Me too. I actually do not need to work, and so I do volunteer docent stuff, but I’d honestly like a regular job. Part-time would be fine. A chance to put on adult clothes and get out of the house regularly.

I have a lot of curly hair that is nearly impossible to comb out, so when my daughter got lice and I didn’t know if she’d passed them to me, I dyed my hair. I figured they’re not gonna survive a couple boxes of drugstore Loreal.

My daughter had one year where she just kept getting them over and over. The shampoos weren’t doing anything. The only thing that worked was to cover her head in conditioner (to slow the buggers down) and then carefully comb out. It usually took 2 or 3 days of repeating this to get everything.

Like that is SO MUCH RED LIPSTICK Elizabeth you harlot.

Well in that case, I hate her stupid non-period-accurate hair and too much makeup. ;)

Elizabeth has her moments, but she’s kind of too repressed to do anything about them. She’d have done better as Ross’ wife than that other snotty bitch that wanted to marry him, though. The first time she had to pick a weed she’d probably have fainted for a week.

Not at all! We’re still playing and I’m 43. Check Meetup or game stores in your area.

You know, I tried to look up who has the most total Hugos and it seems like most sites only count Best Novel wins. Connie Willis was listed as having the most but the source was 10 years old.

I saw a theory that it’s George R. R. Martin stalling on finishing ASOIAF.

And of course if you say “use the restroom of the gender on your birth certificate”, it doesn’t solve anything because then a dude can just claim he was born female and walk in there looking as manly as he likes. No one’s carrying around a birth certificate regularly.

Katie Ledecky apparently outswims men training next to her regularly.

“Pounded in the Butt by the Hugo I Didn’t Win”.

Hah I loved everything about those books except the Presger Translators. That “alien by virtue of being totally insane” thing got pretty old for me after a few chapters.

Bujold has more Hugos than anyone, and she’d asked for Penric to be removed from the slate (they refused). So I don’t think she’s going to feel personally upset by this.

Anime Expo one year had an “adult lounge” featuring cocktails made with “Tentacle Grape” soda. I’m not gonna lie, I had one. It was pretty good.

I suppose they could come in perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic. That’d probably confuse the heck out of us.

Seriously, I would like to see a story where aliens have nice, polite first-contact protocols. Like “We contact them from the next orbit over and politely request permission to enter planetary proximity.” Why do they always just show up in our atmosphere? That’s like the pizza guy just strolling in and dropping a…

I just read it (the PDF is online) and ... yeah, they’re not going to be filming that as written.

My dog, who weighs 10 whole pounds, has attempted to physically attack a parked UPS truck. But he’s often scared by his own water dish.

Doubly hilarious since every one of the symptoms of these “conditions” they’re theorizing would go double for Trump.
