- I just don't get that eyelash business - especially when they list the contra-indications.. - MojaveMeg Nov 24, 17:55 2
  - the crap *changes* your eye color. sometimes. but whatever. brooke is famous for her eyes. why would she eff with them? -- nm - a-maine-da Nov 24, 17:56 1

The series finale of Dollhouse will air Jan. 22. -- nm - Beaker Nov 24, 17:51 7
- If you had told me before this year that if Dollhouse, HIMYM, and The Office all got cancelled, I wouldn't really care? I would have called you crazy. -- nm - TFox Nov 24, 17:52 6
  - HIMYM got cancelled?!?!?! NPH -- nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo -- nm - fedup Nov 24, 17:53 5

I don't have enough room in my weekend bag to take home everything I need this weekend. whose idea was "only one suitcase in maine"? - a-maine-da Nov 24, 17:32 8
- get a bigger suitcase -- nm - peglegpete Nov 24, 17:55 3
  - I went shopping for a slightly larger bag tonight, but there was nothing, really. I bought some shoes instead. - a-maine-da Nov 24, 17:58 2
    - The problem here was that you went shopping. - the liioulu who's sopping wet Nov 24, 18:01 1
      - my hotel is really nice -- I bet I could leave stuff here in like a wegman's bag. but it feels so declasse. - a-maine-da Nov 24, 18:08
- Maybe you misunderstood. They probably said, take one main suitcase and a backup. -- nm - Redmond, Final Score:Ducks 48 - Beavers 20 Nov 24, 17:42
- hence, the fanny pack. -- nm - TFox Nov 24, 17:40

        LOL!! love the IM - Epiphany Nov 24, 18:07 1
        
        The catchiness is half of their problem. If it was hard to get stuck in your head, that'd be one thing. - TFox Nov 24, 18:14
  - You hate Public Enemy too? tsk tsk -- nm - Guy Nov 24, 17:35
  - P. P. Chuck D has infinite mulligans. -- nm - TFox Nov 24, 17:35 2
    - well, if you ever realize how wrong you are, you ought to give Lullaby a shot. - Guy Nov 24, 17:36 1
      - If you saw the stack of unread books in my house, you would not hold your breath. - TFox Nov 24, 17:40

I just went for another session of using the dryer in the restroom. - the liioulu who's sopping wet Nov 24, 17:30 4
- Just your pants and leggings? - Spawn Nov 24, 17:33 3
  - Butt is dry. - the liioulu who's sopping wet Nov 24, 17:37 2
    - is this a new green iniative i've never heard of? -- nm - fedup Nov 24, 17:38 1
      - It's called being a bike rider on a rainy day. - the liioulu who's sopping wet Nov 24, 17:39
Michelle Obama is so gorgeous. The pics from the state dinner are something else. -- nm - TFox Nov 24, 17:22 1
- Kid, your... wait. Uh... -- nm - nubby Nov 24, 17:25
which is better: stategy and transformation consulting or financial mgmt? - fedup Nov 24, 17:21 12
- are you good at bullshitting? that's what the first one is. -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 17:22 11
  - I've found that most positions require being a good bullshitter. comes in handy... -- nm - Beaker Nov 24, 17:37 1
    - "communication skills"? -- nm - a-maine-da Nov 24, 17:47
  - I would disagree completely with this statement. what do I know, though? I just have an MBA and am essentially an internal consultant now - a-maine-da Nov 24, 17:30 7
    - also, just curious, is your MBA from maine? -- nm - fedup Nov 24, 17:38 1
      - no. -- nm - a-maine-da Nov 24, 17:39
    - oh really? see i was worried bc i'm not exactly sure what the career path for consulting is... - fedup Nov 24, 17:37 4
      - I would say that 70% of the people in my program returned to school to career-switch. an MBA makes it easy to leverage past experience - a-maine-da Nov 24, 17:46 3
        
        how long do you think it will take for acct/finance salaries to correct? -- nm - fedup Nov 24, 17:59 2
        
        financial consulting? or like, corp fi? huge difference. and what kind of accounting? CPA or no? forensic? - a-maine-da Nov 24, 18:03 1
        
        right and that's why i'm so skeptical about this program... - fedup Nov 24, 18:15
  - that's what i'm afraid of (wish it was tech consulting). but that company has a good rep (i.e. resume builder) and allows me to live in all of those - fedup Nov 24, 17:25

New thing I'm not getting about Twitter: replies are just, like, standalone? They look dumb as hell without context of what you are replying to. -- nm - TFox Nov 24, 17:07 14
- in my case, I only see a reply if I am following both of the people who are conversing. Makes it much less confusing. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 24, 17:11
- yes, the lack of threading is annoying. -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 17:10
- it is odd - wish there was a way to turn it off - disrupts a timeline - Epiphany Nov 24, 17:08 11
  - can the person you are replying to tell what you are replying to? -- nm - TFox Nov 24, 17:10 10
    - It depends on how they're reading it. It's easy when you're on your Twitter page, but most people read the stream through 3rd-party apps/widgets, and - mara Nov 24, 17:16 6
      - is it generally poor form then to reply to anything but someone's latest tweet? -- nm - TFox Nov 24, 17:20 5
        
        No, why would it be? -- nm - mara Nov 24, 17:24 3
        
        Because say you tweet six things, and then I write "yeah, great point". how the shit would you know what i'm referring to? -- nm - TFox Nov 24, 17:26 2
        
        Did you do it as an @reply to a particular tweet? My tweet app (Digsby) tells me. If I'm using an app that doesn't, we'll just assume I don't give a - mara Nov 24, 17:30 1
        
        Ah, ok. That was what I didn't know; if those things linked up somehow. It wasn't apparent to me when I did it. -- nm - TFox Nov 24, 17:30
        
        yeah, I think so. It's not really a conversation. more of a cacophony. - loosilu Nov 24, 17:21
    - well usually you put their name it in, like @tfox -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 17:11 2
      - yeah, but like... then there is no such thing as a reply. there is just a "shit you yell in that dude's direction". - TFox Nov 24, 17:13 1
        
        yeah, pretty much. it's very primitive. That's part of the reason for its success. -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 17:21

Loosi, BBC-A had a segment on Darwin in their World News report tonight - peglegpete Nov 24, 16:58 6

  - they show his house -- nm - peglegpete Nov 24, 17:01 3
    - I'm not, like, a fan. I like his books. -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 17:02 2
