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

Awww, it's BillyTea day on wikipedia. Today's featured article is on echidnas:

And the featured picture is cuttlefish!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I HAVE HAD CAFFEINE!!!!!

me too, but, er, I think you had more than I did. Either that or the caffeine just isn't helping anymore.

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

I don't want caffeine. Here is a list of my demands:

    • Nap
    • Energy (post nap)
    • A prototype system that doesn't barf an error message whenever I try and navigate
    • The opportunity to evaluate the project plan with the affected parties
    • Another nap

Please feel free to escalate this issue as high as it takes.

Thank you for your prompt attention.

Can I have a nap too?

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

Timelies all!

Owie. I must have pushed off the side of the pool wrong while doing laps today because my knee hurts like whoa. Where's that Tylenol?

I seem to have a nap to spare, Burrell. It's all yours.

If I took a nap from either ita or Burrell, I'm sorry. Stupid hormones are wiping me out. Does explain my hostility of late, though.

I really really really don't want to dismantle my kitchen tomorrow. Nor do I want to do the cat dance. Stupid fucking roaches and stupid fucking tenants that entice them (never had roaches before this year. In conjunction with a couple new tenants. I am suspicious.)

ION, why do I always have to watch the Nat'l Geo Arlington Cemetary doc? Never fails to make me cry and really wonder about what personality quirks the honor guards have. Don't get me wrong, I understand how the precision is a form of honor, but that these guys like it so freaking much is unnerving. Same sentiments about the Lenin's Tomb guard. When I went through the tomb, as we exited the little pathway outside the tomb, a little girl ahead of me just HURLED all over the boots of one of the guards. He didn't even look down. I waited 10 minutes. He didn't move. With vomit all over his shoes. I was freaked out (pickled Lenin put me well on the way, but that just pushed it.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Radiation and the Popular Imagination

In the past century, few topics have gripped the public's interest as tenaciously as has radiation. Our perceptions of it have shaped policy in arenas as diverse as medical care, energy, and international relations. The relationship has been a stormy one, though, as we've alternately adored radiation or despised it, depending on the morning's headlines.

Fortunately, radiation's long-standing high profile in the media provides us with a century's worth of images to chronicle the history of this roller coaster romance

Wow. Radiation used as a beauty treatment. Radium drinks that glowed. Radioactive suppositories.

Radium water means radiant health. AGUA RADIUM rejuvenates!

Radioactive hot springs were the spas of the day. Seats in radon-laden mine shafts were rented by the ill and aged.

One of several brands of radioactive toothpaste.
