Every time I see him, I do a little AtS cheer.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It's not morbid or weird to me. You knew him, you loved him. And you honored that.
What I wanted to say and couldn't express. You loved him.
I agree, but I wonder how/when this developed. I've definitely seen characters in Victorian novels referring to young children as "it" with no one questioning it -- I think it was Wuthering Heights where I noticed it constantly, but I've definitely seen it in other books from that period, too.
I've heard older folks do this a lot. My grandmother often referred to me as "it", often in my presence, until I was maybe 12 years old. I think she thought she was being affectionate.

If I can't guess/remember the sex of a baby, I'll generally just avoid pronouns altogether until someone tells me the baby's name. ("How is your little one?" etc)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
If it's anything in either direction, I saw a clip of a fight scene with the female lead, and she was absolutely awful.
Okay, now I will just trawl YouTube for footage. Thank you for validating my desire to stay the hell away.

ION, Dylan wants a pogo stick for Hannukah. This should be fun.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It's directed by Brad Bird, of all people.

He did good spy stuff with The Incredibles.
All the Pixar guys seem to branching out now. Stanton is doing the John Carter movie.
Who's doing an Advent Caledar this year? We just started our Playmobil calendar last night and Matilda is jazzed about it.

Trust my rage
We are doing a calendar. It's the same one my mom made for me when I was about Ellie's age so I really enjoy it.

That's cool. I have frequently fantasized about making a wood Advent calendar with small, craftsy ornaments inside. But I don't start thinking about it until it's almost xmas and after xmas is over I stop thinking about it. So it never happens.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
They sell those ... for, like, $100.
