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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was reading a magazine, listening to my iPod, in my own world.

And yet, I still say EW EW EW EW EW.

It's too early for me to talk about Clive Owen

At least you can daydream, right? I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on the hotness, even if it is pre-tea.

Hil, much health~ma to your mom. Here's hoping her hospital stay is a short one.

Happy Birthday Lyra Jane!

If all else fails on the wifebeater front, maybe there's a Sears nearby?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, Lyra Jane!

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

Same with TJ Maxx, Loehmanns, Filene's, etc.

I think I knew that about Filene's but not the rest. Are they of specific department stores? I mean, I guess Nordstrom Rack's provenance is pretty self-explanatory, and isn't Filene's something easy like that too?

maybe there's a Sears nearby?

There'll be one. Just trying to avoid the "No you're fucking kidding" feeling I got when I tried to buy some at Macy's. The minute I noted that Men's was on the third floor I just went home. Some of the little things feel like ridiculously much work.

At least you can daydream, right? I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on the hotness, even if it is pre-tea.

I've had tea and freshly squeezed orange juice. I am so primed right now. One frozen grape and I'll go off the bliss edge right into ripe Clive-appreciation territory.

I dream of a Vin Diesel con interview, wherein he reveals that instead of being there to promote a movie he was attending to put his dwarf character into RPGA tournament play.

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

I've been thinking about the physics of motion, and people's intuition about same. I'm gonna ask a few questions, and I'm interested in what people's intuition is on these questions. If you know the answers, hold off on posting for a bit, please. For all the questions, ignore issues of friction, aerodynamic drag, engine efficiency at different speeds, etc.

1) You are driving a car, and you accelerate from 0 to 25 mph. Say the amount of energy required is x. Now you continue to accelerate from 25 mph to 50 mph. What is the total amount of energy you used to accelerate from 0 to 50 mph?

2) You drop a heavy object from a height of 10 feet, and when it hits the ground it has a velocity of y. What would be the velocity if you drop it from 20 feet? From 40 feet?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Ha! You can respect the right to free speech, but you don't have to respect the content. I am a fan of that sort of inanity in the face of shudder-inducing hate.

Oh, ita! This made me tear up in a good way this morning! Thank you!

I don't have sound at work, so is there something depressing about the narcoleptic puppy? Maybe I don't want to know. Anyway, if any puppy were going to be narcoleptic it would be a dachshund. Mine falls asleep in mid-lick.

An' that's all I got this morning.
