I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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.

Super-boring home buying news: Our homeowner's insurance is going to be a third of what it is with the current house.

Also, our mortgage guy is seriously pissing me off. We've asked about five times for him to get a comprehensive list of what documents he needs from us. Instead, we get one or two emails each day, asking for something else. He's approaching dentist-levels of hate for me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

For a second there I thought Pence was going to break into a Journey song.

I now have a new spare room mattress, thank to Nanita's rec. Even fit in my egg car! The frame might be another story, as at least one piece might be longer than the cabin. But I still might be able to manage it if I unbox certain things. Saves a delivery fee or rental/zipcar. Of course now I have to unburden myself of the old mattress and boxspring and all the full sized sheet sets. I can probably give some to the parents for the full guestbeds they have.

One thing down on countdown to the parents!

Mike Pence looks like a Star Wars villain. Not a Sith Lord; one of the generic British dudes with pinched faces on the bridge of a Star Destroyer.

Definitely Empire. I think it's the too perfect hair.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I actually turned the debate off when Tim Kaine listed the 5 points of the 5-point plan. Someone tell me if it turns into a harmonica jamboree.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

Scrappy - I live in Portland and would be happy to answer questions or find information for you - my profile addy is good (and I picked up and moved here from Texas about six years ago so I encourage the impulse!)

I think Kaine just accused Trump of being in Hydra.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I have such a viscerally negative stress response when people talk over each other. It's like my blood pressure goes up by the second.

Pence's hair is quite remarkable.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Me to, smonster. I can't stand it. Also, I am amused that my phone knows that smonster is a name and wants to capitalize it rather than trying to change it to another word.

I don't want the context, I don't want the actual quote; I'm just taking this as given, and it's AWESOME.
