I am sure the Amazing Wonder Niece is all ears, waiting for me to break out the four-letter words on visits.
The AWN seems to be quite the language sponge.

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.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
my eyeballs are too close to the inside of the glasses, if that makes any sense.
My eyelashes sometimes hit the lenses of my glasses. Of course, it could just mean I need my eyelashes trimmed.
Gronk^∞ No caffeine yet. I think I might not be at work, but instead home dreaming this. If so, it's a crappy dream.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nuh uh! Long lashes are excellent! I meant from side-to-side, though. Looking at my face straight on, there is more of the lens on the outside (toward my ears) than the inside (toward my nose) on either side of my eyeballs.

Why is stainless steel nonferromagnetic?

Probably because of the added chromium they put in it.

Now I'm curious as to what makes iron magnetic.
(I read an article [link] about accidents caused by ferromagnetic metals being pulled in to the powerfull magnets in M.R.I. machines.)

Here's a cite on the stainless steel thing, although even to me it's like "blah blah blah blah blah blah nickel blah blah blah blah chromium blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah magnetic blah blah blah blah." Apparently some stainless steel can conduct magnetism. [link]

Interesting.
I suppose I should do some work here....

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Y'all have totally lost me.
Took a look at the nekkid Jude Law picture. He looks normal. I think he should take a picture of himself when he has a raging hard-on and send it out to all the tabloids so they can compare and contrast.
I swear, nothing was as weird as seeing all the guys be naked for the shower scenes in Take Me Out. Far more information than I needed to know about my friends.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Timelies, and gronk. This time I decided to stay up until midnight since I haven't been able to fall asleep until 1am lately anyway. I ended up tossing and turning until after 2. Ugh.
I'm trying to catch up in Minearverse and it's freaking me out. How long does the soap talk go on?
Far, far too long.
Also, I'm afraid I don't like my new glasses. Or, I like them, but they need a slight modification -- my eyeballs are too close to the inside of the glasses, if that makes any sense. If the lenses were just a touch closer together, they would be perfect.
When I got my new glasses a couple years ago I had a similar sensation. Unfortunately, it also gave me headaches. I mentioned it to the glasses place and they said that's normal with a new prescription and it would sort itself out. Since they were my first new glasses in 10 years (I normally wear contacts) I took their word for it. I never did reach the point where wearing them for long periods of time didn't make me headachy and vaguely nausiated and now the prescription is too weak, so I just wear them just before bed and right when I wake up anyway.
