Fifty Shades of GreyFollow

I'm pretty sure the sparkly vampire stuff got taken out to prevent lawsuits and all that, still the story is otherwise unchanged from when it was still Edward and Bella or whatever the **** those Twilight characters are named.


I'm just saying, don't expect good writing and don't think that this is anything like an actual BDSM relationship or in fact anything other than exactly what people in the BDSM community tell you to avoid because of how it's based on abuse and a one way power instead of mutual desire and trust.

Well, I suppose it is a bit easier for me to articulate a sudden thought than it is for you. No wonder you might have the (mistaken) impression that my first post was the result of weeks of agonized brainstorming, note taking, and dozens of drafts.


Actually, you were right. It's from my upcoming treatise on romance novels and public transportation. It's called Sexual Subways and Romantic Railways: On Erotic Literature and the PATH.

I've vaguely wondered what this whole "Fifty Shades" dad was all about. Not much, as it turns out.

POIDH

Don't waste your breath. (pixels?)


Watch yourself, you little whippersnapper!

I have no desire (ha!) to read it. I'm sure the pictures I paint in my head are much better than what she's painting in her little Twilight book. Also, I've never read any erotica that wasn't just totally overdone to the point of embarrassment.

Yeah, I read them when I was younger and single, but they just don't do much for me anymore. I much prefer novels that are well written and have good plots, that has some fun sexy times inserted here and there. *snickers*

I've not read the book, but for the record, Vancouver, WA is nothing like how it is portrayed in the book simply because nothing like that happens in Vancouver, WA. That's what Portland is for...

Also, it's really amusing to run into a co worker (male) intently reading that book at the book store and to then watch them unprompted try to pass it off as a mystery novel, hopeing that I didn't know the title.

The check out lady asked me what the book was about. I replied, "sex." She said "oh, isn't it a mystery?" I said, "No, it's just about sex. That's it."

I suppose that'll teach her to ask about people's purchases.

Only women can read.

Speaking of baking, I really want to make some pink lemonade cupcakes... that just sounds so delicious right now.

True enough.

My son gave my husband some new computer speakers for fathers day. After about 10-15 minutes the two of them still hadn't managed to get any noise to come out of those speakers. They'd been to the device driver place, they'd re-booted, the had tried an alternate USB port.

I strolled by and noticed writing on the box. It was instructions. Three steps - 1. Plug in the audio cord to your headphone port, 2. plug in the USB connector 3. Turn on speakers.

Apparently they'd been having trouble with the third step. Apparently, the power button was camouflaged. Fortunately, I was able to use an accompanying picture on the box to lead them to the location of the hidden on/off switch.

I posted this game suggestion elsewhere, but the challenge is that you can only buy two items, and the goal is to pick a combination of items that will make the cashier the most uncomfortable. Something like a dozen bananas and a bottle of KY.
