'Life of the Party'
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.
I'd also like to point out that it's currently 62 degrees here, and will apparently be back up to 70 by Sunday.
Oh, we're up to -6F since I last looked. Then I checked the National Weather Service:
Where are you again, shrift?
4th level of Hell? 7th? I can't keep the frozen lakes straight.
This morning the weather reported that in-town was the warm spot of the area: 11 degrees (without wind chill).
shrift lives slightly closer to the sun than I do.
Paris, ooh.
I have a trip planned this fall but I want something sooner. Just not sure how I'll fit it in my schedule.
I have my trip to Ireland planned. The airline just changed my itinerary so the 10 hour layover in St. John's is now only 2. Score! I won't have to go visit cousins I don't really know.
A friend is going to NYC in July and was enticing me to come along.
Megan and Elena are going to see NPH in Hedwig on Easter weekend and want me to come along.
Of course, I am still waiting to hear about the job in The Hague so all travel plans are on hold. (Apparently The Hague is a four hour train ride from Paris, though.)
I say with nothing but love...
all you traveling people are making me jealous jealous jealous and I may be thinking not the nicest thoughts.
I'm going to Tuscaloosa on Valentines Day.
Does anybody else watch The Fosters? They introduced a trans* character in last night's episode, and cast a trans* actor. I have very rarely seen shows do that. (And this show, so far, has done really well on a lot of gender and sexuality issues. There are lesbian parents, and a subplot that I thought was REALLY well done about a 12-year-old boy who sometimes likes to wear dresses and nail polish and stuff like that. Various adults and kids reacted to it in different ways, sometimes violently. The adult who was clearly supposed to be the voice of reason basically said, "OK, you like this stuff. That's cool -- different people like different stuff. You've already seen that sometimes, other people react badly to it. That's wrong, and they shouldn't do it, and we'll do everything we can to stop them. But we can't protect you all the time, so you do have to think about where you're going and who will see you if you dress like this, even though it's the other people who are in the wrong here. But don't let them stop you from being yourself, when it is safe, and we can all try to make the world a safer place while we're at it. And by the way, that nail polish looks awesome."
