Eerie 'nativity' scene
You know, just the other day, I was thinking that I don't really seem to have any "Uncanny Valley" reactions.
Thanks to ita for proving me wrong.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.
'Objects In Space'
Natter 45: Smooth as Billy Dee Williams.
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.

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

No problem. Least I can do, really.

My thesis? I'm looking at cookbooks and housekeeping manuals from the 16th and 17th century to see if and how they had an impact on women's literacy. As women became more literate, they published more of these books so I want to see the impact on literacy and, ultimately, on culture. Though the time period might change, given the availability of early modern cookbooks.
Cook for Kats! That reminds me of Nü Shu - the secret chinese writing system for women which I think was often used in recipes.

That's awesomely cool.
I've lost about 10-15lbs (I don't own a scale) since I stopped snacking on sweets at work. I'm hoping running (which we'll start again this week, now that our lungs are recovered from June's colds and the heat's less oppressive) will take care of the rest of what I want to lose (which is at least another 20lbs) without me having to become a slave to Fitday again.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'd like to lose another 50. I'd be happier with my body if I lost at least 30. I've stopped drinking regular soda and have cut way back on my sugar intake, but I need to get back to the gym. I'm hoping that once $$ gets settled down, I can join Bally's again.

I'm thinking of hitting up fitday again. But first I need another weigh-in. It's been weeks. Who knows where I stand?

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I haven't lost anything. In fact, I think I've gained. I'd love to lose 20-25 lbs. I did, however, find the Perfect Bathing Suit this year, which makes me look as though I've lost some weight. I love when that happens.

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
aren't true patriots, like the New York firefighters were....
Who likely vote Democrat, because they are union.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I know I haven't seen you in a while, but you were pretty perfect looking when I met you.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah, I know, Allyson. Was just thinking "unlike that pinko Denis Leary who's been writing about 9/11 for years."
