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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

It can't be sweater weather already! But here I am, in a sweater.

Sweater weather would be nice, Sheryl. We've got a sudden onset of winter coat weather here.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

We had that same problem with the refrigerator before. In that case, the temperature sensor was the problem. We determined this after three attempts. Husband says you should also look at the hole in the freezer and make sure it's not plugged with ice.

And ironically, we bought a one-year warranty at that point. That warranty expired...last month. Fuck yoooooou, warranty.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I just replied to an email from a production company asking me if I knew of any goth/macabre families interested in being involved in a "lighthearted reality-based TV series". I tried to be as friendly and professional as possible while saying that most goths are wary of appearing on any "reality-based" TV, because of those shows being scripted/edited for Maximum Drama!, and because the shows often encourage a point and laugh at the freaks mentality. Let's see if the production company answers!

But... but! I might be able to think of some people who deserve Reality Television.

Though not the money that could come with. So nevermind.

It suddenly occurred to me as I was complaining that I probably should check on something like that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Though not the money that could come with. So nevermind.

I bet the families on Wife Swap (or whatever) don't actually get much money. Edit: The internet says $20K, which is not nothing! But also, check this angry person's site: [link]

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

So a student whose dissertation committee I was on sent me a lovely note and crocheted a SCARF! No one has crocheted anything for me since I was a baby.

I am all up in my feelings and had to blow my nose.

Jessica, thanks for the mount link. I think I'm going to look into that.
