Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Just egg them. Videotape it for us.

Calling someone a "bright" sounds condescending. It sounds like a euphemism, like "special". Also? Not a noun.

I believe I may have packed my good mood away with my winter clothes.

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

Bright makes me think of Jenny McCarthy and her person-labelling.

I do indeed have eggs, and since I'm not going to eat them, I thought I might as well put them to public good. Since I had that thought, however, the noise stopped.

Fear me, for I am powerful. And that's before the swab even comes out.

This is just creepy. The page itself has nothing more risqué than lingerie, but the site has nekkid wimmens on it.

Women, would you want that done with your face? Men...is this something you'd do with a woman you could see naked anyway?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's super creepy. Almost as creepy as the thing I saw on YouTube, maybe, of someone photoshopping a picture of a fat woman into a skinny one.

Cuteness-inspired ethical dilemma.

They're on holiday. Cameras should leave them alone. But I don't think there are many celeb pictures cuter than ones with Violet in them...but ones with Violet and Matt's kid? TOTALLY.

Hmm. My sister once said she didn't like the cliquey vibe that Ocean's 11 and its successors gave off. But I'm realising that I do, and quite pointedly. Because it makes them seem human, kinda like the idea of Matt and Ben going on holiday together. George and Brad and Matt goofing around is like a hotter version of guys I know. J Lo and Beyonce and Britney and that shit? I have no idea. They're not real. They don't translate.

Which to have for dinner--a mini bagel, or some of the no-sugar added pound cake with tea?

I think the pound cake will win.

Random question someone may be able to answer:

Is there a way to gather money through PayPal from individual people without PayPal taking any of it?

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

That is... wrong. And not healthy. Or something....

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Was there a pic with Matt's kid as well?

I just discovered this Stage Lighting Museum. [link] It's in Israel. Nilly could go play with working salt water dimmers!

Furries and an Escalade (video)

Cosplayas, crunk juice, and spinnin' rims. This video needs not much more in the way of a description.

It's not any good. But at least it's short.

Why did I link to it? I figured you all should know that it exists....

Don't hate the cosplayah...hate the game.

Aurelia, not yet. But now I'm going to be keeping my eye out for one.

Do black holes really exist?

Tanmay Vachaspati and his colleagues at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, US, have tried to calculate what happens as a black hole is forming. Using an unusual mathematical approach called the functional Schrodinger equation, they follow a sphere of stuff as it collapses inwards, and predict what a distant observer would see.

They find that the gravity of the collapsing mass starts to disrupt the quantum vacuum, generating what they call "pre-Hawking" radiation. Losing that radiation reduces the total mass-energy of the object – so that it never gets dense enough to form an event horizon and a true black hole. "There are no such things", Vachaspati told New Scientist. "There are only stars going toward being a black hole but not getting there."

If true, this is way-worse than Pluto....

eta: But there is massive skepticism amongst scientists - perhaps so massive it could collapse into a very dark, hole-like thing....
