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."
That works.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

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

"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.

Rob Ford: The Audacity of Dope. It's almost like "Tommy Boy" took a really dark turn or something, isn't it? Although that joke dates back to conversation I with someone about Stringer Bell and what he would call his memoirs.

Fred, yeah, I feel you.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Rob Ford is a big story for Toronto, but not so much elsewhere. Kind of like Marion Barry in DC. Deserves big local headlines, but a side show everywhere else.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Annalee really didn't want to stop that feature
Well, that certainly makes me feel less good about her/them.
It's definitely not the site I fell for a few years ago, and I know I'm pretending when I think of it as us and Annalee & Charlie vs. Denton, but still. Ah, well. It's not mine.
