Oh weird. I just clicked over here and got that old writers' strike sign on the front page.
'Lessons'
Natter 69: Practically names itself.
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.
Maybe you should learn to tap?
YOU GUYS. I just learned on twitter that Michael Raymond-James is going to be in a movie of One Shot, by Lee Child. So that's exciting, right? Because I love those books. But I clicked through to imdb, and see that TOM FUCKING CRUISE is playing JACK REACHER. WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK. Reacher's ginormous physical size and strength is one of his key attributes. I mean, seriously. WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK.
That totally wiped out the good feelings I had, coming home from John Waters's one-man Christmas show.
S. had apoplexy when he heard that Jesse. He loves those books and he loathes Tom Cruise. Plus, what you said.
Oh, and I got my mom this necklace from a local artist at the market. She's a favorite (and vice versa) of KW's (friend and neighbor) and so she gave me a huge discount. I haven't managed to take a good pic, but it is a diamond of blue glass set into silver that has a cutout of a heron in the silver backing. I saw it two weeks ago, and it just screamed MOM, but I had to think. And luckily, she decided to come to market and it hadn't sold. I have a clasp to add to it, knowing how my mom wears jewelry (this has a long chain meant to be wrapped scarf-like, but mom doesn't do that) so she gave me a clasp that we can attach when mom figures out the length she likes.
It's kinda like this [link] , but with an upright heron. Hope the link goes to the right spot.

I AM WITH S. Clearly. APOPLECTIC.
Jesse n TC 4ever!!!11!!
I had already decided The Rock would be OK as Reacher -- you could make the French mom Tahitian or something?
PS to msbelle: :P
I need to find a better shorthand for friend and neighbor. Cause the thing is, many of them are capital-F Friend first now. But also neighbors, which is a blessing. But to combine them seems like minimizing the friend part. Most of those I call neighbor are the people who would and have saved my ass and kissed my hurts. And some are just good neighbors I am happy to have, and who would help out in a pinch.
