Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh my sympathies on the lice. We miraculously only had them once, and that was quite enough. Evil.

Congrats Steph!!

I have never watched Good Wife. Among other things. I will have plenty to watch when I retire, right? I actually always thought that if I got sick I could catch up on a bunch of reading and tv series and so forth. I was sincerely disappointed that I ended up being too weak and out of sorts to focus or stay awake if I tried it. That was a nasty surprise.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Haha, I was wondering about if you'd have contact with Nemesis or not but didn't dare ask.

Oh, and I'm totally bringing pumpkin bread into the office my first day back.

I would bring it at least once a week!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Also spoiled for Good Wife. And the DH has a meeting tonight and so I can't watch it until tomorrow.

Jesse- I know the giraffe kiss is Good Stuff, but it makes me cry too much at work!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I didn't even watch it myself!

Because books.

That was my fault. I'm sorry!

I would strongly suggest that the unspoiled Good Wife people not watch late night television shows either.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This is kind of funny: Box Turtle Bulletin » When we act the way we wish they would

Bill Donahue, the leader of the Catholic League was one of the most strident (and absurd) voices calling for the exclusion of gay people from the Saint Patrick’s Parades in New York and Boston. And firmly convinced in the accuracy of his own narrative that gay people hate straights and poeple of faith and are “the real bigots”, Donahue set out to prove his point.

He filed a petition with the organizers of the New York Gay Pride Parade requesting that he be allowed to march under a “Straight is Great” banner. He was sure that this was a message that gay people would find offensive. And, being a hate-filled asshat, he assumed that gay people would act with the same animus and exclusion towards him that is Donahue’s standard action towards us.

But, of course, we don’t hate straight people. And we agree, straight actually is great – just like gay and bisexual. And, thought Donahue probably didn’t know it, many many straight people – Catholics, even – happily march in the parade each year to show their support for the community. Heck, some Catholic churches even have delegations.

So the organizers immediately said yes. Sarah Kate Ellis, the head of GLAAD and a fellow Irish New-Yorker, said she’d be happy to march with him.

The irony is, of course, that the last thing Donohue wants to do is march in a gay pride parade. And now, having been greeted with graciousness, he’s looking for a way to weasel out.

Yeah, I heard Donahue was pulling out. He's such a waste of air, and it's embarrassing to have him attempt to represent me (as an Irish Catholic American). He doesn't represent me, but he claims to. Don't be on my side, jerk!
