    ::perk!:: B5 News?

    Thus spake JMS: The only things I can say right now about B5:TMoS is that now that all the correct agreements have been signed, sealed and delivered, the draft has gone in, met with great enthusiasm all around, notes have been received, and the next draft is in process and has to be delievered within two weeks so that certain other steps can be set into motion. I still can’t tell you what it *is* because that has to come from the proper people through the proper channels at the proper time…but I can tell you a few cases of…

    The Country Quiz

    Currently making its way around the blogosphere: the Country Quiz. Let’s see: You’re Thailand! Calmer and more staunchly independent than almost all those around you, you have a long history of rising above adversity. Recent adversity has led to questions about your sexual promiscuity and the threat of disease, but you still manage to attract a number of tourists and admirers.  And despite any setbacks, you can really cook a good meal whenever it’s called for. Good enough to make people cry. Take the Country Quiz at the Blue Pyramid Woo-hoo! I have a bit of a rep, but great…

    Clean Sweep

    Yeah, I like this show…I’ve been watching it for a while now. And slowly, gradually and imperceptibly, we’ve gradually gotten most of the house cleared out, cleaned up, and organized. The worst areas are now the hidden-from-public view areas: The Big Lair O’ Computers in the basement, and the garage (which isn’t that bad, just needs more shelving and a good cleaning out after the last frost, when I get the rain barrels set up again). And today when we get home, the house will be clean, because we signed up with a cleaning service – one we used several…

    Still Not Playing With A Full Deck

    That big desk in the Oval Office is just made for a big ol’ dirty game of cutthroat 2-handed spades… poor POTUS, so worried about everybody else’s sek-shul and po-litical bidness, and he’s still got nobody to play with (Cheney whoooo?? Vice President whaaaaa???). And even if he did, he still doesn’t have all the trump cards stuck to the underside of the desk with a half-chewed wad of Teaberry. (via the very manly PatriotBoy) ((dang, my family unit is unrecognizable under his amendment, too bad)) (((apron + pearls = Red Blooded American burqa: discuss)))

  • Childfreedom

    ::eyeroll maki::

    Why is it that women who are not childfree talk nonstop about pregnancy, babies, how many (theoretical) children they’ll have according to Chinese astrological birth year websites and what the gender of their (theoretical and impending) will be? They’re booking pencil tests right now for the two team members that are currently expecting (and they’ll believe the results, too. Credulous much?) It must be a hormone that I completely lack, thanks be to God.
