Let me ask you something...

jasontheexploder:

  • If Starfleet was sending all its ships to Wolf 359, fully knowing it would be a combat zone, don’t you think they would’ve offloaded nonessential personnel? Namely, Jennifer and Jake Sisko?

No way. There wasn’t time. Ships had to come from all over the place and they were barely able to assemble there. The Borg were moving fast. Wolf 359 is less than ten light years from Earth. But you know in Season 1 where Picard really hated kids and didn’t want them on the ship? THIS IS WHY. He was right!

Another one like that
Approximately 12 different little slips of paper with passwords and nothing else written on them

This is why I should not be allowed IM

  • Me: OMG. WHAT IS THAT HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE SOUND
  • D: I believe that it is "Greek Week"
  • Me: SHOCKING
  • D: Yes. Why are you yelling?
  • Me: THE HORROR OF HAVING TO LISTEN TO THE SOUNDS OF YOUTH ENGAGING IN ANAL SEX AS A CLUMSY AND INEFFICIENT MEANS OF MONTHLY BIRTH CONTROL
  • D: Actually ... it's the other Greek WEek
  • Me: EVEN WORSE: THE YOUTH ARE BEING FORCED BY UNIFORMED THUGS TO SEGREGATE THEMSELVES BY RACE AND SEX AND THEN ENGAGE IN ALCOHOL ABUSE
  • D: I really don't want to talk to you any more if you're going to be like this.

Is it Drive? Is it Drive?

Of course! :D

How was lunch? Did your date pay attention to your dreams?

He laughed when I told him my first dream was to be a rock star. But I’ve slept with people so much more insulting and jackassy than that that I will at least give him a chance to make it up to me.

:hmm: I’d laugh, too, but my laugh would be one of delight, not derision.

rebeccarae:

do you have time to fill out a short essay? it’s for my little brother’s anthropology class. if you have time, could you please fill it out and email it to him at mbar@uab.edu?

or you could just reblog this and i could get it to him. please?

1. Gender: Male
2. Age: 45 (shit!)
3. How would you classify yourself as a rider? commuter/weekend trail
4. How Important is riding to you? Essential
5. How often do you ride? Every day
6. What is the primary use for your bike? transportation, shopping, recreation

8. Do you see any one form of riding better than another? Everything is better than downhill-only “mountain biking” — that’s a really lame-ass scene
9. If you could improve one thing about the cycling community, what would it be? More roads are needed solely for bike commuting. I’m stealing seagull’s answer here
10. What is your favorite aspect of riding bicycles? Passing long lines of cars stopped in traffic. Ha ha, suckers.

Hump Day Slow Dance Song of the Week.

What better way to beat the midweek blues then by taking the hand of the one you love and sharing a slow dance.  So wrap your mittens around your kittens and enjoy the HDSDSotW.

Oops. Couple days late for this.

But still. I could watch Paulina being sad any day of the week. This is on my short list for “best song of the eighties” …
