Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
OMG, the hallway smell totally overwhelmed the coffee. I don't even. I guess I'll try with fresher grounds tomorrow.
Speaking of smelling, today's tea is oolong and ripe mango. And the mango? totally smells ripe.
Air cleaner is running. I hope it has effect.
Hello, everyone. Back after a 3 year hiatus and posting to short circuit the performance anxiety.
Totally relate to the extrovert hermit/social agoraphobe ... haven't left the house since Monday except to walk on the beach in the 30 mph wind yesterday. I was all by myself.
Nice to see so many familiar uh ... names.
pretty sure i might be the first recorded case of someone actually dying of boredom. uuuuuugh.
Hello, Susan!
I almost died of boredom the other day, but I pulled through, and you can too!
Wow. I just picked up a manuscript to edit in which the author put a hard return at the end of EVERY LINE.
FOR 35 PAGES.
It wouldn't be horrible to fix on our end, except it's hard to know when a new paragraph begins, seeing as how the author also didn't bother to indent new paragraphs or even put an extra line in between paragraphs. So it's a monolithic block of flush-left text. FOR 35 PAGES.
I asked my boss to send it back to the author with a request to format it properly.
God DAMN.
Possibly the author was writing it from 1950, but I feel sure that, even then, they INDENTED THEIR PARAGRAPHS.
Did they think they were sending as a telegram, Tep? That sounds just infuriating.
Awesome photo sets from the roller derby national tournament in Chicago.
Hee! Great shot of my friend Flo Shizzle's shiny gold ass!!!
That was actually her last derby bout. She's retiring.
Man dresses depressed Holocaust-survivor grandma as superhero, cheers her up
James sez, "Sacha Goldberger found his 91-year-old Hungarian grandmother Frederika, a WWII survivor, feeling lonely and depressed. To cheer her up, he photographed her dressed up as a fictional superhero. To his surprise, she loved it. The photos are a bit comical, but there's an underlying sense of hope, strength and courage in them."

Love the one with her in bed with Superman! And the ones with a dog in a cape.
My nephew is six, and he wants a video camera for xmas. He takes ridiculously good care of his things, so I'm not worried about him being careless with it, I just know nothing of camcorders. Any ideas? I was looking at this one, which seems rugged enough. It's just got to be simple for him to use.
He's going to be a big time movie director, apparently. Good thing Auntie knows a couple of people in da biz.
