I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

If all of us do it, maybe we can make it grown-up behavior.

Good plan!

You're never too old for a pillow fort.

YAY

Sorry, Sparky-- your way seems like too much work.

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

Yeah, no, not that, Jesse.

Still in the process of resuming work.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

At least Lee seems firm in her opinions.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Still in the process of resuming work.

See, it's clear when you put it like that.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

huh ... I always used tortoiseshell to mean the ones that are varying shades of brown/tan/gold - tweedy, as Susan put it - and calico to mean lots of white with black and orange patches (they're almost always female).

In completely unrelated news, my office is miserably hot and humid, even with a fan going. bleah.

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

x-posted from Technology, because I want as many opinions as possible:

Someone tell me if I'm in danger from my apartment. I turned on a lamp, and the bulb blew out with a bright blue spark (fairly new bulb), at the same time my APC unit beeped, and my computer shut down but didn't turn off. When I tried to shut the computer off, the APC beeped again. I tried to turn on another little lamp, but it won't come on. The red light on the surge protecter it's plugged into is off. I tried pressing the switch to off and then back to reset and nothing happened. I went to turn on a different lamp (it's quite dark in here) and it too blew out with a blue spark. I don't know what that means but it probably isn't good.

I've unplugged everything on that circuit except the surge protecter and the APC, which are plugged in behind the huge metal filing cabinet and I can't easily reach them. The computer only turned off when I unplugged it from the APC.

What do I do? How serious is this?
