Grace and I are watching the West Wing Pilot. She's not as impressed as I am.
Book: I believe I just... I think I'm on the wrong ship. Inara: Maybe. Or maybe you're exactly where you ought to be.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yay, super deluxe insurance! JEJ should talk to me about insurance and pretty much everything.

Sorry to share in two places, but this is classic Noah:
Noah and K came back from seeing Frozen. We were talking about what happened.
Noah: And there was kissing. It was inappropriate.
Me: Why? Is all kissing inappropriate, like when I kiss you?
Noah: No, Moooooommm.
I kiss Katie and then say: Inappropriate like this?
Noah: No, Mooooommmm. It was all on the screen and huge.
Me:??
Noah: Plus it was a boy and girl not like you and mom. That's why it's different and inappropriate.
And somewhere, people who support the religious right feel a sharp and inexplicable pang.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Ah, so the cartoon characters do throw their heterosexual lifestyle in our faces?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Plus it was a boy and girl not like you and mom. That's why it's different and inappropriate.
Bwahahahah! Awesome, Noah.
Aeryn wants to be Ilsa and have frozen powers. Like mother, like daughter.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
He should be making robo calls to people saying "I find your lack of health cover disturbing."
I love billytea, that is all.
Oh no wait, that's not all. I love Noah too.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
And somewhere, people who support the religious right feel a sharp and inexplicable pang.
Ha! I love it.
Yay, Ginger! That is wonderful.
Lots of recovery~ma for H!

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
This is from way-back but it seems worth mentioning...
I feel like I have the opposite story to cultural appropriation, perhaps cultural abandonment. Noah refuses to believe he is Chinese. He has said, on two occasions, "People keep saying I'm Chinese but they are wrong." Essentially. When I tell him he is wrong and ask him what he is, he says, "White" and then offers up his inner arm as proof.
When I was a small child I insisted I wasn't white. The only white people I spent any time with on a regular basis were my parents. The neighborhood we lived in was largely African American, our church was black, all my friends were black, my babysitter was black... he's the one I had a meltdown with when he said something about my being white. When my mother brought it up later and asked me what I was I held up my inner arm and said (quite adamantly), "I'm pink."

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
For a while, my niece insisted that she was grey. She said that if her father was black and her mother was white, that makes her grey. I was very amused.
