Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Derek Sheppard = MINE

Stop! Now!

He needs to be shown effectual fists, and then it'll be all over for anyone else.

A co-worker just made a flesh-eating bacteria joke, and I totally stole his air with tales of Steph's big boss.

I think he hates me now.

I would like my own fictional character, and I would like him to look at me the way Dempsey looks at his character's object of desire.

I want one that looks to me like Dempsey looks sprawled out nekkid on the living room floor. (Thanks for the heads-up about the repeat broadcast of that, by the way.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Wait. What?

I can't even.

From my flist, this great tidbit:

English scholar Christopher Frayling, author of an epic biography of Sergio Leone and recent recipient of a knighthood. For his knightly crest, he chose the Latin motto:

Perge, Scelus, Mihi Diem Perficias

The official translation of the motto from the College of Heralds reads as follows:

Proceed, varlet, and let the day be rendered perfect for my benefit.

But the intended rendition would instead be:

Go ahead, punk, make my day.

They didn't really show anything scandalous, what with it being network TV and all. But what they were able to show looked pretty good.

Aw, but you haven't really lived until Anne McCaffrey's tried to run you over with her motorized cart!

If I only had a brain...

I just got the SFWA newsletter, and it mentioned that McCaffrey has "turned the Pern franchise over to her son."

Ew.

(Thanks for the heads-up about the repeat broadcast of that, by the way.)

Thanks from me too.
