j-awsofdeth said: TV Animated Sitcoms of 2013?
I'll be honest and say that's not really a thing I watch. So I'm going to give you my top animated cartoons I watched this year instead. Sorry.
Phineas and Ferb
Adventure Time
Legend of Korra
Spongebob Squarepants
Steven Universe?
Man, I haven't really watched that many cartoons either, I guess.

I’ve never heard it. Although, granted, Spanish slang is an art-form I’m not particularly skilled at.
I learned it in one of my Italian classes, so it really wasn't about Spanish but I wondered if it might be similar since the conjugation is similar. It basically means to treat someone with disrespect by using the familiar instead of the formal. "I can't believe he gave me the tu!"
I have to wonder if it's real because that teacher was kind of crazy.

I haven’t even logged in since I signed up. I’ve been too busy with my move and getting that together to even try.
You have a very good excuse and are forgiven. Also, as far as I know, the course pages will be open past the end of the class, so you can still go over the material then. Or maybe you should just download the extra documents now and read them later.

This is a thing that Joe knows how to do that I don’t understand. He can just stick to self imposed deadlines, and I don’t know how. I think it’s some kind of black magic.
There's something about that boy. I don't think we should trust him.
The kids are off school today, but they're all headed to the Y for a little bit, so I'm going to try and read then. If not, I have a long ride to Joe's water polo game tonight (yay away games!) and I can maybe read on the way down there. Or maybe tomorrow. I want to get it done by tomorrow night so I can shift my focus to the writing workshop I have on Sunday.
How much reading have you been able to do for supermooc? I already feel kind of overwhelmed.
It’s a huge undertaking. Especially the first week, I think, because we’re reading so much of Strangers in Paradise. I started it a week or so ago and I’m not done (but I haven’t been great about making time for it either). I haven’t read the single issue yet either. Basically, at this point, I need to sit down and just devote a lot of time to the class in order to get anything out of it.
I have a copy of Superman Birthright from the library that I need to start. But I have a big head-start on the Captain Marvel comics on account of I read those regularly and have them all on comixology already. But yes, there is a crap ton of reading per week. It’s less than I had in school (English major!) but I also haven’t been in school for 2 years. Maybe if I knuckle down on this class that doesn’t count for anything, I’ll be able to ease into grad school.
I’m going to post this publicly because I know at least two more of you in the class. How far has everyone else gotten? Anyone else feeling overwhelmed?
I'm following Jesse now. I like new writer friends. also hi, I love you a lot.
I love you, too. Jesse hasn’t posted a lot of his writing lately, but if you go through his blog, it is asdfjkl; the best.
Everyone else should be following anexcusetofrighten as well. He’s amazing. Also his birthday was yesterday, so you should all give him late birthday wishes.
Hi! I stumbled upon your post about moving to Chicago. And I have been wanting to move to a city but an affordable city. I live in South Jersey at the moment. I am a bank teller and I live only 45 min away from Philadelphia(which I love), but I just need to get away or I want to try a different city and I hear Chicago is a great one to start. I have been doing quite a bit of research. But, do you have any good advice as to where I should look? Or any other important suggestions I should know?
I am always happy to help people move to Chicago! I've lived there most of my life, about 18 years. I'm in St. Louis now and moving back to Chicago next month. I've lived primarily on the south suburbs, but I'll be in the southwest suburbs after this.
Each area of Chicago is a neighborhood and each neighborhood has its own personality. Here's a handy site on each of the neighborhoods which shows them on a map and gives you information about each. You can kind of get a feel for which is going to be best for you, based on your personality and maybe your heritage, race, or economic status.
One site I recommend checking before you move—and don't let this be off-putting—is the map of homocides. This will help you see which neighborhoods downtown are the safest.
The south side is going to be cheaper, but it's not as safe. The north side and downtown are ridiculously expensive. Everyone shies away from the suburbs if they're moving from out of state, but I recommend them. 30 minutes from the city in Chicago is actually very, very close and our public transport system is phenomenal and goes quite far outside of the city itself, so getting downtown for work is easy (and there's work available outside the city too). Basically you have to not think of it as Chicago, but rather as Chicagoland. The city sort of spills over its borders.
Of course, if you do move, you'll have to change your username. ;)
This place is looking for submissions from writers and I linked it to you on facebook but I figured you're more likely to check your tumblr inbox, so I am covering multiple bases, and I hope you hit a home run with this one.
I had actually checked fb first because that was one of the tabs I had open when I shut down last night. But thank you for letting me know about this! This prompt was tailor-made for me.
If anyone else (*coughJessecough*) is interested, you all should check this out!
I was not expecting all of these responses. My apologies for flooding your dash with my follow-ups.

I absolutely know what you’re feeling. I’ve been in a dry spell for nearly two years, and so I know what it’s like to get back to your writing and be pleasantly surprised how good it was. I also know you’re still the best writer I know.
Thank you, but that's only because you are too modest to realize that you are actually the best writer. Your dry spell is painful for everyone.
