Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That was a superfabulous review; one by someone who really read and grokked the book. I love how much of it is quoted or paraphrased, the reveiwer must have really liked your words.

Also, the post bits of "Nilly" made me all weepy, but of course, because we were here! I was telling the SO it was like the little kids' "My Book About Me" for Buffistas.

Did you request expedited service?

No. I can only hypothesize that the fact that my name on the application didn't exactly match my passport flagged it somehow.

They cashed my check on July 20. And I just got an automatic email saying it had been mailed.

Brian May is not just a rockstar, but he's about to be a phd holding one! [link]

Brian May is completing his doctorate in astrophysics, more than 30 years after he abandoned his studies to form the rock group Queen.
The 60-year-old guitarist and songwriter said he plans to submit his thesis, "Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud," to supervisors at Imperial College London within the next two weeks.

Our wings are not tired.

Wah, I am the only one that doesn't have my copy of The Book yet. Must make a trip to the big city some time this week. I looked when I went last week, but it was release day for HP and the book store people couldn't find it despite showing in the computer that they had 6 copies. grumble

Aw, Annabel has grown so much. What a cutie.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Not a baby at all -- and aside from the cute kid, it's a great photo.

I had brunch with sarameg and Jesse and Lisah and Maria! And then we-except-maria wandered around and shopped in a cute little Baltimorey hood.

But I can't make my phone work quite right, yet. Because i wanted to post this from my phone, but nooooooo....
