I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I went running this morning and it was cool and VERY MUDDY and then my sister got some hitch in her breathing and we had to walk the rest of the way.

And then I talked to my niece on the phone and now I'm going to do some baking, really. Because while it may be boiling in the rest of the country, it's still grey and cool here.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

P-C,

Looking forward to seeing you, too. Sounds like we've got a bunch of fun stuff in mind while we're there.

Dear Claudia,

Identity theft is not an effective method of endearing yourself to others.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Hec, over a year ago, I left my FB status page up and Owen found the mother of his best friend on my friend list--he promptly recorded a video message to her about how Kaleb should come over to our house and how much fun they would have.

I know a lot of adults who do not know how to record video on FB.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yeah, her sister told her to go jump in an acid rain lake.

It actually turned out to be very funny exchange of sisterly invective.

My warning came too late!

Hey, you know what's entertaining? Adventure Time! Whoa, it's good and utterly bent.

Yeah, I was suspicious after I saw the pilot that they couldn't sustain that sort of thing, but now I'm sad that I haven't been watching it all along. So warm and cuddly and postapocalypty and completely subversive at the same time.

Me too! I just watched the episode where Finn and Jake decide to fight evil non-violently which causes nothing but trouble.

Jilli! It has vampires, and they're bitey.

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

I've just been poking around LinkedIn, and making the assumption that people started their Bachelor's around age 18, I'm older than my former boss, and the same age as my current one. It's quite weird.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hey ita, do you know anything about tearing down the houses in Detroit? DH just mentioned that it's been going on for a while. A way to fight urban blight I guess?

I don't know if this is related, but there's a movement to shrink the size of Detroit's footprint so that it can have tight, but workable/vital urban core. So they're tearing stuff down.
