Willow ,'Never Leave Me'
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.
Got laundry started. Am short quarters. And pronouns.
Pulled a seven-letter word out of my hat second turn in new scrabble game against sister. Not as far ahead as you'd think, considering I hit two double word scores. I hate her. I need to regain some confidence so I don't feel compelled to whine about it.
That was a weird run of commercials featuring white guys in their underwear.
I'm sensing a disturbing "pantsless" theme in the commercials.
Y'all, I had to watch both of them in High Def! MY RETINAS!
The Doritos dog collar one is my fav so far. Not talking about the game though.
eta: yes the underwear in riduc large HD was a bit much
Huh. So it turns out the Superbowl is on the one network I can't get in our new digital world. I'm not invested in either team, but I was going to watch.
I just got home from a run-thru of the play I'll be spending the next two weeks with. It felt like a Pinter treatment of a Sam Shepard play.
HELL YEAH
Loki + snow = funneh
It felt like a Pinter treatment of a Sam Shepard play.
So then, straightforward, obvious and simplistic?

Interesting article:
Blame the childish, ignorant American public—not politicians—for our political and economic crisis.
In trying to explain why our political paralysis seems to have gotten so much worse over the past year, analysts have rounded up a plausible collection of reasons including: President Obama's tactical missteps, the obstinacy of congressional Republicans, rising partisanship in Washington, the blustering idiocracy of the cable-news stations, and the Senate filibuster, which has devolved into a super-majority threshold for any important legislation. These are all large factors, to be sure, but that list neglects what may be the biggest culprit in our current predicament: the childishness, ignorance, and growing incoherence of the public at large.
The whole thing is interesting. Here's the conclusion:
Our inability to address long-term challenges makes a strong case that the United States now faces an era of historical decline. Our reluctance to recognize economic choices also portends negative effects for the rest of the world. To change this story line, we need to stop blaming the rascals we elect to office and start looking to ourselves.
