'Heart Of Gold'
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.
Hood cred! Hood cred! Can you believe it? She's trying to explain to people *why* she's earned the right to tell black people how to live, because she has some undefined HOOD cred. I despair that I have to accept that people are so stupid. And I'm appalled that she's raising a biracial kid with such blatant issues
Ugh. No. Just...no. I can't read it, I've had enough racefail for the week (I went back in time to revisit the whole Slut Walk/N-Word debacle the other day.)
Lately I've been depressed that there's too many idiots in the world, and the Stupid is winning.
ION, here are some pretty pictures of David Bowie: [link]
Outtakes from the Heroes photo-shoot.
Watching The Wizard of Oz for the first time with the kids and near the end Owen said, "All this just for shoes?" He has so much to learn about women.
OK, will catch up on the 100 messages in a bit, but first:
Hot chocolate laced with marshmallow vodka is awesome. Firepits are are awesome. Meeting new people via my cardiac ICU nurse/bartender neighbor is awesome. Having this all be just at the end of the block? REALLY AWESOME. AND one of the women I met is looking for a job and I know we have some internal postings likely to go external in the new year, so wrote down the info for her. AWESOME.
I don't know if it is the sugar, chocolate or vodka which has gone to my head. Coming home to a clean house, also awesome. Less awesome? I have to get up early to make ~120 goddamned cookies. WTF?
Hot chocolate laced with marshmallow vodka is awesome
Ohh, Dan and I made WTF faces at each other when we saw those vodka advertised, then he said "Maybe in hot cocoa?"
I am totally trying that out!
I'm so jealous of sarameg's awesome neighbors!!
Though I have a pretty awesome roommate right now--we got up, she bought lunchfoods, and I got coffee, and we drove to Mount Rainier, and hiked around, and ate lunch, and hiked some more, and drove back towards home, and stopped at the Melting Pot and ate cheese and chocolate, and now I am done.
reassure myself [or find out it's all a big lie anyway, and nothing is as clean as I think it is],
There's a reason I don' t read things like that "no one cleans their contacts right!" story that was floating around facebook. I don't want to know!!!
"All this just for shoes?"
Magic shoes.
I have no street cred. I have no hood cred. What I do have is enough sense to know that any list of Things X Group of People Do has high insult potential.
The little kids are gone for the night. The big kids are also gone (CJ at KCD's, K-Bug at a party, then from party to work at 1am). I have the house to myself. Wish I had some marshmallow vodka...I have cocoa.

I have not tried it, but I did try the whipped cream vodka, which was startlingly good in some OJ.
If someone hasn't already coined the word "whitesplaining" they can now use the hair lady as an example.
