I suggest that CNET wrote that article to tell Anonymous to stop fucking shit up.

I'm going to call this theory: the Tommyrot Backdoor.

Cash, did you see this?

The DSM is being rewritten and there's a push to eliminate Asperger's from the definition of Autism.

Which would inevitably lead to a reduction of services for high-functioning kids.

I didn't see this until I noticed it on Yahoo News--a local high school board is refusing to allow Cougars as the school mascot because, I swear to God, it's "offensive to middle-aged women."

My high school mascot was a cougar.

The NY Times article about autism really bothered me -- it's an article about how the change will affect autistic people, but they didn't quote a single autistic person in the article. Quoted one mother of an adult with autism, but nothing from the people actually affected.

Good lord. I have a pretty radically low tolerance for smoke (pretty insta-headache), but TobaccoFreeCA (or something like that) just aired an ad that has a woman smoking on her balcony, and then the smoke went up one floor, in through the window, through the living room (ignoring the kid on the couch) to sneak into the baby's room and hover over its wide-eyed little face. Seriously? Malevolent smoke is hunting innocent American babies now? Turning left instead of right? I mean, at least give us in-building ventilation contamination, or something.

But I worry rational advertising doesn't work, that's why they don't do it.

Is msbelle around to yell at me about packing? I need motivation.

One would think that the movers showing up at 10:00 tomorrow morning would be enough, but somehow NSM.

ita, you asked way back about a cleaner. We have someone who comes in and cleans twice a month. We are never here when it happens and she came on a rec from a coworker. I do not WANT to be here when someone cleans because weird for everyone. She does our floors, which is a big ass job (thanks, Noah's preschool, for having a fully sandbox play area) and then focuses on the kitchen and the bathroom.

For my coworker, she also does her laundry (LAUNDRY) and folds it etc. This is a big deal because she lives in the same building as the coworker and the laundry room is a drag.

(It also helps that he gets chore points for things like driving me everywhere and talking to strangers.)

I love, bon bon, that you see the chore nature of those things. Talking to strangers = a chore.

Lee, go pack! The new place awaits your stuff!

Wait, if you're moving tomorrow, does that mean we don't have Show?

threepeat:

if Buffy were real, she'd turn 31 today. Happy birthday, Buffy!
