In other news, Dad is coming to visit on Thursday. Right now he's in Maine, a friend of his rents a cabin every year, and this year his wife didn't want to make the drive so Dad went with him.

I have a ton of stuff to do but I'm having a hard time getting motivated in the heat. I almost wish I had window a/c unit.

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.

Ooh, that's a good thought. Of course, I've gotten good outcomes on other topics (and there's no way for the site to know the topic)....

Online Tarot totally doesn't count, Jesse. Stop freaking yourself out. Go do online I Ching.

Heh.

java,

I don't think the rapist is supposed to pay in that scenario. I think we the audience are to see his actions as part of the times and what many women had to deal with.

Wasn't it only until the 1970s that a husband raping his wife was a crime? I saw an ABC movie about that in high school and I was aghast. Aghast!

I am now realising two dress-code related things: if we're not allowed to wear logos on our clothes, I'm probably not allowed to wear my superhero belt buckles, which is woefully disappointing. You have no idea how radical they are. So fucking cool. Also, for all the talk in the email about BUSINESS casual, long velvet skirt and heavy boots was not in the spirit of the law. Oops.

le nubian, right, no, I get that it's supposed to be a window into a different time. I just wonder if it will get revisited.

But...a shirt with a Pepsi logo is pimping Pepsi. But Green Lantern isn't real. (Much to Allyson's relief.) You're not actually pimping Green Lantern Corp. (Or Batman Inc.)

Silly dress code.

Are you literally not allowed to wear a Gucci belt? Or an Izod polo? That seems equivalent to me.

Mid-'70s. I remember some very heated arguments on the subject.

What about a Louis Vuitton purse?

This reminds me of my mom's dress code, where women could not where khaki's, but men were to wear "Dockers or Haggar pants". Which is sort of weird, because I think Haggar is a (sears?) store brand. She worked for a county department of Social Services.

They will make a charming as hell geeky trio.

That they will.

Huh. I mean, technically speaking you are totally right, but somehow in my head there's a difference between a bat belt buckle and the word "juicy" written in glitter across your chest.
