Anya ,'Empty Places'
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.
I would be very impressed if the teachers I know could make their students glow in the dark. They would be the awesomest teachers evar!!
(Especially if they could do it without also killing the students, or turning them sterile, or toppling the infrastructure of any major cities while they are at it.)
Ha.
Oh, and there are totally fixed earth geeks. I picked up a brochure from some at the last convention I was at (was disappointed there wasn't anyone there to talk to) and it was all filled with numbers and obsessive bits of information, just like any other fandom based around a completely fictional topic. It was just, you know, not labeled as fanfic.
eta: I cannot watch the Heroes or anything else because the SO's sickroom is the tv room! Get better SO! Or maybe I should get another tv.
just like any other fandom based around a completely fictional topic.

Buzz Aldrin is still my favorite astronaut ever, because he decked a flat-earther. Al Bean is my number two guy, partially because he was played by Dave Foley in From the Earth to the Moon, but mostly because I actually met him and he was really nice.
I've got paczkis!! I found that bakery in Arlington Heights, and it's about as Polish a place as you can get, what with the three Polish ladies working behind the counter and the customer having a nice conversation with one of them in Polish. They had fifteen flavors, and I got 11 (she shorted me out of the dozen, which I didn't realize until I got back to work--oh, well): rosehip, plum, custard, boozy custard (with liquor), strawberry, blueberry, lemon, raspberry, and a few others. The plum one was very good, indeed!

"Terrible way to introduce Al Bean to space travel!"
(Al Bean is my favorite. I would name a kid Alan, I love him so much. Pete Conrad too.)
Someone remind me why my attention was caught by the Eldard and Perrineau vehicle "Demons." Was it because of someone else in the cast? The premise? The creative staff? I'm totally blanking on it.
Heard it was bad, sadly. Harold's a nice guy.

Funnily enough, I saw an interview with Dave Foley where he was talking about meeting all the astronauts, and he reported that if there's one thing they agree on, it's how much they Hate Buzz Aldrin. For example, everyone apparently knows that the senior officer gets to leave first-- in this case, gets to walk on the moon first. But Buzz was super-annoying about wanting to disembark from the moon lander first because he knew that he would get all the glory. Obviously he still wasn't permitted to do so. Total gloryhound, it was reported.
Obvs this is multiple levels of hearsay, just thought it was interesting.
