I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Natter 37: Oddly Enough, We've Had This Conversation Before.  

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.

Real Analysis is not that esoteric! Dear, lord. However, the rest of the stuff is cool.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Heh. I love unexpected math nerds almost as much as closet rock and roll fans. (Though I already knew Danica had studied it in college.)

Unexpected Math Nerd: Phil Alvin, lead singer of The Blasters. He went back to grad school when the band ended.

Unexpected Rock Fan: June Lockhart, the mom on Lost In Space who had a huge Bowie poster over her bed in 1972.

Didn't Heddey Lamarr (no, not Hedley!) help to invent sonar or some such WWII submarine thingy?

Up with the sun

I am in receipt of a $50 certificate for TGI Friday's ... I'm still not sure what to do with it.

Booze, in the form of froofy drinks, is the only answer, I think.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

"I love continuous functions and proving if functions are continuous or not," she said.

I don't remember math very well, but it feels like I learned this.

ETA: this is a snippet of a longer post where I complained about overblown claims for famous people's intelligence, so I meant to say, is that really that hard?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Friday's isn't so cheap that $50 would last long. Unless that's just the Special Manhattan Pricing. I went in one a couple of years ago, and was SHOCKED. We left and went to a pub.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

OW.

I just lifted a box and caught the edge on my big toenail. There's a big chunk missing now, and I have no nail file.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Hedy Lamarr sketched out the concept behind cellular channels, during WWII. The Dept. of War politely declined her contribution, but yeah.

I can't even.
