Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I need, today, if you can find it, pix of: Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, Rudy Guiliani, Rick Santorum, GHW Bush, Dan Quayle, Walter Mondale and.or Nelson Rockefeller drinking booze.

I'm pretty certain that no such pictures of Romney exist, since Mormons don't drink.

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 think the idea that pornography is adultery is an incredibly sheltered one

I will also say that, yes, it's sheltered. But, in what I've seen of the world, so is no sex until marriage.

So I see it is sheltered and unlikely but I can accept it is what some people put value into as well.

So I followed one of ita's t shirt links this morning and now I have been kicked off my workstation for a malware infestation. Teefury is bad, apparently...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Weather is weird again. 70 F after Thanksgiving? When it was in the 50s last week? I just don't know...

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

But, in what I've seen of the world, so is no sex until marriage.

However, I think no sex until marriage is okay as long as it's really only your penis or vagina it's important about. Porn as adultery is usually about someone else's "sex" life. But, if it's about your relationship, and it's a shared understanding, it's all good. It's when it's leveraged against an unwilling external party that I get pissy.

I wish I'd had lunch.

I wish my lien release had actually needed to be a lien release. Because then it would be resolved in 2-3 days, instead of the projected 2-3 weeks.

Seriously? That's wack, man.

Well, the teefury page never loaded and I had to use the task manager to close IE, and then Outlook stopped working...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Thanks all. I was just surprised by it and wondered if they had gone and changed the definition of infidelity on me. Glad to see that it was a case of student kinda right, me kinda right.

I hadn't thought of it from exactly that perspective. I think the porn issue is, if we're honest, about the masturbation assumed to follow or accompany the porn. Or the intentional viewing of a nekkid person one isn't supposed to be wanting to look at. It's not that porn exists, it is the utilization. Orgasms all unsanctioned by the relationship or church or whatever.

I always want to ask those "pornography is horrible and demeans women!" people if man on man porn is similarly demeaning to women. I seem to get yelled at whenever I try it.

Baby ponies--so cute!

I'm home an hour early, but couldn't unload on my mom since she was at her home, decompressing after a busy day with a friend and a glass of wine.

I need wine.

So, to relax, I instead pulled out my camera and took pics of all my Christmas decor I arranged on Friday, and my cat who is currently curled up under the tree on the tree skirt that she apparently believes I bought specifically for her. It's the first time this tree has had a skirt since I got it, and she's loving the brocade. I just hope she doesn't discover the tassels, at least not as potential chew toys.
