Timelies all!

I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Oy, this is upsetting. Michelle Shocked was playing at Yoshi's in SF last night, and she went on a homophobic rant in the second set. Much of the crowd walked out.

Same with me, Sophia. People tell me that it's just giving the government an interest-free loan, but the interest I'd earn on it these days is so small that if I forgot to put it aside a single pay period (and knowing myself I'd forget a lot more than one) I'd have less saved up at the end of the year. With it set up as witholding I can't forget to put the money aside and spend it on a new frying pan or DVD purchase..
Yeah, I'm actually okay with that deal. And very happy I don't have to deal with 1099s or estimated payments.
meara gone, sad now. Except I spent most of the day on the beach with a beer in one hand, kindle in the other, and a dog sleeping on my foot. So that helped.

I don't know who Michelle Shocked is, but good on the crowd for walking out. Yoshi's also shut down her mic and offered refunds.
K-Bug turns 23 next week (!!!!!) and wants a big family dinner. So I'm back in the position of trying to pick a restaurant KCD will go to that isn't Applebee's or MacDonalds. Grrrrrrrrr.

I don't know who Michelle Shocked is
She had a minor hit about twenty years ago with a song called "Anchorage" (about getting back in touch with an old friend who'd moved to Alaska), and has a number of rather excellent albums of the folk/rock/punk variety. I've always really liked her, she's a great song-writer, and it's a real shame she's gone off the deep end with the homophobia.

Thrive to spite them
I had her Arkansas Traveler cd and really liked it. It looks like she's now part of a Pentecostal Church, and they are traditionally anti gay and very conservative.
People you can be born again and not a bigot! Find a better church!!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think I've thought about Michelle Shocked since Montreal. And that's not how I thought I'd think of her...
So, so far I've written one instruction document and one presentation, but also researched a second presentation which I need to write today, so I can present them both tomorrow. And edited a third. And that's drag-myself-in-tomorrow-on-bloody-stumps sort of a must.
So I'm barred from the ERs that would honour my doctor's orders, and the coordinating nurse thinks early home admin is unlikely (neuro is out of town). I need to call her back in 20, and I haven't even had lunch yet.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yeah, I read that about Michelle Shocked. What the hell, lady.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yeah, I read that about Michelle Shocked. What the hell, lady.
She got born again and came back worse.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That's so disappointing of Michelle Shocked.
