My girlfriend and I couldn't decide on a name for our little baby girl. Eventually she took her to the registrar, and said she would think of something on the way. When she returned, I was frantic with anticipation. 'So what's she called?'
'I called her Lesbian,' she said, smiling at the bundle in her arms. 'It's such a pretty name.'
I asked her what on earth had possessed her. 'Don't you know what it means?' She didn't, so I explained. The poor thing burst into tears.
'I didn't know there were ladies who did that to each other,' she sobbed.

Disappointingly, nothing has changed.
"everything in the Gilmore house was 'don't talk about it, shove it aside.' and of course, i talked about it and shoved it right in your face."
i just want it to stop.
i don't want it to go on any more, i just want it to stop.
i don't care how it happens. just stop.

dirty laundry (now airing)

This is the kind of mess she makes and leaves behind, before she goes out. My comforter and pllow somehow got caught in the fray as well, despite originally being in the top left-hand corner of the bed. (yes, my pillowcase and comforter have flowers on them. that is how destitute we are.)
please also note that all this is on a bed. where people sleep in.
you know what? in hindsight, this is disgusting.

but, no. it is merely my sadly uneducated and/or illogical sister. because if it doesn't work, click the Print button repeatedly until either it does work, or you give up.
i fear for the future (mine). my aunt was right. i have to break free.
the graduated
"Ryan puts Marissa down carefully and tries to wake her up. She does, and her head is bleeding and her injuries have given her a strange Kabuki face. Either that, or the makeup department doesn't apply "death mask" nearly as well as it does "Marissa glamour face." "Ryan," she says. Ryan says that he'll get help, like he always does for her. This time, she begs him: "Stay. Don't leave." Then she moans a few times, and Ryan whispers that she'll be okay and he'll stay there and neither one of them says I love you. Sucks to be you, Ryan/Marissa fans! And with that, Marissa pants a few times and dies. Ryan is shocked. He keeps calling her name, and then lets out an "oh... no." Unfortunately, his crying face looks a lot like a smile. Kind of like the smile on my face right now when Imogean Heap comes back and sings "Hallelujah!" about the fact that Marissa just bit it. We flashback to Ryan driving away from Marissa and looking back once to see her standing in front of the sunset.
Wow, what a terrible way to kill off a character. Why did they break Ryan and Marissa up if she was going to die? Why not have Marissa leave the show on the Greek cruise? I'm all for her leaving my television screen, but this was such a pointless way to do it, it just left me feeling hollow and unsatisfied. Pretty much like this show always does. So I guess it's fitting."

yes. good recap.
two-thirds
all this means to me is that come Wednesday, i will basically be living in a flat three-quarters full of people i either dislike (wheelchair-enabled aunt and the maid) or hate (guess who).
in other news, apparently Taylor Hicks won American Idol. great. now can he dye his hair?

if you closely, if you look enough, and if you know what to look for, you'll know why.

The Radiotheraphy Center is depressingly nicer than any of the other clinics in this hospital i've visited. "Nicer"meaning "not fugly". It's no designer clinic, but it at least looks like some thought was put into the aesthetic nature of the place. Because clearly cancer patients need more comfort. So we give them a non-unattractive clinic and waiting area to sit in, complete with pleather sofas.

voting, election

Figure 3 Voting in the 1959 electionyes. why, indeed? see the estatic woman, running through the streets in the rain after voting? that's how rare a chance to vote is, in sunny Singapore.
The British granted Singapore self-government after the election.
Why did the British government decide to grant self-government to Singapore?
