I was really appalled at ESPN. I just could not believe that shit. WTF were they thinking.
I didn't think it could get worse than NY Post's "AMASIAN", and yet ESPN reached rock bottom and kept digging.
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

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.

Art Crawl!!!
What did ESPN do?
I gather it was a Lin related atrocity.
Had a caffeine headache and an achey back. Went to liedown and do my back exercises (which I did) and then napped. Headache is gone but back is still sore.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
What did ESPN do?
Used the headline Chink in the Armour wrt Lin and apparently said it on the air as well. The writer of the headline was fired and the announcer was suspended for 30 days. It was also repeated on their radio station, but apparently the person who said it was not an employee of ESPN. link

Wow. That is really astoundingly stupid and insulting.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Um, remember when I was moving and couldn't find Dita for a bit and was kind of flipping out even though I knew she had to be somewhere?
I let Zed cat out to explore the house on his own, and left him alone just for a bit, and now I can't find him, and to make matters worse when I was in the garage, I heard a cat meowing rather piteously. All the exterior doors and windows were shut so there is no way he should have been able to get out, and yet, I seem to have lost him, even after opening all of the cupboards and cabinets.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh no! Zed, reveal yourself and stop worrying Lee!
Also? In all the naming, I forgot to mention that Zed could be short for Zeddmore, Ed from the Ghostfacers, who was named after Winston from Ghostbusters. I like Zed.
Now, appear, Zed!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Behind the washer and dryer, or other furniture in the house? Under the steps down from the kitchen (I forget if you have them,actually, but that's a spot my cats hide)?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
ita, your mom is a total badass. I just hope she's OK with me saying that, because ...well... she's a badass.
And oh, my lack of sleep is hitting me now. I did get a bunch of grading done, and 4 loads of laundry and 3 loads of dishes, so not too bad. I want to nap now, but I need to clean up the front rooms a bit and start up a red sauce. We're having friends over for dinner.

Oh yeah, hiding place for Zed: under some odd piece of furniture, like a couch or a dresser? Our cat Folly loves hiding under furniture, and I notice that I often forget the non-bed items. Washer/dryer is another good guess. Poor Zed!
