Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I do nothing to counter the stereotype the GenX abuses the fuck out of the ellipsis, huh? Oh, well. I'll own it.
The ellipsis are our Precious.

Always Anti-fascist!

If it weren't for my parens thing, I'd have an ellipsis thing.

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

Timelies all!

We finally had the IEP meeting today. Mr. S will be starting at the same school he was at last year, but referrals are being sent to non-public schools that would better serve his needs.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I mean, if you're a germaphobe and/or not willing to eat food that's hanging on a wooden peg on a wall

You had me at "donut wall."

Our wings are not tired.

Sheryl, I hope that Mr. S is placed in a school that is a good fit.

Right?

The ellipsis are our Precious.

Also, "Right?"

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I heard on IPR of NPR in Iowa, say that the states picked their own songs for the roll call.

Yeah. But he walked out to "Small Town" by Mellencamp, which I loved.

I wonder if Bruce will show up this year? Seems like the zeitgeist has moved past having Springsteen at your rally.

I am finding myself hopeful these days. Makes it easier to sleep. But it is weird to think about being 2 degrees from POTUS. If it happens, which I hope it does.

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

Remember the zoom roll call from 2020? They took the necessity of doing it remotely and found a way for each state to express some personality. It was fantastic! This year's DJ party was a fun evolution from that (We won't go back!).
