Don't get me started on milfs.
Warning, likely un-PC: I get that asexuality is a real thing, and that some people identify that way. Awesome. I am happy to call you whatever you want to be called, for serious. But the news I get via some recent fics is that there's a spectrum of asexuality, and you can be asexual but still want to have sex sometimes, or have a romantic ( Read more... ) -
apparently it's Thomas a Becket feast day, also the 5 day of Xmas
So, hockey soon, maybe? *crosses fingers* We've been watching the World Juniors which is entertaining in its own right, but not the same. I vacillate between planning to boycott the whole NHL when they finally get their shit together, and admitting that I'm unlikely to actually follow through with that. It's a dysfunctional relationship, me and the ( Read more... ) -
This brave new world we share
Has anyone seen Ruby Sparks? I have thoughts, and also some rage, and would love to talk to someone about it. I wish I could recommend it - it is well-written and thoughtful and has some great performances but it has one big gaping hole that it refuses to address that I think is a moral lack, big time (on the part of the filmmakers, not the ( Read more... ) -
a turkey and some mistletoe...
First off, happy solstice! (a little early but hopefully I'll be sleeping at the exact time) I wish all of you a wonderful holiday season, whatever you celebrate or don't. Personally I'm planning to celebrate the end of hearing the same damn Christmas songs over and over in stores and offices. Seriously, apparently there are only 12 secular ( Read more... ) -
Rant of the day
So this is following uncomfortably on the heels of my similar rant the other day, but you know what I hate? When you have to call someone back to confirm an appointment. I don't need a reminder, and I don't want to have to call you. Because I am a functioning adult, when we made the appointment I wrote it down and am aware of its existence. If I ( Read more... ) -
Suggest a TV show for me to mainline?
We will not be traveling for the holidays, because of tl;dr reasons, so I am toying with the idea of starting a new-to-me TV series on DVD with some of my free at-home time. I started thinking about it and I've managed to avoid a lot of critically acclaimed shows in the past few years, because I tend to be a completist if I start something so am ( Read more... ) -
Oh yeah, also
turns out Beauty & the Beast is pretty decent, and it features occasional bonus Peter Outerbridge (although with weird hair imo). It kinda made me want to watch the 80s version, which was early enough in my childhood that I don't really remember much other than Linda Hamilton's hair and a lot of tunnels.

Argh.
Why do so few hair salons in the Bay Area have online appointment booking? I hate talking to people I don't know on the phone anyway, but trying to make a hair appointment is a circle in Dante's hell. I propose a time, the receptionist says the stylist isn't working that day. They propose a time, it doesn't work with my schedule. We end up going ( Read more... ) -
Just in case
FYI, just so you know, there are two (famous(ish)) David Alan Griers. One is black and the dude from In Living Color, and one is white and writes about computers. I was a little confused for a minute, because I thought maybe the actor one had suddenly decided to write for IEEE, which would have been cool but a bit random. (And their respective ( Read more... )
