What is even happening?
Jilli: Okay, which one of you has a working teleporter, and why aren't you sharing it with the rest of us. In the past two weeks at work, I have done double-takes because I could have sworn I saw MM, Sean, and DX. Today it was Cass.
tommyrot: Oh, that is so naive to thing someone's using a teleporter. It's much more likely that in the future, MM, Sean, and DX are traveling back in time just to confuse you.
Jilli: Oh. Good point.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

And also help edit Elliot's novel which is called, The Campaign to Kill the Dog.
WindSparrow:
Is this a novel or a self-help manual?

from boxed set. I'm just the setup, I swear.
IAmNotReallyASpring: I saw an ad for [Torchwood] last night and thought 'This is spun off from Doctor Who?' But there'slesbian groping and jets of blood.
SA: It's DW's 'edgier' cousin.
IAmNotReallyASpring: The ads make it look unattractively edgy. Like 'Look how edgy we are. We're composed entirely of edges. We have no sides.'

From a discussion in Bitches about short hair
ChiKat
I love having short hair and will always have it. I have thin, fine hair that hangs in stringy limplessness if I have any length. But short? It looks like I have actual body in my hair.
juliana
As opposed to an actual body, for which long hair is much more useful for hiding.

It started simply, with a discussion of brains (which is simple for Natter)

And from Wikipedia, a much more prosiac entry:
Donovan's Brain
Donovan's Brain is a 1942 horror novel by Curt Siodmak. The story revolves around an attempt to keep alive the brain of millionaire megalomaniac W.H. Donovan after an otherwise fatal plane crash. Gradually, the increasingly evil brain develops telepathic abilities and becomes able to control the mind of Dr. Patrick Cory, the character who is keeping the brain alive.
The novel has been filmed on several occasions, most notably as The Lady and the Monster (1944) and Donovan's Brain (1953), the latter starring Nancy Reagan.
