I drove down to Portland on Saturday morning to meet a friend (and some of her friends) from Eugene for Portland Pride. We had a good time last night, but very tired...and ended up with six people sleeping in the hotel room. Madness. My feet are killing me today...and it took four hours to drive home so I'm trying to convince myself not to go to bed at 6PM. :)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
In my ongoing oversharing of my embarassingly stupid moves: I was paying bills online and watching The Writers' Room (which I love). Successfully got all the payments and transfers set up and instead of closing Quicken or the browser window, I stopped the Game of Thrones episodes and deleted it.
I assume it'll re-air at some point and I can catch the end (because that was super interesting), but argh, wtf brain?
I don't think I believe in the Kindly Brontosaurus. It sounds like magical thinking to me - I did this thing and got this presumably unlikely result that I wanted, must be due to the thing I did! Didn't finish reading the article, though.
The red pill thing is posit-ing that feminism is the illusory world you choose by taking the blue pill and men are the ones who are really oppressed. Something like that.
What movie, msbelle?

I think I deserve at least 4pk abs after this cold. They are so sore.

Oh, right. Yeah, I think after season 7 is right. And then you're caught up.
I should really know that off the top of my head.

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

Seriously?!
I guess on the plus side, someone tries to argue that line of thinking with me, at least I know who not to bother with. On the minus side, repressing the urge to maim might cause an internal injury.
Oh, and in awkward segues, one of my good HS friends admitted that she only recently learned about the interobang. Seems so unlikely given how often she uses them in speech.

'm intrigued. Has anyone tried this? Did it work? Does it cross the line to annoying passive-aggressive?
Definitely aggressive. It's like that article that went around awhile back about the entitled white guy who did whatever he pleased, without being a loud overbearing dick and how he got cool stuff, like playing ping pong or billiards with his kids at a corporate party he wasn't invited to.
It's just so fucking entitled.
Want to get into the Hermitage in an closed area. Just stand there and stare after making your request and eventually someone will cave because you are that entitled. Fuck you, lady. Want to get on the plane after you have agreed to be bumped after the doors have closed WHILE OTHER PEOPLE ARE WAITING just because you are "beatifically" looking in overly close proximity? Fuck you again.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Ah. That sounds about right for the context. I gave up trying to find any actual logic and chose to ignore it.

Smart move.

So this production of Tarzan that I recently designed has a Q&A after each show for the kids in the audience. The stage manager puts her favorite questions into the performance report. The latest one: "Does the cast also get cookies at intermission?"
Adorbs.
"How do the lights turn on and off?" was also in there. I wonder who fielded that one and what the answer was.
