I have succumbed to the Erika/Hayden hype and started watching The Wire. It's had to grow on me. The potential for violence makes me very tense, even though it's way less violent than Deadwood. I am loving the actors and the craxy conversations the cops get into.

Happy Thanksgiving to all you guys!

Who's working today? (Expecting the Un-Americans to chime in, but there might be some Usanians with nose to the grindstone out there....)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

[Edit: in honor of the little that I do know about Thanksgiving, the digits in my post # had so much turkey to eat that they just sat on the screen to rest, their belts popping open, without bothering about what's the right order. I only wonder where the rest of the larger digits went (do you think the digits have separate tables for the big and small ones? And in the small ones they don't have spicy foods or have juice spilled around? And how come "1" isn't with the "small digits" table? Do you think that "0" got him a place with the biggies because together they make "10", event hough it's not a digit? And who did the cooking? And how did they count the dishes if the digits themselves are the guests? Now I've managed to get myself all curious. And the digits may even be UnAmerican!]
I adore Nilly's spicy mathy brain. For reasons exactly like this.

Me. (pouts.)

This is my only five day week in the month of November, so it's feeling like it's been going on forever!!

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Top Chef: They need to bring Anthony Bourdain back every episode. Seriously. "Flinstonian execution." BWAH!

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

It's fascinating what squares challenge people, and which don't. I had both comic books and Japan done pretty much by myself and very quickly. Others, like poker stars were done early, but with massive Wikipedia research. And then there are ones like the priests|friars (and many others) that sat there and taunted me, and I couldn't even guess easily with clues.

Frank, as I'd suggest to anyone who wants a topic change in a thread--change the topic. Or at the very least add one. If there's nothing else you want to talk about, what's the problem with other people talking about what they want to? Well, okay, there's never a problem with other people using a thread as it was designed. It's just odd to try and stop them when you have nothing else to use the thread for.

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

Victor, I totally agree about Top Chef. LOVED the guest judge.
