Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have never worn a thong in that time!

I think that might be your clue right there.

It's a hint thong?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Maybe she has really strong feels about VPLs?

I've gotten sexy bras from the mom and sister, because bras I wear are pricey, and I will say "I want X bra in Y size and Z color for Xmas."

Only good girlfriends attended my bachelorette, so I got pretty underwear and a salad bowl.

Heh.

I love my M-W-F aqua aerobics ladies. I'm finishing about when they start, but they always heckle me and if I finish early enough, we catch up before their class starts. They've been known to make the guards keep a lane until I'm done (normally goes down from 3 to 2) if it is crowded. (They have no compunction about invoking circle swim once I pop out, I've noticed.)

I know all about all their surgeries and kids and grandkids...

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

That works.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

IO9 ran a "fanfic friday" for a while in which one of their regular commenters ripped a random fanfic to shreds. There was a weak disclaimer saying he likes some fanfics, this is just a bad one.

I remember that one. Annalee really didn't want to stop that feature but when she did I felt obliged to send her a supportive note. It was a quandry for her.

McAuliffe wins in Virginia. Take that, Tea Party!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Here is why I weight gender in voting: Generally, the candidates for City Council seemed fine, with varying emphases on issues I care more or less about, but none of the ones I knew anything about seemed crazy or bad. As it turned out, one woman got voted off the council after two more didn't run for re-election, and four men got added, leaving just one woman on the City Council. That is not right!

It's funny, though, I bet at least one of the incumbent was voted out by accident, with the preferential voting. It certainly happened to me, where I ended up ranking one of them much lower than I meant to, but didn't care enough to re-do the whole ballot.

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

Woke up vaguely hearing sirens, but they sounded distant, so I was pretty surprised to find an ambulance and a fire truck in my cul-de-sac when I got to the front door. Not enough activity to tell which house they were at much less what was going on. I hope everyone down at that end of the street is okay.

I think I have met my excitement quota.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm not sure I'm excited about McAuliffe winning in VA. But I'm ecstatic that Kookinelli lost.
