Hi, I don’t think that she was eluding anyone or anything. I mean, maybe she was, but it’s more likely that she was alluding to something.

I know this is off-topic, but you just nearly brought tears to my eyes, because I just saw the episode of TNG where Jean-Luc mind melds with Sarek, and I swear that Jean-Luc Picard > Obama+Bartlett and why can’t we have him for president.

It was a jokey ref to a dumb but funny recurring sketch on Conan O’Brien, where someone would make predictions about the year 2000. This continued until around 2008 or 2009.

This will continue until the year 2000.

I stayed at one like that in Texas. It was fine, but indeed boring. And my co-renter took the ‘no party’ rule literally, and wouldn’t let anyone come over. Soulless house meets anal renter.

Starred for sympathy-bile.

Splitting apples or other fruits with similar shapes (pears, persimmons, etc) is considered fun at my house. We normally eat something like 4 quarters of apples. It ends up being the same amount, but you also get to make sure that the kids are eating some goddamn fruit once in a while.

Buffets are seriously gross.

I’m alternating between all sorts of different stuff, but yesterday I came across a performance of Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo by Jordi Savall’s group, and I can’t stop listening to it.

Wut, that’s an excellent name.

I listened to the Sugarcubes all the time in high school.

No hat is worth #4.

There’s also the problem that there is very little that’s interesting or compelling in the Inhumans source material.

Every airbnb I’ve stayed at was super professional, and even a bit boring. No satanic clown dolls or weed/condom kits.

That’s one of the marks of A Good Writer.

I get where you’re coming from; let’s continue with this:

We grew up very working class, sometimes quite poor, and when my parents got older and a little more organized, they started liking cruises as the preferred way to take a vacation. So they’ve (super-generously) taken me, my partner and kids on two cruises now. They’re the relatively cheap kind, I think Carnival.

Or the mozzarella sticks.

wut, how could anyone hate Star Trek?

That depends. I’m incompetent with most things that involve being handy, and the other day I had to make a wreath (don’t ask ), which came out awesome.
