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.

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

Dude. Thanks. Out of the comics loop these days, but will go look.

Art Crawl!!!

I didn't see the episode with Tennant - so have no accent intel. It was an early one. (But given that there are only 17. . . )

I'd completely forgotten that there was this other show called Jericho. But I enjoyed the first series and also enjoyed this one. (I think I did an almost 100% Brit tv evening - with the two mysteries and MI-5.)

Art Crawl!!!

Okay, re-checked IMDB - Tennant's in season 1, episode 3 "A Lesson in Murder."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've got two air conditioners and a fan on, in a 500 square foot apartment, and it's still close to 80 degrees. This is not right.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Is there anywhere other than the standard travel places (Travelocity, Expedia, Orbitz,...) that one should look for nifty cruises (optimally including Brazil) at the very start of a search?

ita, I don't know if they would be your parents' cup of tea, but Windjammer Barefoot Cruises have always looked like great fun to me.

In other news, took Mom and Dad out to a steakhouse for rain-delayed Father's Day dinner tonight. Apparently it was Gimp Night, as there were three other wheelchairs and a guy on crutches on the main dining room,and we had to park the van in a regular parking spot. Mom's salad was probably 3 pounds of food, and allegedly had lettuce under the bands of cheese, bacon, egg, and croutons that completely covered the platter. I liked my tilapia, but there's essentially no ceiling to how salty a dish can be and still have me eat it—I suspect most other people would have spat out the first bite.

Also, I found out after the fact that a guy I just hooked up with is a Latin American television personality and singer. Trippy.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

For the second morning in a row, I've woken up around 5 AM... and then managed to go back to solid, dreamful sleep for another 3 or so hours. Which is good, but freaky, because usually when I'm awake, I'm AWAKE and that's all she wrote.

I should not look gift rest in the mouth.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

The marsupial wolf is interesting.

One of the links above led me to this. At about the 3:20 point, there are some interesting ones with wings that open and close. (yeah, some furries ...)
