Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You don't know me! I could be drinking hardcore!
If you ever want to try hardcore, you need to give me some lead time so I can book a flight and get a shot glass engraved and buy batteries for the digital camera.

Saturday will be my first all-day programming class which we get every other weekend. Since it's supposed to be scorchingly hot, I suppose I can make the best of it as long as the AC holds out.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Lyra Jane!

Man, that's a bummer to read. A Wrinkle in Time was one of the great nostalgic joys of my childhood.

Other Side of the Sun is my favorite L'Engle. I remember it as heartbreaking and horrifying and I haven't read it it nearly 13 years. Lost my copy. I guess I'll have to get another.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a list of information and I need to find its provenance. Apparently I wrote the list. I have absolutely no memory of this at all, and have no idea if it's actually good data then. Hrrm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Just for you, sarameg: It's a whole new Ellen this year! Political Ellen! She's already talking about Larry Craig.
