Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Things my old ass self has been pondering lately:

When photocopiers heated up and kept jamming and you had to let them cool down
When a cup of yogurt was 8 oz in a little waxed paper cup
Getting up to change the channel (misplaced our volume remote for two days - brutal)

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

When a cup of yogurt was 8 oz in a little waxed paper cup

This is not ringing any bells for me. Yogurt has always been in plastic or glass or made by me and then maybe in anything

Getting up to change the channel

Yeah, but we only had 4 channels so it wasn't so important. My dad, at one point, had a sort of wired remote, a mechanical sort of thing with a cable connecting it to the TV. It seemed very fancy

Our wings are not tired.

As a kid we only had NBC as a local station, so there wasn't any changing channels.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was trying to think if I even know where the buttons ARE on my current TV, and then I realized "changing the channel" isn't a thing I can even do anymore since we only have streaming! (Even our broadcast TV, when we had it, was through YouTubeTV.)

My TV does have buttons but they are cunningly concealed. I think I had to use them to set up a universal remote or something and it was not easy. Pretty much watch everything on my phone these days though

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Yeah, I don't think our TV could do anything without a remote.

I pulled my quad muscle and it's really painful! So I took a Vicodin leftover from my carpal tunnel surgery and I took a Flexiril, and it turns out they work together pretty effectively, where "effective" means "makes me stoned." So I am really stoned now and watching Leverage (thank you, TV remote) and eating white cheddar rice cakes.

This is how yogurt-ancient I am. [link]

For some reason I started popping out the cardboard disk in the lid and collecting them for a while. I think I liked the way the felt. Maybe my friends and I traded them?

Turns out our sound bar can be operated manually. Thank heavens. I felt like an Ingalls.

OK, this Pintarest will probably be my new happy place as the nation burns. [link]

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

My passport is here! Gotta say, I was a little concerned until I got it. What with the *hands* fracking everything going on in this crazy country.

Amusingly, I just got my hair cut today and my passport picture was the same day as my last haircut.

Old-school Dannon. The boysenberry was the best. Such a pretty purple.

I had no idea what you meant when you referred to yogurt in a waxed paper cup, but then the picture brought it all back. I definitely remember that!
