Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I mean, personally. I google to find out stupid facts, not to actually learn about a topic.
For school, I search journals and whatnot. Still not as interested in actually learning as I might be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What did they say? Also .. there's a krav defense in Serenity, which made me laugh.

I just flipped over to Monday Night Football. San Diego is wearing their 1960 powder blue unis with the big yellow thunderbolts. Tres cool.

I start with wikipedia as general overview and to see what links they have.
I am like Kat, in this. I find wikipedia very useful, it not authoritative or entirely reliable. For that I go elsewhere, but it's a good source for insta-knowledge. You know, trivia and cocktail-party data.

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
Also .. there's a krav defense in Serenity, which made me laugh.
It's the one where Jayne flips the guy and bounces his head off the floor, isn't it? C'mon, you can tell me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
