Lin-Manual Miranda has released the first eight minutes of In The Heights ... it looks good.
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
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.

What is the policy on semicolons?

I came across this a while ago (forget where):
In 1837, two Parisian law school professors had a duel because they couldn't agree on whether a certain passage should end with a colon or a semicolon.

As it should be.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
But who won???

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

I support the Oxford comma. I do not support the nonsense that is currently “my job” though. I want to burn it all down.
In frustrating news the judge denied an emergency hearing for guardianship/custody of Jay's son saying there was no emergency. I mean, sure what's the emergency with an 11 year old kid whose Dad has been in the hospital for almost 2 months, half that time in a coma, and is looking at who knows how much time in rehab and we don't know how much he will recover. And whose mom is currently in jail waiting arraignment for violating her probation (for a DUI with property damage) by getting a DUI with property damage while driving on a suspended license.
Dear lord. What is an emergency if not that?!?

Thrive to spite them
Meara I wish I knew. I don't know anything about this judge but I'm picturing someone who looks vaguely like McConnell.
