If there's anyone who gets the WSJ, could you please email me this article? [link]
Pretty-please?
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.
sending shortly, Tommyrot
Thanks!
I somehow suspect alcohol won't mix well with my fat lip.
It would hurt like whoa for a little while (that will seem a lot longer), but it would clean out the cut nicely. And might stop the bleeding, though I hope that's already happened by now.
Oh god, you guys, earlier today I had a truly ridiculous experience. I'm reading Running With Scissors, about 3/4 through, and a scene sounds familiar. I'm thinking maybe I read his other book, and the same thing comes up, so I go look on my shelf, and not only have I read Running With Scissors before, I OWN IT. I was never great at comprehension and retention, but that's ridiculous.
I did that with All Tomorrows Parties. Didn't figure it out until I had read the second copy all the way through, though.
I can also get you the article if you need it, tommy.
Thanks, Ginger, but Lee's email thingie has arrived.
Hey, you drink enough and you won't care!
My dad sent me a tape of a program on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey done by the local PBS station. The telescope is on the site where dad is director. Anyway, it was geekilicious. The SDSS is really incredible. (Um, anyone want a bunch of 3 ft diameter plates with holes drilled in them? I keep telling dad he should contract with a local artist to make coffee tables for modernist geeks and then auction them off on ebay to raise additional funds. So far, he hasn't taken me seriously.) I basically grew up with these projects. It's funny to see people you've known since you were at least 7 on the teevee.

Oy. I mean, it's not the typical kind of thing, you know? And what stuck with me was the diner waitress? Fucked in the head, is what.
