Hil, do you want to see it opening night and/or a different date? I'm probably going to get tickets soon-ish, so let me know. (By "opening night," I mean Friday, probably a 9-ish show, given how long it takes Tim to leave work.)

(Thursday. After the all-day Captain America marathon at the theatre. Yeah. LOOK AT MY LIFE, LOOK AT MY CHOICES.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

After the all-day Captain America marathon at the theatre.

I thought about doing that, because I would have liked to see TFA, Avengers, and Winter Soldier on the big screen one more time, but then my practical side reminded me I didn't really want to sit my ass in a movie theater all day.

Well, the doctor officially pronounced me OK after the accident. The car's being taken to the State Farm lot, and I should know if it's fixable soon.

My Dad is pushing for a new Prius. Anyone looked at one of those recently?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My brother just bought one. Found buying a new one just as cheap as buying used.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Questionable parenting choices: sending a sick kid to school dosed on Advil so he could take his class picture, then sending a parent up to school to bring him home once it was over. But but but in my defense, he really wanted to be part of the picture! Okay, not a good excuse, but oh well.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Glad you are officially okay! You should get a certificate.

Defensible, Burrell.

Thanks -t, I do have a bit of guilt about germs although he clearly caught whatever it was from there to begin with.

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.

chrismg, I'm glad you're ok after that accident.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Please don't let me yell at my anti-vaxxer friend on FB. Please don't let me yell at my anti-vaxxer friend on FB. Please don't let me yell at my anti-vaxxer friend on FB.

I mean, good god, there will NEVER be double-blind randomized clinical trials of vaccinated vs unvaccinated children, and you know why? IT'S FUCKING UNETHICAL.

And don't tell me "reputable studies have duplicated Wakefield's claims and proven the link that thousands of parents already KNOW about why our children's lives are ruined." Because (1) citation needed, I mean REALLY, if you're going to claim that peer-reviewed randomized clinical trials exist that prove a connection between vaccines and ASD, and (2) you're a shitty parent if you proclaim your child's life is "ruined" because of an ASD diagnosis. Go fuck yourself.

So, yeah. I'm not going to post that because there is no reasoning with crazy-ass antivaxxers. SCIENCE HAS PROVED YOU WRONG so shut the fuck up, wingnut. And try viewing your kid as a person instead of something that's "ruined."
