It can be hard to spot satire these days.
Indeed. Reality is just too absurd.
Simon: Captain's a good fighter, he must know how to handle a sword. Zoe: I think he knows which end to hold.

Natter 69: Practically names itself.
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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I know I'm giving ad revenue to people whose pockets I shouldn't line, but I'm obsessed with chacha.com. I mean, it's such a bad idea. I like search engines, but I think it's creepy to have advice engines. Gizmodo reported it because it gave narrow-minded hateful answers, but it seems to have leavened it out.
But I think we're far away from needing an "app" to answer "are black people better than white people?" And from being able to have an app answer it, because it's just people typing in the answer, and the tech is just interpreting the questions.
It's not even as sensible as Yahoo Answers, where you get to read a bunch of different answers (often lame), but at least you can put some sort of identity to the people answering, and you can look at their track record.
I'm currently asking Chacha if I should consider an abortion, and it's in a loop of not answering me. Just like it wouldn't tell me what love was.
However, I know now that abortions are bad, you know, for some people. I rephrased my question, and lo:
To me abortion is a very bad act. It is the killing of a tiny human being. Some people feel that it is okay though. ChaCha again!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Going to see this: [link] tonight with my friend H. Only drawback is that we got our tix months ago and it is the night the DH gets back from his trip to Chicago. I would rather he not come back to en empty house, but, hey, culture calls.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Suzi!
The turn signal saga continues. I got a call yesterday that the part was in, so I went to the auto parts place after work today. Turns out they ordered the wrong part(passenger's side turn signal instead of driver's side). So they will return that part and order the correct part. There's a shipping fee that is non-refundable, so I ended up paying more because they messed up.

Thrive to spite them
you shouldn't have to pay extra shipping for their mistake.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, that's ridiculous.

I am now asking chacha all sorts of important life questions. I should not have an abortion, but sex can be relaxing as long as I'm protected. Human meat is apparently tasty, but dangerous to eat. Also it isn't suggested that I sleep with my brother.
This kept me sane through many a conference call.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ooh, ask it if I should go to the general store or if I should make dinner with the bread I already have?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why is human meat dangerous to eat?
