Mantle!
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I have to laugh at forgetting about "mantel" since I do that all of the time.
Also, once, while writing an exceptionally long term paper in HS, I forgot how to spell "the". I clearly remember sitting there, saying the word out loud, and being scrunchy-faced thinky about it and pronouncing it over and over and and wondering what could *possibly* be written down to reflect a "the" sound.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, this is weird/not-weird. Jezebel and Gawker have both covered this video as if it's a tale of diva bitchery, when if you watch it, it's not. It's a tale of divas talking about each other, sometimes well, and sometimes badly. The Jez commenter reaction was "why are you characterising it so badly?" and the Gawker was "dem bitches bad, man!" I get it that Denton's in it for pageviews, but I'm a little creeped out by the Gawker commenters.

Oh Jilli, do you know about antique dolls?
I know hardly anything about them. Bev is the person who knows a lot about dolls, and I love talking to her about about them.
I love the doll houses, I really do. But I don't know enough about them to know what's worth what. But I put a couple of them on display on the den because what's the point of having a doll house if you don't play with it?
Exactly! If there is a doll house, it must be played with!
My Monday woe: the stress-triggered eczema flared up overnight. I am currently trying not to claw open the back of my neck.

Javachik, I've had the EXACT same thing happen to me. Probably because I was up at 4AM trying to finish a paper.

Always Anti-fascist!
I'd say that's generally a safe response, ita.(Not that I've been to either site much since their ugly redesign.)

Cass, I am super impressed! I have done very little, though several of the things you mention, I need to do. I printed a couple things, and talked to my boss for half an hour.
Currently, I am about to double-check on something being wrong still, before I send the "Why is this WRONG?!" angry email.

Pretty sure it was a 4am thing for me, too. Ha!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I still have to do my final project which is due on Wednesday at 6 pm. All I've done so far is gather resources, but none of the writing is accomplished. I'm taking off of work early both today and tomorrow (but only two hours early, since I have things to do here, too) so I can go home and start cranking it out.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Have any of you ever seen the phrase, "much to do about nothing?"
The writer means "much ado" like shakespeare, right?
