Mac would not get up and go to church this morning so I took the wifi plug as I do. Thing is I have nothing to do from now until 4 but do not want to go home. Currently in a parking lot about to go into a clothing store where I need NOTHING.

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.
Movie time?
I decided that I really could do with some pants and pant buying is THE WORST for me. I tried on a good 30 pairs of pants and ended up with 2, one is just a thick pair of leggings. My ass was not made for most pants. I think I need to buy 1 or 2 sizes to big and then have them tailored. Or just wear Lee jeans and the rest of the time skirts and dresses.
I also bought a shirt, a jean jacket (really have been wanting one), and a pair of shoes. had coups which got me $30 off the total, so not the worst shopping ever.
The plastic bit on my keyfob that connected to my keychain broke, so I went to the Subaru dealer.
This has happened to me multiple times with my Ford keyfob. I've been able a new keyfob case for $5 off of Amazon and just move the innards into the new case. Maybe you can do the same for a Subaru keyfob.
msbelle, Lee pants tend to work for me, though you might need to have them hemmed.
Timelies all!
Wow, it's been veeeery quiet here today.
My whole internet is quiet. Is there some other internet people are using that I just haven't found yet?
Yes! That sweet sweet secret internet.
Meanwhile, my dad has been making waves. Some background: back in 2001, 438 refugees trying to reach Australia by boat ran into distress. They were rescued by a Norwegian freighter, which tried to take them to Christmas Island, an Australian territory. (That's right, Australia claims sovereignty over Christmas. Bonus footage: Santa's elves in action: [link]
The Tampa was refused permission to (re-)enter Australian waters; ever since then, our conservative party has adopted a policy of processing such asylum-seekers offshore, held in forced detention centres in countries such as Nauru and Papue New Guinea, to try to limit Australia's obligation to accept refugees. (I'm vehemently opposed; it's an arrangement ripe for human rights abuses and may violate Australia's international law obligations.)
Anyway, the PNG centre was subjected to legal challenge in that country's Supreme Court. Thus: [link]
I'm home from NYC where I saw, among other people, Tom and Jessica! Good times. Also got through both Memory AND Komarr! I mean, I guess I did other stuff, too.
Yay for your dad, bt! And by that I mean both yay for his accomplishments and yay that he uses his power for good.
