The Mayor ,'End of Days'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
OH MAN. It's raining and I am sitting in a room of quiet kids working on this essay: "How do both 'A Rose for Emily' and 'A Good Man is Hard to Find' offer social critiques? How does each story also deliver a deeper message?"
It's really lovely when they are quiet.
I don't associate either of those stories with social critiques.
I'd fail this essay.
Today we were allowed to wear team jerseys and no one told me! I could have been in my completely hideous Reggae Boyz soccer jersey. But I think it's a migraine trigger. Or I could have worn my cricket jersey, but then all the Indian guys would realise I supported a really sucky team.

Really? The grandmother in A Good Man is Hard to Find is a great example of someone who wants to appear like a "good Christian" despite not actually acting like one. Pretty salient these days.
I definitely love visiting DC. Every now and then I get to fly up for work.
and yet, you don't call. hmmmmm.

har. who do you support?
OK, you know this is the weather report all the newscasters wish they could give: [link]
Personally, my favorite part isn't the yelling, it is the "oh boy."
and yet, you don't call. hmmmmm.
I know, I know. Usually my manager collars me at 4:30 pm and says, "Hey, we need someone to attend that meeting in DC tomorrow." And I'm there and back in a little more than a full work day.
I need to squeeze an overnight or two out of the budget so I can meet up with DCistas.
who do you support?
The West Indies. Made extra-shameful by the fact that we used to be insanely good, and we were horribly smug about it. Now they exist to make us cry. And teach us that pride comes before a fall.
bon bon, I don't have paper towels or napkins in my house anymore. I don't have the microfiber cloths, but I have a bunch of Cost Plus cloth napkins and a few of the Meyer's sponge-like thin thingies.
Steve would use a papertowel to clean the counter (instead of a sponge) and the only way I could get him to stop was to have none on hand. I keep a roll in the garage for grease cleaning.
My main use for paper towels is for pressing tofu or draining fried things (bacon, etc).
