Addendum to things to do this weekend: buy some Thomas Paine. Its been a while since I've read him (high school, probably.)
Yeah, I was watching PBS again...
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Congratulations, Lee! (And congratulations to the rest of the localistas for getting to keep you here!)
This really calls for a Dutch baby.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yay, Lee!
Man, those stuffed veggies are cute. I need to think of someone who needs them.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
That is indeed an awesome T shirt. Although maybe still not as awesome as my new Batman shirt.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh! I was explaining Batman to Wallybee over lunch today (we're watching Batman Begins), and just why Batman may be able to win in a battle with Superman.
Me: "Superman's the one they call a boy scout, but Batman's the one who really embodies "Be Prepared". He has, among other things, a lot of computer power which he uses to keep and analyse information on threats."
WB: "So he has an internet connection?"
Me: "Yes, Batman's secret power is his mad Googling skills."
WB: "And he keeps all this on a laptop?"
Me: "I like that. So when he tells Gordon he'll check the Joker out, his next stop is the nearest internet cafe."
WB: "Well, you said he keeps it in the Batcase."
Me: "...No, Batcave. "
WB: "Oh. That makes more sense."

::is dead from the cuteness::
Hmm. The Bat versus Supes. You have a point there - Superman may have all the raw power in the world, but Batman is one ruthless mofo. And indeed, he has his Mad Googling Skillz. (And Oracle. Sometimes.) I'd like to bet on the Bat, although I'm not entirely convinced.
He could, after all, be distracted by the Boy Wonder.

not your mom's socks.
YAY Lee!
sarameg that is an awesome gift.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm so sick of being sick! I was really good this week with getting enough sleep -- i.e., going to bed at 10(!), and last night, I still slept nine hours. I don't want to need this much sleep!
The cough is a whole nother topic.
