I'm totally naming my kid She-Ra. People can pretend it's regular like Shira, but I'll know she's the Princess of Power.
Now I have a completely different view of Judge Shira Scheindlin.
Slap my hand now!

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

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm just...well..fucking speechless. Is this the Administration's way of getting people to conserve energy? After Cheney says conservation is a "personal virture" rather than a sound basis for energy policy?
It'd be funny if it weren't so fucking pathetic.

It didn't officially get named anything yet. Well, except 2003 UB313.
Official naming takes commissions and meetings and approvals and people get bent over the silliest things. That's just what the astronomers studying it are calling it. Like I call thanksgiving turkeys Fred. Astronomers use a lot of whacky names.
It would be interesting if what is used in casual/popular speak sticks. I think you'll have to gag & bind the IAU and kill off a few grumpy old goats for it to happen.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
As I've said before, I gave up brontosaurus but I am not giving up Pluto as a planet. We're allowed to make exceptions, dammit.

I can't give up Pluto, either. I mean, I grew up playing chinese checkers with its discoverer. (Which is how I know of the wailing and gnashing of teeth involved in naming it. He said he first threatened to propose the name Goofy for what became Charon just to watch people go wacko.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Now I have a completely different view of Judge Shira Scheindlin.
I'm just here to help.

There is a fire in the building next to ours. We all smell it and now we are getting announcements in our building: "Attention Attention, there is NOT a fire in this building. Repeat, the building is NOT on fire." Calming.

What is even happening?
I'm not even giving up brontosaurus. Screw them, and the metric system they rode in on.

Also, I think I might want Jilli's swirly bat logo as a tattoo.
Heh. That swirly bat is indeed my next tattoo. I'm getting one on each arm, just above my wrist.
