Oh. I'm torn between hoping that was actually Ricky, because at least that means he's capable of posting and not dead or locked up or catatonic, and hoping it's just some jerk playing a nasty joke.

That's upsetting. Poor Ricky.

Me too. His profile just shows the same two week old comments.

It doesn't have to be that way. Opera and symphony tickets can be expensive, but the cheap seats will run you less than Taylor Swift or Rihanna tickets. They also have student rush tickets, which I don't think I've ever heard of in the pop music world. Fathom events also showcases ballets and operas in movie theaters…

Yeah, I honestly have no issue with there being a dividing line between a 100 year old opera and the indie hip hop / punk pop fusion band Dave from work is in.

He is OK? I was asking about him the other night and wound up getting banned.

I can't find the list I was referring to, which isn't a surprise since it was probably ~10 years ago and one of the few of its kind at the time.

I make needlepoints of video game characters and I've thought about how kids will one day look at them like I look at a painting of a barn or a dowdy granny square afghan.

I don't get them either. I think the black button eyes and simplistic style is off putting.

It's a TV show? This entire time, I assumed they were ads for insurance and now I have no idea why.

Our Lady Peace was pretty big, I think.

I don't think the rapist was even a friend of his, correct? I think he just had a knee jerk reaction to what he perceived as a lynch mob - which I think is a fair thing to get upset over, but he almost definitely picked the wrong time and person to get upset over.

That's the best pinball machine ever according to some list that I read.
