I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This  

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oy. My boss is "helping" me with my job in the most unhelpful way possible.

Awesome.

Oh, how awful. Poor him and poor everyone who loves him.

ETA: Lee Thompson Young. I mean, obviously, but...

hip deep in pie

I have never seen R&I, but how sad.

Another 90s look: spaghetti strap sundress over baby T. I think Emily N mentioned that on Twitter on the weekend.

I thought you were talking about Jesse's boss! Thank you for the ETA.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Someone questioned my outfit to my MiL's memorial because it was dark taupe, not black. FWIW.

Sister will be coming home today, but no clear ETA on that. Thanks for all the support here. It means a lot.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

All the office people have left the office except me. I have 3 pieces of paper to deal with and them and done, so that means I get to play in the interwebs, right?

Yeah, it was unfortunate placement!

Then I screwed up his name at first... I think "He was just a child!" [not really, and I know that age isn't a preventative factor] and Lee Childs collided in my brain?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Another 90s look: spaghetti strap sundress over baby T.

I wore that shit ALL. THE. TIME.

Basically, whatever the 90210 girls wore their first couple of years of college is totally what I wore.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

It's very sad.

msbelle, H and I used to rock, paper, scissors, loser had to wake StE for school. It was difficult for him to shut down enough to sleep before midnight, even if he went to bed at 9pm. His circadian rythym was just geared to vampire hours for about four years. He went along willingly with all efforts to get him up in the morning, but it was just physically difficult for him. He was a senior when he bought a windup clock with the loudest, most obnoxious ring (and an audible tock, tock, tock) he could find, set in all the way across the room so he'd have to get out of bed to shut it off. And even that didn't work.

He did get it honest, though. As a college freshman, we had bunk beds we couldn't dismantle, plus a single bed, in a small room for two people. Plus two dressers, and two desks. I had the top bunk; the bottom bunk was blocked with furniture. I had to climb from the desk chair to the desk to the dresser to get up to bed. My roommate watched me reverse the process: bed to dresser to desk to chair to floor, cross the room, turn off the clock, and climb back into bed...all without waking up.

So yeah. It isn't necessarily wilful. Medical science really ought to work on an antidote. Emmett's school isn't the only one nationwide that has set their start time later in the morning in response to the problem.

Do long flowy skirts, tees, and blazers with the sleeves shoved or rolled up qualify for 90s? Or is that late 80s? I forget.
