"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Also, was Feral Boy part of the Civic-Minded Five, or am I misremembering?

He certainly was!

I would die without my broiler! I use it all the time.

Sorry, flea. That is sucky news to have half a year to receive. Of course they are completely wrong and I personally would hire you for just about anything except chauffeur.

msbelle, I would like to grant you the power of laser eyes today so you can singe their eyebrows with your rage.

ION, we did an investor pitch last week and it looks like we're going to get money to try to finish our deal. Because we are out here starving while the bigass companies take their sweet time about doing what they do.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I'm sorry, flea. That sucks.

Thanks for the love for my kid's sign. It was DW's call to do that one. Here it is for those not on FB: [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I love how the major theme of the first two episodes of Yuri!!! on Ice is "OMG there are TWO people named YURI!"

I am happy to report that the person they hired has a much better resume than mine - she was the librarian at the American Academy in Rome. I don't know her, and I have no idea why she wants to move to Cincinnati, but she's probably pretty good.

jeeeesus christ, just discovered that our bank's bill payment has been sending things a day or two late. As in, a day or two after the due date.

I know I'm about the only person watching Emerald City, but there was a bit on the last episode I wanted to share. Glinda is very straitlaced, provides female advisors to the Wizard, said advisors quite nun-like. The Witch of the West runs a brothel, and her brand of magic is far more sensuous. Dorothy runs into the boy Tip, who is being held captive by a witch in the countryside, who insists he takes a potion every day. Dorothy helps Tip escape with his friend Jack, but when Tip goes longer than a day without the potion, he becomes a girl, and it turns out she was born a girl, and she has no idea why the witch wanted her to be a boy. She has spent all her life as a boy, and she's not at all happy at discovering how the world treats girls.

She meets Glinda and Mistress West, who offer her a choice: join Glinda's order, learn anything she wants to, never be touched by anyone, possibly become powerful, or go with West, experience pleasure and forgetfulness. Tip sneers at both of them: "So, you're saying that my only choices as a girl are to be a nun or a whore?" Glinda and West shift awkwardly. West then shrugs: "We get to sleep late?"

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

I'm watching Emerald City, though I haven't gotten to the most recent one yet.

That is not how a bill payment service is supposed to work, Dana's bank.

I guess that is some consolation, flea. I like the librarian superhero plan.

Love the sign, Glam!

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

Timelies all!

Planning to go to dance practice for the first time in nearly 4 months.(Was going to go last week, but Mr. S got sick)

Aarghing on your behalf, Dana.

Hooray, dance!

I forgot I was gonna tell y'all, got to quote the Ideal Gas Law at my coworkers, which is always fun for me. It came up because my thermos made a loud popping noise and then I couldn't get the lid off, so we were discussing why that would be. Best guess is that I had the hot soup in there for too long, and it cooled down enough to decrease the pressure in a significant way. One guy was trying to posit expansion.
