OK, I think I have gotten all of the info I will need out of three books today. I need to go through one more before it's due at the NYU library on Thursday, but so far, so good! I'd much rather work with all text in a Word file, than going back and forth to books or notecards or whatever, it turns out.
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Based on the principles he lays out, we seem to be doing very well. Good for us!
I know! I had a wave of smuggery, but I'm mostly done now.
Most of today's work from home has been taking online courses. It feels weird.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
One of those things one would remember being told more often than being the teller.
Hee, no lie. I'd have more to say on that subject but I'm still holding my tongue. So to speak.

What is even happening?
I think this is an interesting thought exercise, but "Jesus Walked on Ice, Study Says" is just asking for trouble.
That's funny. Last night, I was watching The King and I (the old one) and when the Crown Prince does not believe there is such thing as hard water that you could walk on, it made me think of that.
What is the motive for an eyebrow piercing? Only one of my piercings had a motive other than "Hey! I want that!" I don't want back piercings, but I don't feel it needs (although it may have) any complex motivation.I guess I figure piercing so much of one extended area of the body like an entire back might likely have a motive at least more complex than "Hey! I want that!" (although that's got to be a part of it, and granted, where it ends up) because it's so much more extreme, and seems more likely to cause discomfort and be harder to tend to.

Well, it's the why part of "Hey! I want that!" For body modifications I'd do, the why is generally, "Because it's pretty." Other people can have other reasons -- liking the pain, liking other results, whatever.

On walking on ice:
Their analysis supports the likelihood that a brief blast of frigid air descended over the lake and dropped to 25 F (-4 C) for at least two days,
This reminds me of the sweatshirts that you see back home: "Minnesotans: We Walk on Water."
But Minnesotans don't try to walk on ice formed by two days of 25 F air temperatures unless they want to become ex-Minnesotans. So unless Jesus weighed less than a pound, he would soon be one wet savior.

I don't have a why for most of mine, so I haven't been thinking other people need one. I thought the navel would be pretty, and the nipple was part of a control issue I was having. Piercing all up my left ear? Just because I wanted to. How it looks or feels or what it means...zip there. I also kinda want a tongue piercing, but I think the discomfort part of the healing process would drive me insane.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Maybe Jesus used a robotic submarine that traveled under the ice and held it up as he walked above it....

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Can we have a rating system like slashdot?????

Or a submersible Zamboni.
