My students call grunge "way old school". Keep in mind, high school kids were born around 1990 at this point.
ETA: This is not to say that it doesn't make me weep.
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The status is NOT quo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Erin, as soon as I've worn the boots out of my house, I'll report back. They seem comfy on in the short term.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Don't they have some lovely shoes? We were plotzing over these a few nights ago, but they're not orderable over the web.
As heels go, they make the most comfortable I've tried -- most heels feel uncomfortable when I just try them on. Not these.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Up on LJ since the last obsessive (who me?) F5:
Update #1, 7:35 pm PST: we're up on 'dirty' power for now (it works, but it's unreliable), and we're working to assess the state of the databases. The worst thing we could do right now is rush the site up in an unreliable state. We're checking all the hardware and data, making sure everything's consistent. Where it's not, we'll be restoring from recent backups and replaying all the changes since that time, to get to the current point in time, but in good shape. We'll be providing more technical details later, for those curious, on the power failure (when we learn more), the database details, and the recovery process. For now, please be patient. We'll be working all weekend on this if we have to.

I fall down a lot -- heels, flats, whatever. I can stand on one foot for hours at a time, but I can't walk three steps without taking a header. It's demoralizing.
I had the cutest pair of wedge mules from Aerosoles, and I wore them literally to death. One day they just fell apart on my feet. Of course, they don't make them anymore.
Those are cute heels, but I can't do ankle straps. They make my think ankles look thicker. Hilarious -- I don't care about my potbelly, but I can't stand for my frickin' FEET to look chunky.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I just saw that. Doesn't sound like it's coming back anytime soon.
I'll be interested to hear how Internap lost both their main power and their redundant backup power in one swell foop.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I suspect Cylons.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Stop linking to those cute Aerosoles! I don't need shoes!
