Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I use naïve as the pronunciation guide.

Jezebel has a piece on people who dress to get featured on street style blogs, and I immediately regret not having worn my cardigan on my shoulders cape-style while I was out today.

Three hours in the DMV, five minutes at the Shell, and I have license plates again and they're on my car. Thank DOG that's done with. Then I hit TJ's, Ralphs, and Sprouts in order to get the right groceries. Why can't one store have everything, or I settle? But...I need my alternative flours, my Cascade dishwashing liquid and...why the fuck was I in TJ's anyway? Because I foolishly thought it would have things like alternative flours. Though now I do have a vat of cheap blueberries. I'll allow them that.

Who here has been skydiving? It's one of the S things I intended to do in Cali--surfing and shooting I have, SCUBA and swordfighting I have not. But it's not like you can skydive a little--you can dip your toe into my other S-things, NSM that. I'm hoping I can tag along and watch Colin skydive soon--he does it for charity in the summer. But he doesn't know if guests are allowed.

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

Timelies all!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I got sidetracked by the article about the rape gifs posted in comments by burner accounts. I'm wondering if Nick Denton has a potato where his soul should be. (Also, isn't the solution just don't allow burner accounts to post gifs?) (Or, I don't know, ban IP addresses?) (Or ditch Kinja?)

Is that why she wasn't on the plane when she should have been?

Is it amazing? If so, how amazing?

(I need to stop thinking about things that cost money until my income is restored. Or I can call it planning...)

I was trying to read up on local banning of digital billboards--are there really three left working in LA? Are they legal anywhere else (Times Square not included)?

Oodles of digital billboards in Utah.

Startlingly there used to be a time when all of those were implemented and there was no violent porn posting problem.

Denton just needs a little more time to see the pattern. If he's still holding out to get the perfect hot tip submission platform, he needs to point to articles generated by hot tips, because he's got zero cred on that front.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've seen a bunch of them in NJ.

Along what kinds of streets? And how densely? I think there were spots near me where you could see three animations/changeovers at a time. And then...they all went dark, like they were the most evil thing ever.

It was mostly business real estate, if memory states, so it wasn't keeping kids up at night so much or anything.

The article on street fashion has some odd links: [link] [link] [link] [link] -- it's making me feel out of touch again.
