to do that. Other than Legoland one day, and a party at my sisters' on Friday (did you want to come over for some Bluegrass music? The band is playing. I think we're eating tamales.) we have no plans. K would love to try and boss your kids around.
DH also got a $20 bill with the words "GUN OWNER" stamped on in it big red letters. The people at the meetings in Vienna were taking their pictures with it (they were meeting about the Arms Trade Treaty).
I just looked.... the only Dave and Busters is in Arcadia (near Pasadena) and Irvine. Hmmmm...I thought there might be one near Culver City, but I was wrong.
mmmmm... tamales! and music! that all sounds fun.
Okay, I should get OFF the internet and go shower and make a twin shower then get us. UGH. Also Time Machine wants to back up.
did you want to come over for some Bluegrass music? The band is playing. I think we're eating tamales.
I'll be right over...
I will send you details, Kat. As for you, Sox, you know where G lives . . .
K will be wearing her "I love the mandolin player" t-shirt.
While my experience of K suggests she can successfully boss most people around, I do wonder how she would fare against the combined strength of the twins. Truly, it would be a contest for the ages.
"Likewise, we all know from experience that Internet message boards aren’t Borg-like mind-melding machines that multiply users’ brain power."
Aside from this one obviously idiotic statement, the choice between "collective consciousness" and "100% independent actors" for describing the actions of large social groups is clearly a false dichotomy. The fact that we are not bees does not imply that we are completely asocial.
Timelies all!
Heading to the airport soon to go to Florida, where my Internet access will be limited. See you on the 25th!
