In today's strip, John is mildly annoyed because he has to go down to the hardware store to get a set of shower taps Elly can turn off with her feet. While I do understand what drives her to want this, the whining tone I know that the Lynnsight will take is a turn-off.
(Strip Number 10919, Original Publication Date, 29 May 1983)
Panel 1: Having noticed that John is putting on his coat to go out, Mike asks him where he's going.
Panel 2: John makes the Gorey-eyed glare of rage as he sharls "The hardware store."
Panel 3: As he puts parts of what looks like a plumbing fixture into a box, Elly tells him that she's really sorry about this.
Panel 4: A mildly irritated John tells her to not to worry about it.
Panel 5: As he opens the door, she tells her that she knows that it's only a minor complaint.
Panel 6: As he leaves, he says that it's okay.
Panel 7: When he gets to the hardware store, John tells the clerk that Elly wants him to return the bathtub faucet and shower set he's holding.
Panel 8: The clerk says "Not quite right, eh? Well, what exactly is she looking for?"
Panel 9: John face-palms as he astonishes the clerk by telling him that Elly wants something she can turn off with her feet.
Summary: This is because John is sort of clueless and doesn't realize that Elly doesn't lock the bathroom door when she takes a bath in case her children need her and she has to rush out. This means that at some point, she dealt with the mortifying commonplace called "children seeing her naked" and wants to minimize the risk. I can understand this but I also know that we're going to watch at least one ex-husband get torn a new one because he "wants" her to be humiliated.

Fic.
The Primeval fandom has collected a whole host of OCs (mainly soldiers). There is a resource post at primeval_denial describing them, and telling you who owns who.
Many of these OCs are borrowed by mulitple authors, and therefore appear in a large number of fanfics. These 'main' OCs will be listed in the newsletter. For a list of which OCs we will be including, and who created them, see the profile page
Included OCs have {OC} after their name, or, if there is more than one in a fic, then an * after each name, and {*OCs} before the fic rating.

The Transgender Athlete
TW: tranphobia, mentions of suicide/self harm
If you've never seen the hammer throw up close, especially during a New England winter, the most arresting part of every heave is the conclusion: how hardened earth erupts when the metal comet splits the ground. Weighing nearly nine pounds with a four-foot wire tail, the stainless-steel ball is menacing enough that airports ban it from carry-on luggage. And on a brisk February morning in Williamstown, Mass., every toss by Keelin Godsey offers further proof of its violence.
At 5'9" and 186 pounds, Godsey is tautly muscular. He wears glasses and is dressed in black from his sneakers to his knit cap, which sheathes his blond, spiky hair. Over and over, from in front of a chain-link backstop, he grips the hammer's handle and whirls in accelerating circles until it's no longer clear whether he is spinning the ball or the ball is spinning him. His target distance, 226'4½", is out on a gravel path beyond the frost-covered craters. That's the qualifying standard for the London Games—a mark Godsey finally surpassed last month (with a throw of 227'8") at a meet in Walnut, Calif. With a top three finish at the trials in Eugene, Ore., in June, he will realize his lifelong dream: to make the U.S. women's Olympic team.
For transgender men and women, the physiological traits that distinguish them as male or female don't conform to how they feel about themselves. Some have undergone sex reassignment surgery or hormone therapy to make their biological and gender identities match. Others, such as the 28-year-old Godsey, have not: He was born as a female and therefore competes as a female, but he identifies as male. Imagine a body, especially one as finely tuned as an elite athlete's, feeling inescapably foreign—as if it were intended for the opposite sex. "I take a lot of pride in the fact that I have a good amount of muscle mass, and I've done it naturally," says Godsey. "But in some ways, this is the last body I would ever want."
A physical therapist who was known as Kelly until his senior year of college, in 2005, Godsey is the first American Olympic contender in any sport to openly identify as transgender. When not competing he dresses and lives as a man, renting a ground-floor duplex in North Adams, Mass., with Melanie Hebert, his fiancée of three years. "I'm a female when I compete," Godsey says. "Every day I have to sweat, stress and freak out. How do I look? What is someone going to think of me? Is someone going to say something at a track meet?"
( Consider something as simple as going to the bathroom. )

GaGa's Bangkok Arrival 5/23
The 26-year-old greeted fans as she arrived at Don Muang Airport in Bangkok, Thailand, in the scarily tight outfit.
However, the star appeared to maintain an air of cool as she waved and smiled at fans in her own affectionate way.
The blonde pop star kept her face covered in a pair of large sunglasses and wore her hair in a ginger bouffant.

