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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Just piping in to say, not only has Matt won the weekend, I think he may have won July.

He is in the running for winning 2013.

It is the best weekend I've had in a long while. And it's a three day one, where I go to watch indie films, and get together with a former roomie for discounted all-you-can-eat steak at a churrascaria tomorrow.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I still have a ton of house-cleaning ahead of me today, but at the end I get to see my brother, sil and niece, AND we get to see Blue Man Group. So all worth it, right?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I skimmed. The Blue Man Group is cleaning your house?

If only! I wouldn't even mind the blue makeup smears, truly.

Because books.

Me, too! I just read that.

All the people in my Coursera class seem to have master's degrees already. I'm a little intimidated.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

That is about the most gracious statement I could expect from a Pope about homosexuality and actually rather lovely.

I think what I like best about him is that he's matter-of-factly all about compassion and relieving poverty and suffering. After Darth Ratzenberg it's nice to have a pontiff who actually emulates Jesus instead of just using his biography to rationalize prejudice.
