Or Texas, where the ads are "Fear the brown people! Except you ones that are here legally, you should vote for us. As long as you're here legally. With ID and a notarized affidavit from your mom or your pastor."
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

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 terrifically busy with my ennui.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I hate that I have to be all up in mac's ass about school. If I do not check on his grades and work every week he will fail classes. Class websites are not up to date, so I cannot see when assignments are due in all classes, cannot see when homework is assigned. He tells me NOTHING and then I see failing grades because assignments were not turned in late last week or early this week. SO FURIOUS with all of it. Because I just saw it, he has had computer and tv tonight, but NONE after until this is fixed this coming week. Have a great weekend jackie.
So 4 emails to teachers tonight. If I discover that he has lied to me about attending tutoring this week, the grounding will grow. this kid!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just went to see Brian Stokes Mitchell perform. That was incredible. I was sitting in the third row, so I could see all his facial expressions clearly, and it was just him and a piano player, and it was fabulous, and now I don't want to have to come back to the real world.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh msbelle, I totally feel your pain on the homework front. Franny did manage to salvage her grades for this first trimester, but So. Much. Work. For both of us. I do not have time to retake middle school!
I have a student who is driving me crazy. I can't even go into detail here about it, as I will just go crazier. But suffice to say, demanding, lazy, grade-grubbing student is crazy making!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Yeah, that's different from NC, where the ads against the Democrat boil down to, "You know she agreed with Obama once, right?"
Ah, that would be the New Hampshire senatorial race. I really want a stake through Scott Brown's career the way I want one through Mitt Romney's.
Or, you know, just ASCEND ALREADY!?!?!?!?!?!!!!

Dinner was had here [link]
It's very good. And was just barely warm enough to sit outside wearing a light coat or sweater.

Thrive to spite them
Most of the political ads I've seen are either for NY or NH races. The only one I remember for Vermont is the Shumlin pushed for GMO labeling.
The Dems in NH have been running "too extreme for the Tea Party" ads about Marilinda Garcia. From what I can tell she's against abortion, wants doctors to go to jail for performing abortions, wants to abolish the Dept of Education, voted against the Violence against Women act and something else.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
In IL it's all about painting the other candidate as the most corrupt. Rauner blames Quinn for 100 years of corruption and Oberweis tries to conflate Dick Durbin with Nixon.
