Oh, you know what? Whenever I see a time with a colon in it (01:02, for instance), I assume it's non-military time. It has to be colon-free for me to even grasp that it's military time.
Well, that makes sense, then.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

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

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
This just in: I learned during the Institute seminar today that there exists a Human Foamy Virus.
I leave the symptoms of infection to the Buffistas' collective imagination.

Rabies?
My division head sent out the time thing. And the most anal retentive literalist (not me) replied with the variants and 100 years thing. Which I so expected him to do. He catches every typo, every grammar error. He really is wasted as a scientist.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm watching Thief.
Hmm.
Interesting.
I've also cleaned my fridge.
Less interesting.
The guy who dumped his meeting on me and took a powder emailed me to ask what this rescheduled meeting was about and if he needed to come.
Completely uninteresting.

Is that the Braugher (his toddler hit my knees!) show? It sounded interesting in local reviews (mind you, the reviewers around here worship Braugher as a god for Homicide.)
I thought it a bit weird that while set in post-Katrina New Orleans, it was largely filmed in Shreveport. I get the conveniences factor, it just seems weird to stage the mess elsewhere so soon.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I saw an entire History Channel special about the early vibrators, and it was fascinating. Especially the thought of all these doctors making money off women who came to them for "treatment". And then the inventing the vibrator to make their lives easier.
The special also had some early Sears Roebuck type catalogs selling electric vibrators for home use. Apparantly one of the first home electrical appliances.

Anne, no need to whitefont--someone put it in press already.
while set in post-Katrina New Orleans
Yup, it's the Braugher show. It's only retroactively set in post-Katrina New Orleans. This show has been in the works for over a year--Colin auditioned for it something like 18 months ago. One of the black belts at krav is executive producing it.
Braugher's better than I've seen him since Homicide.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I confess to some curiosity as to whether anyone ever invented a pedal-powered one.
