As ever... looking for a livestream link for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade...this happens every year, because NBC is hopeless at this. Any ideas? Also, beware as there are hundreds of fake livestream links - if you've found one that really works, I'd be really happy!
The Contemporary Classical Composer’s Bullshit Generator : My goal, in essence, is to premiere musical vibrations. If one concept must be grasped, it is this - the rational installation always suggests the expressions, and it must do so entirely octatonically.

I just won't wear a suit - but what do I wear instead for my college interview on Tuesday? It's at Starbucks. I am not the most sartorially savvy - or equipped, honestly - so I really don't know what to do. I'm inclined to just wear my (all-khaki slightly worn) school uniform, but surely I can invest more effort than that? I am a girl, and all I have is too bright or informal. Help please?

I'm moving saturday and mostly packed except for like a lamp and a printer and random crap that just doesn't really go in a box. like a bike pump. or a guitar. it makes me feel all unprepared. i'm drinking whisky and listening to christmas music. that makes me feel prepared.

OK, Elsa I made your stuffed acorn squash for dinner tonight and you had my carnivore husband asking for more. Delicious! I remember you saying either here or on mefi that you modified the recipe a bit? Couldn't find the comment. It was great as is though.

I am the sun, I am the air I always liked this line because I thought the idea was to play on homonyms, but then I also interpreted that one line in the chorus as "I go about things my own way" for decades. Well, actually, I still do.

My 14-year-old nephew, on the Twilight movies: "They are all the same. A hot girl gets into trouble. She doesn't try to get herself out of it by herself. Instead, she gets her hot boyfriend who doesn't wear a shirt to help. When he can't do it, she gets her other hot boyfriend who doesn't wear a shirt to help. The special effects are awesome, though"

"Harper Valley PTA" with Barbara Eden - Jeannie C Riley established a number of firsts for women with a song as notable for its charting as it was for bans. Those who didn't live through this period don't realize the huge societal shift that occurred during those waning years of the '60s.

MetaChattier This site is a little more lively lately than it's been. I was a little worried in the last year that this little place was winding down as people wandered off to other social media but each of the last three months have had more posts than the previous month. Looking at the archives, we've gone from only 135 posts in August up to 166 in the just past month. Makes me happy.
would anyone look at my resume and cover letter please? my usual suspects for this help are unavailable right now and i found a job posting that i need to apply like right now. it's been a while since i've done this, so i could use an eyeball or two to look it over. i can email you the docs.
