I feel sure that with modern material science, it should be possible to come up with a nylon that won't easily snag and create runs. I really think there must be a conspiracy....
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Theo, I agree with you. I also think that nail polish should last longer, but I may be forced to give on that one.
This is a lovely picture, and reading through the change notes makes me smile because it seems to be the point of Wikipedia, which is cool. Also the phrase "Ida moons" appears in the text, and that makes me laugh.
Okay, mail read. I'm so glad that none of the meetings was to have led Friday were rescheduled to Monday.

Sadly, I didn't -- I was in the middle of New Jersey and lost track of time and the train schedule in the morning. Whoops.
Oh that's too bad. I'm still bummed about the flight delay that caused me to cancel, especially when my "building bookshelves and unpacking the last of my boxes" project got sidetracked by my own stupidity.
In other news, it feels very strange to be on board time now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, the link I just posted has sponsored links. This is weird:
Earth Orbit
Free Shipping Both Ways at Zappos All Types of Shoes - Huge Selection

OK, "Earth Orbit" is a brand of boot. But the above makes it sound like Zappos has free shipping to and from earth orbit. For shoes, anyway.

I thought Zappos was going to ship me earth orbit. Which has a nice circular (eta: I guess I mean elliptical, huh?) impossibility to it.
Still, now I want new boots.

I'm earwormed with Tom Jones singing "Sex Bomb," only now as "Gay Bomb."
And now I'm imagining Maggie Simpson doing the robot to "Gay Bomb" (as in quite possibly my favorite throwaway bit from the Simpsons).
