I guess once a man gets that urge, he's screwed.

Or someone is anyway.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I work for an association for the design and construction industry and last week I had an entire meeting laughing by pointing out that we're one of the few groups that can use the word "erection" on its website and maintain our family-friendly rating.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's a nice thing to do, ita.

He's at Comic Con every year for his birthday, never at home. So I figured, John's probably there too, I should give him a heads up, right? It's not like I planned ahead enough to be there myself. The Wil part is gravy. They will make a charming as hell geeky trio.

I am so glad Colin was at that party with Rogers before we were scheduled to hang out with our other Montreal John friend. Rogers was very easy to reconnect with after 20 years, and I'm glad to have re-established a face to face connection with him.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It makes you wonder what her history was, sadly. Not that it's any excuse, but she sounds ... brainwashed. Jesus.

I don't understand why, if you believe in this mysterious "something", the man just can't go somewhere and masturbate.

Look, if you people can't take the heartbreak of blue balls seriously I don't know what to tell you.

OMG, someone just called female on male rape (where the woman is riding the man, not penetrating him) not "real" rape--more like a "forced massage". Jesus. So all the time I've been having sex with guys, they've just been getting rubdowns? How...distant.

Doesn't count if you don't get poked!

Sure, its like how being poked is what makes you gay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In completely other news, can someone remind me I don't believe in Tarot, and especially not online Tarot? Twice recently I've done a spread about my work situation, and every card seems right on, and then the "outcome" card is TERRIBLE, and I'm scared.

I'd bet terrible outcomes generate more return visits. If that is so, it is in their hit generating interest for you to get them.

Online Tarot totally doesn't count, Jesse. Stop freaking yourself out. Go do online I Ching. I think there's a rule against I Ching being scary.

Our wings are not tired.

I thought it interesting the way Mad Men handled rape. The perpetrator never really got a "comeuppance" but I think that was the point? The fact that the victim loathed every single thing about the rape but went on to create a life with the perp anyway. Like she was expected to. And there's a kindness that is part of their relationship, too, which, I dunno. I hope that plot is further developed next season, because I am still waiting for the rapist to have to pay.
