The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Spidra, I hope your dad has an easy and quick recovery.

You too, Plei.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Religion in a Bath! I'm for it.

Now I'm earwormed with...

...
Oh, the tingling of the scrubbing brush, the flannel's soft caress!
To wield a lordly loofah is a joy I can't express.
How truly is it spoken, one is next to Godliness!
In the bath, in the bath!

....

-- from "In the Bath," by Flanders & Swann [link]

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

Dinosaurs bit it, penguins live on.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Me, I've got "Mirror in the Bathroom."

Possibly making no plans this weekend other than Stupid Thesis was a mistake.

There's a party for a kravver I could go to. But I have no idea how many people there I'll know, and I don't know the birthday girl that well at all.

And I'd have to leave in about 15 minutes to make the surprise portion of it.

I have a suspicion it's not happening.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Am I just imagining that nuking another country out of the blue would effectively push the other 5.75 billion inhabitants of the planet into direct opposition of the US as a rogue nation?

Since this article by Hersch (one of our great journalists) is based totally on anonymous sources I'm hoping this is just admin spin. An attempt to intimidate Iran, and perhaps to soften the reaction to the actual attack. "What a relief! They didn't use nukes." I sure wish I had confidence in that hypothesis.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Me, I've got "Mirror in the Bathroom."

Good choice!

There's not even any Criminal Intent on! Only SVU. I guess this will be a good opportunity to go to bed early, in preparation for actually having to be somewhere at 8:30 Monday morning. (The horror!)

Good choice!

Now I feel all validated in my musical knowledge.

I defer to you in all things R&B from 1985 - 2006.

I'm pretty out of it, the second half of that time frame.
