I need extension cords and a strong boy.
Ah, the things one could build with those ingredients. I've always figured heavy lifting is what teenaged boys are for, as their brains seem to all be in a storage locker somewhere.
Kaylee: So, uh, how come you don't care where you're going? Book: 'Cause how you get there is the worthier part.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Are Pringles smaller than they used to be?
I'm menstrual and indulging and I know things in general seemed bigger when I was a kid (and therefor smaller and younger than I am now), but the shape seems somehow pointy and there is so much room between the chips and the edges of the canister.
And while ranch Pringles are tasty and ranchy tasting, they shouldn't have a reddish cast to them, darn it. Have these people never seen a botle of Hidden Valley?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I have bought more books. It's a good thing Malice is so close to my birthday, so I can use my birthday money to pay for the stuff I buy there.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
OK, I'm feeling slightly less postal toward the postal service, since my Amazon order arrived today. So for now I'm assuming they just screwed up one day's worth of mail last week.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
We're getting our first thunderstorm of the season. Whee!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So Calli linked to this pic-off between MR and OB fans. Much pretty goodness, some of which I've ganked, but I can't get over how much this makes me laugh. Michael Rosenbaum is a bad, bad, man.

I'm getting the pig!
Oh, dear. Dear. Bless you, ita. And bless you, too, Calli.
Not enough drool in the world.

Glad to spread the joy.
I just caught up on three weeks of Veronica Mars. I don't love it, I don't even like her, but DAMN I'm going to stay tuned to see Logan look at her the way he looks at her. Kissing her is gravy. That's about the only reason I'm in it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm still trying to wind down from Emmett's game, it was so tense. But we won and beat the only undefeated team in our division. Lead see-sawed, clutch pitching, clutch defense, two out rallies, stranding runners, diving plays, baserunners going over the heads of defenders, big hits.
The kids had a blast and it was nice redemption after losing to this team early in the season when we coughed up a big lead. Emmett played really well today - hitting, pitching and fielding. Whole team played well. They'e starting to feel how good they are too. We've got a lot of talent and we're just now harnessing it.
And now I've got to go see the Lost in The Grooves free concert tonight with Scott Miller (Loud Family and Game Theory). This has been underpublicized (we didn't get listings in the weeklies for some reason), so I'm hoping we managed to alert his fanbase (which is at least a couple hundred strong around SF).
