Same. I hope you can get some good rest when you can finally catch it.

Right here with you. Just saw my wife and her sis off to OC for the day.

I can't get to bed before three am. Then I end up napping. Then I go to bed late. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Also throw some barfing in the mix. I just can't get back to normal.

Really? Do you prefer it as a set I or II opener? I like when they kick off the show with some energy.
- Mary Carmen
Set 2. Coming back in from intermission good song while folks settle in for next hour plus. Then something batshit up tempo to wake folks up.

Give the director a serpent deflector, a mudrat detector, a ribbon reflector. A cushion convector, a picture of nectar, a viral dissector, a hormone collector! Whatever you do, take care of your shoes!
So as best I can tell, if a fat woman is happy in her body and loves herself and then proclaims that on tumblr, it is open season for folks to tell her how unattractive she is, how she should hate herself and that she needs to lose wait. Fat-shaming.....alive and well.
Some of the people who comment on Tumblr, especially anonymously, use up my 'WTF is wrong with people' quotient regularly. I feel like it takes a special kind of ignorant fuckwad to piss all over someone else's happiness.

Yeah, there are some really nasty users, and some of them are pretty obsessive about which bloggers they pick on.

Built it Saturday morning. Cleared room for it, moved it, and started loading it up Saturday afternoon. Today I unloaded more stuff and made room around it so I can eventually attach the desk that goes with it. Now it's the little scrapbooking things that need to go on it. Some new organizing treasures are needed! =)

That is my favorite piece of furniture. Id it from Ikea? I have 4 of them in my house.
- Mary Carmen
It IS from Ikea! I've been wanting it for YEARS but never had the space for it. I'm so happy to finally have a space to call mine!

I love it! It is so awesome. I have one in every size!

I had a high risk pregnancy, and for the first 3 weeks or so of morning and/or all day sickness, all I could keep down was girl scout cookies.
- Trish R
Well, I'm on week 15 of not being able to keep anything down so my hopes are not high.
- Mary Carmen
And don't watch Little House on the Prairie. I watched it every day and cried over every episode.
- Trish R
Thank you. I'll have to look up what they have done. Holly, did you see that Stumptown will roast to your request? I just read that this week.
- Mary Carmen
Lol. Yes, mommy has hypermesis and has been home for the past month with no end in sight. Other than the constant vomiting everyone is healthy.

I just saw your pregnancy whine post and I think all of downtown Sac heard me say, "Wait, she's pregnant?" (scroll back scroll back scroll back, find announcement) Wow! Congrats to you and Scott.
- Corinne L
Sounds like a portable a/c unit might be needed! I totally feel for you having to be pregnant in the summertime. I was ALWAYS the hottest person in the room and had maternity tank tops in every color. Modesty went out the window in place of being as comfortable as possible. I'd hug you, but I'm sure you're hot enough already!
- Yvonne
My first instinct is to say ewwwww, but I've had ketchup accidentally get on my mac-n-cheese before and it wasn't horrible, so maybe just meh? I'd prefer my mac-n-cheese without it.
- Katy S
I like stewed tomatoes on top. And I like ketchup on sharp cheese, as in a cheeseburger, so why not?
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
I first heard about this in Barenaked Ladies's "If I Had $1,000,000" but I don't think I'd want to try it myself.
- Brian Johns
picante sauce on mac and cheese is AMAZING. moreso if you mix it all together.
- Hieronymous Thalidomide
altho, i tend to melt some grated cheddar into the mac and cheese first and THEN add the picante sauce.
- Hieronymous Thalidomide
I haven't tried it, but it's not something I'm likely to try.
- John (bird whisperer)
I don't like ketchup on anything; but the thought of it on mac & cheese or on eggs is especially disgusting to me
- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
Wont admit to it sounding okay. Because I would lose my yuppie cred from the 80s.
- Mary B: #TeamMonique
Also wont admit to liking ketchup on a rare roast-beef sandwich on a Kaiser roll or white bread. And why won't this pad stick the apostrophes in ALL my contractions?
- Mary B: #TeamMonique
I had a feeling this was gonna happen. Congrats! :D
- Colette
Stay tuned; we'll still be doing a public ceremony/celebration, but it probably wont be until next fall. We were impatient and in lurv ;)