Sharon Needles On Rumors Of Her Arrest
Earlier this week, after attending drag legend Lady Bunny's “Hot Mess” party at Manhattan nightclub XL, RuPaul's Drag Race winner Sharon Needles found herself in a bit of a quandary: she had to drain the snake.
Unfortunately for Needles, she had already left the nightclub and what she thought was a secluded corner ripe for some natural graffiti turned out to be one of the worst possible places for a queen to take a leak. That's right, a police station.
“I had gone to Lady Bunny's show that night because whenever I get a chance, I love to watch other entertainers,” Needles tells OUT exclusively. “I had a couple of drinks with friends, I had a lot of Red Bull. I was on my way home and it hit me: I had to pee so bad.”
And when a drag queen has to pee, folks, it's no simple matter.

Gurl...
She's lucky she just got a ticket. All I can think of is that episode of 'Raising Hope' where they all ended up having to be listed as sex offenders.
Also, is anyone surprised by one of the main people spreading the rumor she was arrested?
current mood:  sore

Morning becomes
The sun is rising over the roof of the flats opposite mine, though I first glimpsed it from another window half an hour ago, through the trees which screen my street from the factory behind, and it had been light for some time before then. The spring hums at the edge of perception, and coos and chirrups and sometimes shrieks with the voices of birds.
Insomnia has its beneficial points.

Honor student placed in jail for tardiness and truancy at school
HOUSTON—A judge threw a 17-year-old 11th grade honor student from Willis High School in jail after she missed school again.
Judge Lanny Moriarty said last month Diane Tran was in his Justice of the Peace court for truancy and he warned her then to stop missing school. But she recently missed classes again so Wednesday he issued a summons and had her arrested in open court when she appeared.
Tran said she works a full-time job, a part-time job and takes advanced placement and dual credit college level courses. She said she is often too exhausted to wake up in time for school. Sometimes she misses the entire day, she said. Sometimes she arrives after attendance has been taken.
The judge ordered Tran to spend 24 hours in jail and pay a $100 fine. Judge Moriarty admitted that he wants to make an example of Tran.
“If you let one (truant student) run loose, what are you gonna’ do with the rest of ‘em? Let them go too?” Judge Moriarty asked.
Tran said she is working so hard because she is helping to support an older brother who attends Texas A&M University and a baby sister who lives with relatives in Houston. Tran said her parents divorced “out of the blue” and both moved away, leaving her in Willis. Her mother lives in Georgia, she said.
“I always thought our family was happy,” the teen said tearfully.
Tran lives with the family of one of her employers. They own a wedding venue. She works at the Vineyard of Waverly Manor on weekends and at a dry cleaners full time.
“She goes from job to job, from school she stays up ‘til 7 o’clock in the morning,” said her friend, co-worker and classmate Devin Hill.

Ukrainian lawmakers come to blows over Russian language
A political debate over whether to enshrine Russian as an official language in much of Ukraine brought lawmakers to fisticuffs this week, playing on enduring divisions in the country over cultural identity.
The scuffle, caught on tape Thursday, was followed Friday by lawmakers blocking the podium to prevent the start of a parliament session. Hundreds of protesters gathered outside, and the spat even led the head of the Ukrainian parliament to call for dissolving the body and holding early elections, Ukrainian news reports said as the furor stretched into a second day.
The Russian tongue has been a sensitive subject in Ukraine sincein gained its independence just over two decades ago, said Damon Wilson, executive vice president of the Atlantic Council. For some Ukrainians, the push to protect their language has become enmeshed with protecting the nation.
