They couldn't get you for that - I have to believe that everyone who works at a bookstore does that. . .not that I would know or anything.

Sam Troughton who is playing Romeo in the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Romeo and Juliet (but maybe better known to some of us as "Much" from the most recent BBC Robin Hood) - has been injured during a matinee performance.

ION, something to amuse folks:
I went and got new fang caps yesterday. I am sitting here in bloomers, an Emilie Autumn shirt that says "Are You Suffering?" (it's a catchphrase of hers), no makeup, glasses, hair pulled back, and my fangs. Drinking coffee, because I need to darken them slightly, and Victor the Fangmaker reminded me that the best way to do that is to drink a couple of cups of coffee while wearing them. I am ridiculous, and this is probably why my friend Libby refers to me as "the ultimate in Stereotype Technology".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I remember getting dinged at work (but only in a review, not ever talked to about it) for wearing chambray pants when denim was not allowed.
Heh. I had to give a minion a Talking-To about her denim trousers semi-recently. But not in a review!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Damn, shopping for a new car with good fuel economy sucks. I just called a Honda dealership and asked about the Insight (a hybrid that's like a Prius, but cheaper). They didn't have any in stock and said they wouldn't get more for two or three months.
And most Ford dealerships near me are completely out of the Fiesta and the 2012 Focus.

Jilli,

tommyrot, be aware that if you buy a hybrid, your IMA battery will eventually lose efficiency and need replacing at a cost of $2K+. Signed, bought a 2004 hybrid and only has 150 mi left on the battery warranty.
Absolutely. It's less of an issue when it happens to men, and that it's cool as tit for tat, or as "reparation" for violent crimes. NO. Bad thing. Always bad thing.
My issues with Veronica Mars s3, let me show you them. I'm supposed to believe that a sexual assault support group sexually assaulted a guy, because they thought him guilty of rape? No. Also, the number of prison rape jokes on that show were really disturbing.

God, I hated that. Such a foul strawmanning of feminism, because they had to make it clear that Veronica wasn't actually a feminist, because "real" feminists do shit like that.

Our wings are not tired.
Years ago, I got into a GIANT fight on another forum after calling someone out for making a prison rape comment (about a "don't reach for the soap" comment). My head still aches from it.

Yes, exactly!!!!
I just posted a picture of Jilli in an argument. Had to defend girliness.
Wow, ita, I commend you on your patience with that discussion. I think I sprained my eyeballs reading it. Of course, maybe they're just young? I was super anti-girly until I had it pointed out to me that that attitude was buying into a culture that devalues the feminine.