There are a lot of comments re: Google Glass that focus on the new normal or how privacy or thoughts about privacy are shifting, the new social norm, etc. As I read these on thought jumped into my head:
I keep thinking about how a group of teens raped a drunk and unconscious girl and thought absolutely nothing about filming it with their phones and posting about it all over Twitter. Obvious other major problems aside, I'm not sure I'm this level or concept of transparency or comfort with everything being shared is a good thing. What if not everyone is responsible enough to handle it?
- Mary Carmen
from iPhone
I'm guessing almost no one is responsible enough to handle total transparency in all instances. Judges sometimes show bias, police officers sometimes break the law (even if in pursuit of true justice as they define it, it's still illegal.) Priests and ministers prove their fallibility and 'sinful nature' on a daily basis. We're all subject to subtle prejudice and thoughts of retribution...

Also [by way of example] I don't like to use foul language, in private or in public, but when I'm behind the wheel and 'in the moment' I've been known to unleash a string of pretty bad words. That isn't normally part of my character, but given certain trigger situations (e.g. some a-hole cutting me off) I step out of my normal range. No time for reflection or taking a beat. Just blammo! So often this is true of social media. (Methinks.)
- Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
I think you make a great point. There really is no time for reflection. Add to that a lack of understanding of consequences and you have a mess.
- Mary Carmen
from iPhone
Yeah. I think I should have said surrender, not disgust, 'cause I feel sota defeated about the whole thing. We will figure it out, but that doesn't make it suck less, ya know?
- Shannon - GlassMistress
It really does suck, and you really will figure it out. You aren't in it alone, and people can help out. And I meant my idea about fandom beads that I mentioned on the other thread. I've never seen anything like that in bead form when I've been to (admittedly few) cons, and I think they would be really popular.

I think the sickness is making me feel depressed and isolated. I wish my mom or my sister or someone who has been through this was here. Not a good week.
- Mary Carmen
from iPhone
*hugs* I'm sorry this is making you feel so isolated. It sounds incomprehensibly grueling :(
- Jennifer Dittrich
It may be time to have a heart to heart with your doctor and with the discussion specifically for a Zofran pump. You will receive a small continuous type of dosing and you can be slowly weaned off within a month or two. You need a quality of life and you need proper nutrition, meaning anything you aren't puking.
- Janet:#TeamMonique
Maybe an online support group might help? When I was on modified bed rest for 5 months it really helped to have other people going through it to check in with. Still felt pretty isolated but it did help.

I see the UK has groups for severe sickness but I don't see a US one though there might be one that is part of a larger forum.

How about this one: For a while, vampires were hot. Now zombies are hot (and possibly overexposed). What'll be the next monster trend in horror movies?
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Also, I like it a lot when you have director-themed discussions. So next up, maybe a Cronenberg episode, a Craven episode, Tobe Hooper, George Romero, etc.
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
As far as monster themes go: You've done exorcism and a bit on zombies. You could deep-dive into types of zombie movies (such as Italian). You've touched on aliens for sure, as well as slashers. How about vampires, ghosts, and werewolves? And mutants, don't forget mutants. Also would love to see more recommendations of underappreciated films that you can find on Netflix or Amazon.
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Definitely do Werewolves, ghosts and vampires. All great ideas :).

1 - Genre Mixing. like Horror and Comedy. Horror and Musicals. 2- Your Horror Desert Island Discs aka you have to remove those 10/20 movies from my cold dead hands and why. 3 - Horror 101 movies Where would you point a horror n00b?
