Ugh, we're supposed to get severe thunderstorms overnight, possibility of tornadoes. This makes me nervous. Need to make sure we have our radio, flashlight, keys, & shoes handy in case we need to head for the basement (it's got an outside entrance) in the middle of the night.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Because books.
S. is so happy. He's more of a Jets fan, but he loves the Giants, too, and he's thrilled to have a team he can really root for in the Superbowl.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
OTOH, I now have absolutely no interest in this year's Superbowl. I'll watch, but it won't be the same.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I was busy trying out for the roller derby's A team tonight so I didn't catch much football. The season ends up here when the Packers lose, though.

Well, I just got back from a lovely half-weekend in Balto., wherein I got there, went to dinner with my friend and caught up on All The Things, then karaoke, late night/early am. diner, sleep, more food w/ add'l./DC friends, and then the game. So, you know, aside from the heartbreak of a stripped football and a missed field goal, it as a lovely weekend, and, though sad and a little deflated for the Ravens, was so great to be back in Balto.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I really liked Bend It Like Beckham. I thought it was a pretty accurate depiction of Indian culture. Predictably, my mom didn't like it because the girl ended up with a white dude.

Sorry for the pain, sarameg, but glad you went to urgent care. I was concerned. Eye shit makes me go on high alert. For no reason I can discern; it just does. Here's to fast healing.
Minor drama + snow on Fri/early Sat. condensed what was supposed to be a leisurely, relaxing weekend in MD into a whirlwind, ending in heartbreak. I'm kind of wiped after the drive home, yo.

Oh, my gosh; I caught up mostly on phone earlier and did not post...
Welcome to the world Samuel!!! Congratulations, Stephanie.

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

I don't know particularly much about the Indian cultures, but it really rang true for me as an immigrant experience. Universal foreign truths, and all that.
Predictably, my mom didn't like it because the girl ended up with a white dude.
Tell her the original version had the girl ending up with a white girl. She should count her blessings.

! Was it really originally a lesbian romance? That makes so much sense, and yet it wouldn't have been nearly as popular, I fear. Certainly it wouldn't have gotten the marketing it did...
