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.

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

V. slowly. Over 1 month there was a distribution of charges in LA and Barstow. West LA and Barstow. One card.

Clearly I had just gotten my dream Barstow job.

Getting turned down at Walgreen's ain't no nothing. But it does remind me that the best fraud checker is me remembering to look. No excuses there.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It seems like the Angel of Death is easily confused by names.

It's remarkably literal. It wasn't even supposed to be doing this! While it was asleep one day, one of the other angels wrote "ANGEL OF DEATH" on its robes as a prank, and when it woke up it was all, "Well, crap. Guess I'd better get busy then."

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Oh man, the P4 stuff just took another turn for the weirder.

But it does explain why email threats got the FBI's attention.

Also - that poor woman.

So I took a deep breath and delved into the comments on a Yahoo political story. And lo and behold! Most of the comments on the top of the popular list were not shrieking right wing rants of stupidity. I had begun to suspect that somewhere people were being paid to troll the comment boards of news stories, and now I'm beginning to wonder if I might have been right.

In my limited perusal of political comments, the right wingers are laying very low.

I don't have any particular insight into the Petraeus debacle.

I would like to find the list of embassy deaths, though, since 1990. I'm just too lazy to look.

Dinner is kale salad with lemon chicken and for dessert sweet potato pie.

Good lord, what a clusterfuck.

I want dinner I want to not spend more money, but I don't want anything in the house. I would like Kats dinner to magically sppear through the tubes, please. It sounds delicious and healthy. (What? Sweet potatoes are veggies! It's so good!)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

This is now sounding like a Coen Brothers movie.

My sister and I know the same two words of Swahili. The one that sounds like her name, and the one that sounds like mine.

We are such children.

I am trying to commit today that no matter what other food is on hand, two snacks a day will be fruit (maybe veg, but that's unlikely).

Let's see if I remember to stop by the grocery on the way home.

It's just finally *quiet* at work. Shit's getting done.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

from the Obama with Kids tumbler: I remember that Michelle had tried to soothe this baby but wasn't able to, and Big Daddy stepped in.
