on conference call - I am only tangentially involved with the issues being discussed. Is very hard to pay enough attention and yet every so often they call on me for an opinion.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

This is my cousin.
Cool. The CDC is only a couple of miles from me, which is something I would occasionally ponder when they were running articles about the old Level 4 lab, which was in a building that was falling apart.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is cool - except for the restrictions:
Free limited access to the Oxford English Dictionary for Britons
Tom sez, "In conjunction with a six-part series showing on the BBC at the moment, the Oxford English Dictionary is allowing free access to the full dictionary with all the fascinating citations and etymologies." While this is deeply cool, there are two genuinely sucky caveats: one, this will vanish when the show finishes its first season and two, the OED is using whacky IP-address filtering to try to limit this to Britain. Cos, you know, people outside of Britain aren't interested in speaking English.
So, how would one get one's browsing appear to come from Britain?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's how it looks! You drop the good Us, move around the Rs. You don't deserve the OED.
Except I do. Hmm.

Heh. I work just up the road from the former EPA building. It's built in an early '80s prison style, with a few narrow little windows in ugly brick walls. Occasionally we speculate on just what got left behind the in the labs. Most of our scenarios resemble something out of Doom.
It's had a "For Rent" sign on it for about two years now.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Wasn't there a wacky movie comedy about a runaway First Lady and the Secret Service guy assigned to protect her? I can't help but wish 24 would inject some humor, aside from the occasional cougar and or amnesia attack....

Hell, even an amnesiac cougar would do, on second thought.

Things taking up space in my brain. I never even saw this.
