Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Good luck Jen!
I was pretty old before I realized that freezing was not the only possible reaction to bees. I was never overly afraid of them, but somehow got convinced that I would accidentally flail into one's way, and that's when I would get stung. So, freeze.
Last time there were bees in the garden, I gave one a pat. Just once, very lightly. He was too busy doing his bee thing with the flowers to care. He was soft and fuzzy!!!

Would you use this payment tool?
No. But I used Square to sell concert tickets from my Android phone and that side of it worked like a dream.

That's pretty much a given for medical shows, isn't it? I mean, they're never going to get it right, and eventually they're going to hit something close to home.
I stopped watching Keith Olberman's Countdown when he started talking about his father's slow death. It had been a year since I'd watched my own father die, and I just wasn't up to reliving the experience along with my nightly news.

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

Why? I haven't seen any objections to it that stood up to examination.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Wow, I forgot how fast this thread moves. Anyhow, since I can't stop the boys in the government from playing with their toys... Well, my MLIS program is for two years. After it, nothing that keeps me here.
I love this place. It's home, for better or worse. But almost nothing but insanity, hatred and fear are driving it.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
I use the Square card reader to take credit cards at the flea market, but that auto-pay service does not appeal.
I spent the morning texting back and forth with Mr. Flowersocks. Apparently he used to dress like a Teddy boy. I may have to encourage him to start again.

Yay MLIS program!!! I'm halfway through mine, but since I'm taking mine one class at a time, it'll be four years all told before I'm done, hopefully by the end of 2013. Ours only requires 12 classes in total, so some of the full-timers are pushing it and trying to finish in 12 months (4 classes per semester).
