Went out for burgers with B & A, my leaf-raking buddies & got all caught up. Resolved: after the holidays, we WILL go out for a weekend at B's family's beach house in Delaware. And schedule a couple weekends this late spring to finally do our porch floors.

Also, Devi is in a Mood. She's resumed stalking Pumpkin. They knocked over the damned floor lamp.

Glad to hear Darby's surgery went well!

What presents did you get, Jesse?

I managed to go back to Barnes and Noble and purchase the things I was unable to last night (when I forgot my wallet). Yay presents for mom and roomie!

Yay Darby!

I have every intention of winning the lottery tonight. So I won't have to go to work on Thursday (tomorrow's work will be fine, but Thursday I'm going to a place where people are annoying and useless and frustrating)

Beach house in Delaware sounds awesome!

That is good news!

For the record, the Dizz's espresso rubbed havarti and bacon burger is reaaaally good. And was just the right size.

The Dizz is very magical at xmas time with the lights!

It is so pretty. We sat in the front window at the bar and I kept getting distracted by the shiny!

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

Gawker is reporting that a frat passed around a questionnaire with the entry "If you could rape anyone who would it be?". Some posters are equating that question to FCM.

Hey, there's nothing like losing perspective to bolster support for your objection. Nothing like it.

Eek. Though I have to say, I saw several friends post that "Shit Girls Say" you tube, and I am really kind of annoyed. Mostly because a friend tried to talk me out of believing it's really offensive and sexist. Except it IS!! If a white person got dressed up in blackface and did a "Shit Black People Say", or a Christian got somehow dressed up as a Jew and did "Shit Jewish People Say", most reasonable people would, I think, agree it's awful. So why is a man getting dressed up as a woman and making fun of "girls" OK?

Aha! They're not talking about FCM. They're talking about fuck/kill/marry. Because you're fantasizing about killing someone.

The person who said so admitted they hadn't played it, and maybe I'm interpreting the game wrong, but are people really fantasizing about murder?

I don't know from Shit Girls Say. I'm scared to look.

I've linked yoisthatracist twice now on Gawker, and it's gotten pretty funny responses. However, it keeps coming up that people should have asked themselves that question, so life is really sad.

Because books.

This. Although I did some people on my Twitter list posting stuff like Dorothy Parker quotes with the hashtag #shitgirlssay, in reaction, I guess.
