It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

hmmm... My mom had a D. A. back then. But her clothes were conventional- so I don't think she ever looked like that .

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

My first thought was "tommy needs one of these!" And then I figured Gud should have one too, and the list started getting unwieldy, so I figure one for each Buffista. To start.

Coding and Sleeping

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 first thought was "tommy needs one of these!"

Yeah, I've seen videos, etc. of R/C jets like this. Very cool, if rather expensive. (I've seen jets as sophisticated as this one for sale for $20,000+. I think the engines themselves are about $2,000 apiece. So my big fear is if something goes wrong, you're left with a rather expensive hole in the ground.)

Oh, and somewhere on the web is a video of an eight-engined R/C B-52 crashing. It looked just like a real crash - it dove behind some trees, followed shortly by the appearance of a big pilar of smoke - yes, crahes of R/C jets often result in fires....

Ah, here it is: [link] (just pictures.)

Damn, the thing is as big as some homebuilt aircraft.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Another folky weekend, with the open sing tonight and the Mini-Fest tomorrow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'll say upfront that I don't have the storage for it, so if Emaryn or someone wants mine, that's cool.

I used to be all...well, business at the office. No personal information of any weight, and absolutely no trash talking about anyone else.

I was nice to everyone, and they were nice to me. It was pleasant.

I think Allyson textually yelled at me about forming bonds at work, and I figured I'd give it a try.

Which is why I now get a meta laugh out of walking past a co-worker and cracking him up with a hand signal for "Dear Lord, she's on the phone again????"

I still have my hard and fast rules--that one wedding was the only time I've knowingly seen co-workers outside of the office other than krav (for which they're paying, so it's all good). But the cohort-having is pretty fun.

Which reminds me of the term work-wife or work-husband. Would anyone here say they have one?

I've only recently heard the term.

I think I have a work-dog.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I do not in anyway need that plane.

I used to refer to myself as my boss's bitch, but I think that's not the same thing.
