You know, I really thought that once escrow on the house closed, the screw ups with the bank and the escrow officer and the real estate agent would stop, but NSM.
Dream on.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I liked her, and thought she could do better.
I really loved his performance/character in Forgetting Sara Marshall, and Geek Him To the Greek. So I'm fond of him.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I liked her, and thought she could do better. IIRC, she was raised by a really strict and devout religious family.
She's also someone who tweets about how much she's going to drink the upcoming weekend, while married to a recovering alcoholic. I suspect we just don't know either of them, really. But I've never heard anything more positive about her than her naming her cat something punny and self-centred. It's always been about her being a lame-assed gay "icon" with more stereotypical stupid stuff about gays in her music.
Yeah, I need to get off Gawker, obviously.

Our wings are not tired.
Real estate transactions have always been stressful and never according to plan in my experience. But have always worked out in the end.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I suspect we just don't know either of them, really.
I didn't know any of that. But yeah, we don't really know any of these people.
And I'm fine with that, really.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
When are you moving, Perkins?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So Emmett's friend Jake hooked him up with his Netflix account on Emmett's iPad and now he's mainlining Breaking Bad. Which is better than trying to watch the entire run of That 70s Show, I guess. At least he'll be educated about meth labs.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It's a cautionary tale.

I've never seen the show, but having heard bits and pieces... I wonder if my childhood friend watches it. See, when he was in HS, he interned with the university chem department....and ended up manufacturing meth among other things with a grad student. Grad student got kicked out and jail time. C got probation and a guaranteed scholarship from the department if he kept his shit clean and told everything he knew. I think the former came after the latter.
