Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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.
Burrell, are you enjoying Stiff ?
I think my problem is I want Noah to go to Catholic school but not have any of the forced BS of non-actual-doctrine dogma that the Catholics force on people.
I don't care about whether or not he is an atheist. He'll believe what he believes. But I DO care that he knows the biblical stories, not necessarily that he believes them.
Burrell, I think most violence on TV is less insidious than rape is, so I don't mind it as much. But when you get to torture or abuse, I also get tetchy. Those are a whole different kettle of fish.
I'm setting off for Vegas and TAM tomorrow which should be...ugly. I think. I'm unsure. I'm completely stoked about meeting Phil Plait and Neil Grasse Tyson, though. I've never been to Vegas.
I was sitting in a cafe outside Vegas when you called me and asked me why I was late getting into LA. It's my only clear Vegas memory from the drive across the country.
Uh, completely unrelated to anything relevant. Just came to mind.
It was a cool cafe.
Yay msbelle!
Can we declare a moratorium on rape in popular media?
Yes, please.
Oh, and the sexual harassment stuff was my only problem with Horrible Bosses -- lol, rape is funny when it's a hot lady perpetrator.
Also, yay for day 2, msbelle.
Allyson, have fun in Vegas.
My appointment with the ABA therapist? She's 30 minutes late. She called 15 minutes ago to tell me she was late leaving. Um. okay. No yoga for me.
16 pound baby born in Texas.
Holy shit. That's more than my 6-month old weighs now.

That's entirely my hangup with seeing it. Although it's probably less than 1/3 of the movie, I just am tired of my entertainment dollars going in that direction.
In watching the rape on True Blood I was appalled. Not in how it was filmed--it was clearly non con. But at the thought of the responses. And sure enough, I read stuff like "But surely he'd have been into that." "What? Rape." "No, sex with multiple women." Oh, you meant gang rape. Much better. Good god, he clearly didn't want to have sex with the one and he'd been dating her, why would the others be any better? And then the showrunner called it his comeuppance for previous casual sex. Good GOD indeed.
