Mine too. I have Sunday Ticket, though...
Eta: Meachem just scored! And clinching the division title is pretty sweet, whatever else happens.
I fell down and got confused. Willow fixed me. She's gay.

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

Now tagless for your comfort.
Owen's been begging to see Planet 51 so we decided to go to a matinee. I paid $18 for three tickets and $16 for popcorn and drinks. As we walked towards the theatre, Owen saw something on a poster that caused him to refuse to go in. I pleaded with him for 10 minutes to go in and see the film. Liv started crying, begging to go IN to see the movie. Owen was crying begging to go back home and NOT see the movie. I dumped the popcorn and drinks in the garbage and dragged them both out of the theatre.
This day has sucked with a capital suck.

Gah, Cashmere, you so don't need that today. I'm sorry.
Saints game into overtime.

On the bright side, I've been spared from a mediocre, animated movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ugh, Cashmere. Rotten day on multiple fronts. No idea what Owen saw that turned him off? I don't suppose it really matters.

No clue. I tried asking him. His quirks are usually VERY small and strange. He's calmer now. We're eating grapes and watching Spongebob. Spongebob is very good for mindlessly relaxing.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Six years after the Episcopal Church exploded in dissension over the election of the nation's first actively gay bishop, The Rev. V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire, the Diocese of Los Angeles has elected a second.
Is the word they want "openly" and not "actively" because those words? Do not mean the same thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think there's been stuff (and I'm not sure specifically about the Episcopals) that you could be openly gay if you were celibate -- hating the sin, etc.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I found this really interesting - maybe a few people here will also....
Impotent futurism: the design of Allende's cyber-utopian boondoggle
Greg Borenstein sez, "This is a video version of a paper I delivered with Jem Axelrod at the 2009 PAMLA Conference about Project Cybersyn, an early 70s socialist pseudo-internet built by British cyberneticist Stafford Beer in Chile. The video explores how Beer's writing, infographics, and industrial design worked together to create a science fictional narrative of omniscience and ominpotence for Salvador Allende's socialist government."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Does cyborg Salvadore Allende get killed by a cyborg Henry Kissinger?
