Damnit, I wanted {transphobic slur} hooker, and Quintin beat me to it. Again.

CLOCK, " {transphobic slur}" is an offensive term. u_u

Oi, there's a queue here, you know. Unless I'm being cast as the urbane British villain.

My wife got a new job today. Higher pay, she will qualify for better benefits in a few months (we are paying for our own insurance, less out of pocket, than was taken from her checks). Less headaches-the women she worked with were just awful. I am still trying to talk her into a EEOC whistle blow.

But she will be a supervisor, will be in a professional environment, and will be done with that bush legue Twat-filled jungle.

Oof. Caught me in a Catch-22 there. Do I ignore my cultural leanings by sauntering the front of the queue, thereby solidifying my villain status? Or stiffen my upper lip, and stand behind you passive-aggressively muttering under my breath in the vain hope that I can instill enough shame in you that you'll insist I go in front of you.

Well played sir. Well played.

Goddammit. You're not still planning to make my character a trans hooker, are you??!?

Yes. Yes I am.

So who is optioning the movie, and do you get to write or consult on the screenplay?

I would kill to see a movie of 72 Hours. No, seriously, I would kill someone. Probably the ticket taker at the theater.

Dibs on being the useless drummer who serenades the audience ala There's Something About Mary.

Dibs on asian guy who is only good at one thing and thus finds himself in way over his head.
Most likely won't survive one and only scene.

So being a parent is a pretty wild ride. Our daughter, Norah, was born last Wednesday, and it's been a hell of a week.

BABBIES!

My 3-year-old at the dinner table: "BOOM!... for no reason." *giggle*

My 5-year-old has been singing a cleaned-up version of Thrift Shop* for 2 days now.

Both boys are totally into He-Man now. That's my house.

*Link is not cleaned-up.

Grats Nicholass!

(Seeing BadKen's avatar that close to BABBIES is a bit unsettling)

Fantastic news, Trichy! Were you negotiating with them, or was this a bluebird?

All this talk of trichy's book reminded me that, while I own it, I still need to read it. I bought it while I was neck deep in "A Song of Ice and Fire" and it's been on my to read pile ever since.

Posted about beards on Facebook. Friend complained that he's 30 and still can't grow one.

Now all my other friends are posting pictures of themselves with beards. It's like he's being shamed. Beard shamed.

Today is a good day.

Nice.

What I'm really waiting on is for a couple of the ladies I know to photoshop beards onto themselves. I'm pretty sure they'll do it without even the slightest bit of prodding.

Eh, some of us aren't cut out for chin-hair. I'm 35, I've been rocking a reasonable goatee for a decade now, but if I let it go into a full face beard, there's no way I don't look like a paedo.

Shush, you. We're having a great time with this.

His last reply was "f*ck you guys, I'm just gonna sharpie on a beard" which I think means we're doing it right.
