'Lineage'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm so tired of students, college students. Just the thoughtlessness, the self-centeredness, the undue sense of entitlement. I hates them, precious!
Yeah, I live in a college town, and I get this sometimes, too. My favorite bar was chosen because a) it has great cocktails and comfy furniture and b) college students never, ever go there. But I still have to dodge them on the way there. Or so I've been led to believe. I'm open to alternate theories.
Hi all. So I was judging a speech tournament today and there was a prose piece about an 18 year old girl who had debilitating migraines due to a head injury sustained in a swimming accident. At the beginning, a doctor tells her, "well, you won't die from it, you'll just always have extensive pain." I just about broke down crying right then. Had a hard time paying attention to the rest.
Kiba, I'm sorry but I missed what you're going to be studying
The word "just" is so horrid, ChiKat. That's so hard.
Podcasts: I just started listening to Compulsory - a podcast about people who make stuff. it's about the right length. spilled milk is a shortish & non- serious food podcast I enjoy.
What I've noticed is that often podcasts are shorter at first and then gradually get longer.
It was horrible. On several levels.
I highly recommend the BBC Friday Night Comedy Podcast, which is British political/news-based comedy. The podcast rotates between two BBC Radio 4 shows: The News Quiz, which fills the same evolutionary role as Wait Wait, hosted by the incomparable Sandi Toksvig; and The Now Show, which is sketch satirical comedy, hosted by Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis. I often gasp at the pointedness of the humor. It helps to know a bit about British current events, but reading the Guardian occasionally should do you; even without that, you should be able to get what's going on.
Oh, ChiKat. Oh my.
Huh. So "Friends" is the origin of BFF?
Thank you, Netflix. I think.
Oh, Chikat. So hard.
A friend insisted on knowing "what was up with me" this afternoon, and wouldn't accept "I lost a friend." Do I know him? Or her? Is she local? Where do you know her from?
Guys, I had to explain ita. And yes, the board, which is hard but doable. But ita, NSM.
Kat, and helpful others, I was looking at the top of the page here, where the quote is. I see no link or button there. Nor is there one in the sidebar, just Buf links and Buf filk, plus the FAQ, how-to, etiquette, map (which works now, thanks!), about, and admins. Which, you know, I can find the dive, it's just she said button, and there's no button--reportage, not complaint.
