Tara ,'Empty Places'
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.
Just heard on the radio -- the NY Senate voted "no" on marriage, 38-24.
One of the perks to working at home today. I could say, "You goatfucking fuckers" out loud in response to this, without fear of annoying my coworkers.
Although most of them would probably agree with the sentiment, if not the wording.
Feh.
People suck
Delicious typography. A super-soft, Tri-Blend t-shirt in espresso brown from American Apparel, printed with everyone's favorite logogram (set in Knockout). Peanut butter? Mustard? Fluff? Jelly? Either way, we think the ampersand is a ligature for eat and not et.
My temperature is very important, but I need covers no matter how hot it is. Even if I have them just near my face and off the rest of my body
Me too. It's because of the vampires, you know. They can't get you if your neck is covered.
You can't imagine his basic youthful allergy to clothes. Which persisted for a while into his acting career. But onstage at the comedy club the standups would place bets on how long it would take him to shed his clothes.
whimper I can't not think about it! Why do you torment me?
Top and bottom?
Yep. It's even worse with a mattress pad. I bought a foam mattress topper, and it's lovely, but by morning it's almost a third of the way off the bed. Someday I'ma get a camcorder just to video myself at night and see what the hell it is I do in my sleep. Possibly the Macarena.

Fuckers.
A local artist made a felted Xmas tree for charity. It's amazing and the detail is mindboggling: [link] [link]
That's awful. Dumb NY Senate.
Homemade lightning!
WANT!! Jilli, think of the Fourth of July party!
I had a texting cuss off earlier. I used "goat fucker."
Dear lord, the Brooklyn real estate site I read just had the mother of all Godwins: [link]
What's going on in Chicago:
Chicago canal to be poisoned to kill invasive carp
Tonight, federal and Illinois officials will begin poisoning a section of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal in the hope of killing the invasive carp that may have moved north of an electric barrier designed to keep them out of Lake Michigan.
...
Should carp reach the lake, scientists fear the voracious fish could wipe out native species by hoarding available food sources.
They've got a similar issue in Northern California where non-native trout that were introduced into certain mountain lakes have been fucking up the ecosystem. So they're thinking about poisoning the trout. Kind of an ecological reset button, but "poisoning the lake" just doesn't sound good.
But still, "invasive carp" sounds more lame than "invasive trout."
